Day 2 of the UFC Fan Expo was even more high energy than the first.The fans streamed into the Mandalay Bay ahead of UFC 100, and the convention center was jumping off!We started off day 2 at the Fairtex booth with an autograph signing by WEC fighter Joseph Benavidez.Joseph is coming off a big win, and looking forward to facing Dominick Cruz on August 9th. King of the Cage welterweight champ Mike “Joker” Guymon stopped by as well.The fans lined up for photos, and Joker kept everybody in stitches.That guy is hilarious!
After a few hours at the booth, the fan inside me took over, and I had to get out and see a bit more of the Expo.I cruised over to the mats and watched a few matches at The Grappler’s Quest tournament that ran inside the UFC Expo.There was a lot of slick talent on display, and almost every match I saw was good.
I made my way around the Expo floor next.It was good to catch up with friends and contacts at booths around the hall.MMA has grown so much!I couldn’t believe how many people had packed the Expo!
My last stop was the THQ booth.I figured I had earned a little video game time, and I grabbed a spot at one of the PS3 stations playing UFC Undisputed.Check out our man James Irvin rocking the Fairtex gear.
All and all, it was a great show.We’re looking forward to show number 2 next year.Keep an eye out for us on the road.Thanks to everyone who came by the Fairtex booth to show support, and say hello.Special thanks to everyone who wore their Fairtex clothing to the UFC Fan Expo.
