Met Frank Mir at a knock off GNC place. Told me I look like Seth Rogan. Fuckin prick
Like to hear about the Chuck story, sounds interesting.Met:
Rob Font briefly after his UFC Debut. Congratulated him on his epic knockout and 50k bonus, he said "Thanks a lot bro, means a lot."
Michael Bisping right when he got off The Ultimate Fighter and started his run in the UFC. Exchanged emails, asked him for advice as I had been training and he was my favorite fighter at the time. He responded with a ton of advice and lengthy emails but I ran out of things to ask and didn't want to bug him any further. Was really blunt and direct, but honest and super helpful.
Chuck Liddell (This one wasn't a good experience for me, I was really disappointed as I was a kid and he was a buddy of my coach's, and he just happened to be the guy I looked up to at the time. I won't go into the exact situation but he was the first famous person I had ever met and it was the first and last time I ever felt star-struck. This was also when he was Light-Heavyweight champion, right before he fought Tito the first time.) (Edit: Might've been the 2nd tito fight, I'm not sure but I had a poster with his and Tito's face on it.)
Fabiano Scherner (Was the Jiu Jitsu Coach at a gym I went to.)
Dennis Hallman (Met about a dozen times. Always super mild-mannered and polite.)
Jeff Monson (One of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Always willing to help people out both with MMA related things and non-MMA related things. Still have his Cell Number in my phone and see him maybe once or twice a year on average.)
Din Thomas (Very briefly in passing.)
Colin Fletcher (One of the nicest guys ever and always gives you loads of his time. Super cool.)
Joanne Calderwood (JoJo!) Sparred with her for a couple of rounds when I was staying in Scotland.
(There's a few more names I've trained with and sparred with over the years. Overall I'd say Jeff is the one I'd recommend anyone take the time to meet and talk with if you get the chance. He's a wealth of knowledge and always willing to help people out or put you in contact with someone who can help.)
You’re a Sherdog meme!! Seen this photo in the memes for years and never knew who it was or where it came from.

was at the pub having a drink and some guy walked into the bar offering everyone a free drink, but it was a cheap whisky, so naturally i refused, he then punched me in the back of the head.Who and how was your experience?
A supermarket would be more believable.I met BJ Penn at the Las Vegas airport
Its an old joke from a classic thread many yrs agoA supermarket would be more believable.

I know, I was just implying that the new joke aka met BJ at a supermarket is less suspicious. Lol. Btw, do you remember who made the first joke? Tom something?Its an old joke from a classic thread many yrs ago
and famous people get spotted at airports all the time
I forget...that SHOULD be in the Archives probably...I know, I was just implying that the new joke aka met BJ at a supermarket is less suspicious. Lol. Btw, do you remember who made the first joke? Tom something?
Good old days. See you’ve been around since ‘04. That’s when Lee Murray was a Sherdogger.I forget...that SHOULD be in the Archives probably...
And El Guapo Bas RuttenGood old days. See you’ve been around since ‘04. That’s when Lee Murray was a Sherdogger.
just an average sherdogger, nothing to see there <45>Fucking hell, to most you'd be a big dude but you're the same size as the rest of us (ha ha)
This was the day where all sherdoggers became 6'6 musclebound beasts. Uber TS. Dude was like 20 or 21 too. Super young.I met Frank Mir and Josh Barnett at a fan expo. I was astounded by how small they were (I'm on the left, not the cans on the right)
