UFC 95 - London England
Last weekend my brother in law and I fled the snowy north and flew south to London England to attend the Ultimate Fighting Championship UFC 95 show in the London O2 arena.
Luckily we weren’t alone as 13,268 people attended what was a very professional and entertaining evening of tops class fights.
There was one Swedish fighter competing, Per Eklund. Sadly Per in what was his third UFC appearance lost to Evan Dunham from Las Vega USA.
After following the UFC off and on for about 10 years it was great to finally see an event live. The sport of MMA has evolved amazingly the past few years, and it’s got a strong fan base. We are now seeing the first generation fighters emerging that have trained MMA from day one. They are fully all rounded and the seniors of the sport are now parsing down there knowledge to the up and coming fighters.
A real surprise was seeing some real UFC stars who were also there in London watching the fights, Dana White, Georges St. Pierre, B.J. Penn, Wanderlei Silva, Rampage Jackson.
