Hi Bloggers, just got back from a fantastic weekend in Newcastle. Went to watch the Ultimate Fighting Championship at the Metro Radio Arena in newcastle. The action began at 6pm and ended at around 10.45 pm.
The only gripe I had about the evening was the price we payed for the seats, we were sat in the £150 seats which was a good view, but the row behind us only payed £100, the metro radio arena is quite a small venue. So if I was to go again I would defo purchase the cheapest seats in the arena. Because you can get a great view of the octagon even if your seated in the back row. Being such a big fan of the Ufc I have been to all the previous U.K. events in 2007, and I hope to see many more in 2008.
Fight of the night had to be between Paul Taylor and Paul Kelly, the first 30 seconds of the fight were amazing each fighter stood toe to toe slugging it out.
Really enjoyed the Lightweight title fight as well, it was a bit one sided even more so when penn opened up a nasty cut on stevenson’s forehead. The fight was effectively over after that because there was that much blood running into stevenson’s eyes his vision was severeley impaired.
Here are just a few picture’s I taken on the night!
Here’s the view of the Arena

Looking forward to Ufc 81 in vegas now with former WWE superstar Brock Lesnar taking on former UFC Heavyweight champion Frank Mir.
Bye for now!
There’s nothing more entertaining than two men in a cage beating the absolute snot out of each other.
