We jumped in the car about 10am and headed out to the Arco Arena located in sunny Sacramento California. Sam Diggs and I locked in our media passes

and made our way straight to the catering and loaded up on some great food. Making our way to our seats, we noticed that the place was packed and ready for the hometown boy Urijah Faber. The undercard fights we re good…but the Miguel Torres vs. Yoshiro Maeda fight was off the chain
Miguel and Yoshiro went toe to toe until Torres sealed Maeda’s eye shut and the fight was called off in the 3rd round. The Arco arena was packed with anticipation for the Urijah Faber and Jens Pulver fight and they were not to be disappointed. Favorite Faber lived up to his quickness and power while Jens Pulver held his ground and gave it his all, it was Faber that received the unanimous decision

Keeping the World FeatherWeight Belt firmly around his waist
Back at the press conference, Jens Pulver brought down the house with his emotional testimony of how his life had changed and what being a family man meant to him…there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. I think I am going to name my next kid Jens…

Once again as Faber took the stage, he commanded the respect of the press as he answered the barrage of “what next” questions..to which he aptly replied…” I am ready for anyone and anything, for the time being I am going to travel the world and be a rockstar”

Insane fights, great seats and awesome company…the UFC/WEC knows how to put on a fight!

The 404 Podcast on CNET (listen here) had me on as a guest this morning (8am PST) and we also streamed the event on the front page of Skateboards.com The show was cool, being that I do some radio it was nice to see an actual studio being used for podcast and live streaming as people often forget about sound quality etc. when doing a podcast or live stream. So we talked about Blockbuster putting a bid for Circuit City, the new company could be called CircuitBusters (chat room input here)…we laughed. Then we switched to Botox…now…anyone that knows someone doing this needs to stop them from self mutilation, you are supposed to have wrinkles and laugh lines..they are NORMAL. We checked out some viral video stuff…one in particular of a Rugby player (that’s all the heads up I am giving) and took a look at the hottie Megan Fox who starred in Transformers. Overall the show went incredibly well, with full descriptions of what Skateboards.com , Snowboards.com and Surfboards.com does and how people can enjoy it as much as we enjoy making it…now go and join up.
