T-Mobile Arena

On September 14th of last year, I traveled with two friends to Las Vegas, Nevada to attend a UFC event at T-Mobile Arena. The event was Noche UFC, a Fight Night celebrating Mexican Independence Day. The main event was the rematch between Valentina Shevchenko and Alexa Grasso for the women's flyweight championship.

We went as VIP guests and got some cool extras out of the deal, like press-box seats for the weigh-ins and a chance to hold a real UFC belt. They are heavier than you'd think.

Here's a picture of me next to active UFC lightweight Trevor Peek.

Here's some pictures from the main event:

I made a bet on the fight, a one-hundred dollar bet on Shevchenko by Submission that would've paid out $800.

It was a really close call. In the second round, Shevchenko had Grasso in a mounted guillotine that looked like it might finish the fight.

After the fight, Valentina Shevchenko revealed that she had broken her thumb during the first round. She continued to fight for all five rounds, but because of the break, she was not able to secure the submission.

The fight went the full distance and was scored a split-draw. The decision was controversial, as one judge gave a 10-8 round for Grasso in the 5th. A third fight between these great warriors will probably happen this year.
