February Means Time For a New Blog

So what is new in the world of Damon you ask? Well...

1) Went to Nashville in January for the UFC on FX show. Had a good time hanging out with friends and colleagues and went to an awesome bar with the biggest beer on draft selection I've ever seen.




Fights were awesome, lots of knockouts and my buddy Pat Barry got a big win which always makes me happy.

2) From there I went to Chicago for UFC on Fox 2. Remembered to actually take a few pictures at the open workouts there


Michael Bisping


Rashad Evans


Here's Urijah Faber repping some WEC pride in the media room in the back of the United Center


This is the Pants shop. What significance does it hold to the trip to Chicago? None really but it's the motherfucking Pants Shop!

But by far the best part of my trip to Chicago was finally geting to chill with Amarena!


We met briefly last year, but never actually got to hang out. It was so cool to finally chill with her! I even shared my Nicolas Cage story, which I know for a fact Phecda is also a big fan of

3) After Chicago I finally got to come home and last Thursday I attended a Kevin Smith Q&A that was aired nationwide at movie theaters. It was super cool. I wrote a review that will be up in the SG Blog this week Keep an eye out



4) Made a new profile pic. What do you think?


5) Going to see Blind Pilot here in Columbus on Monday night. I can't even express how excited I am about this show! They've quickly become one of my favorite bands and I'd highly recommend picking up their albums if you have the chance.



6) Very rarely to I pimp out my writing from the MMA world on here, but I wrote this piece today and I'm especially fond of it. It's a behind the scenes look at a great story from the first season of the 'Ultimate Fighter'. Still makes me laugh

How a Bottle of Mad Dog Almost Prevented Griffin vs. Bonnar

7) No real travel for fights coming up until April. March 3 Strikeforce comes to Ohio, which is cool, cause I love covering events from home. It only happens once a year so it's pretty awesome. If anybody is interested in the fights let me know and I'm sure I can bring you down to meet some of the fighters, etc.

In April I'll be heading to Atlanta to cover UFC 145: Jones vs. Evans which will be a fucking epic fight! Hopefully I'll get to see Epiic and Setsuka while I'm in town.

8) My plans for Hell City hit a bump in the road because the UFC scheduled the UFC on Fox 3 card on May 5, which is of course the same weekend as Hell City. I'm hoping I can get out of it because I already put a deposit down on a tattoo. Here's what I should be getting, assuming I can go.



It's a Cylon from Battlestar: Galactica which is an awesome show in case you didn't know.

9) I think that's about it from me for now. The UFC has a couple of shows coming up this month and then leading into the Strikeforce show here in Ohio in March, but then I get almost a month off from any events. It actually forces me to work harder to create news for the website, but at the same time I get some free time on weekends, which is pretty awesome.

Although that means I'd need to have a social life, which for those of you that know me, know I'm painfully single and don't have much of a social life but we'll just pretend otherwise

10) "We're here to see Koothrappali not kill Batman"


Leave me love!
