I got IFL tix for August 2!

JoeRoganismyhero · 06-24-2007, 07:54 PM

This will be my 1st IFl event and it's the semi-finals!, I saw that Horodecki was gonna be on the card and that did it,I went and got 2 lower level tickets.

I'll try to get some pics and post them on here for you guys

Shpongled · 06-25-2007, 04:30 AM

haha i just posted my reply in the other thread you talked about getting tix lol.

You're going to love watching Horo live. That kid is awesome!

I'm jealous, and have fun!

Horo has a broken hand and may not fight in Aug.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I ran into him 5 days ago at work. He trains near my store.

JoeRoganismyhero · 06-27-2007, 07:41 AM

Oh that's right I remember you mentioning that before.

Tell him to tape it up and go out there I wanna see him fight LOL just kidding

Ninjabot · 06-27-2007, 05:01 PM

Dude his index finger knuckle is shifted about an inch upwards. Looks nasty. If he does fight (i'm guessing he will be healed up by then) it will be a rematch with him and Bart Palaszewski. Now that would be fricking wicked.

JoeRoganismyhero · 06-28-2007, 11:37 AM

Yeah I saw that on the IFL website, their last fight Horodecki won by split decision I think. Looks like a great card all around, and the Anacondas are a stacked team with Hieron, Radach and Horodecki!

RockemSockem · 06-28-2007, 03:37 PM

I'm going to be going to this event too, although i'm not sure where they're seating me. We should meet up at some point even if just to say hello. Considering the lack of love we get on the East Coast, i'm sure there will be a few of us there. Who else is going to this? Tailgate party anyone?

JoeRoganismyhero · 06-29-2007, 07:40 AM

Great idea!

Yeah I'm still waiting for ticket center to call me so I can get my actual tickets,I paid for them already and I just know they are lower level.

We can meet up wherever you like, just let me know

JoeRoganismyhero · 07-15-2007, 07:08 PM

Me and rockemsockem are going to this IFL event August 2nd, is anyone else going that would like to meet up in the parking lot?

Horo won't be fighting Aug 2nd

Gygax · 07-19-2007, 05:54 PM

I'll be there as well. I'm not sure if I'll be in the regular seating or the media area. I may be doing a live blog for this event over on the site I help out on. If my media pass does not come through, I'll hook up with you guys for sure.

I typed in one ticket into Ticketmaster. At this point, I could get a 7th row ringside seat for $125. Not too shabby at all.

The IFL has said the seating will be open for 7000-7500, meaning the entire upper level will be closed.

This is the latest lineup for the event, courtesy of Sam Kaplan over at five ounces of pain. The exact order of the event will be determined by coin flips prior to the event.

Tokyo Sabers (3-0 team, 9-6 indiv.) vs. New York Pitbulls (3-0, 10-5)

155 lbs: Savant Young vs. Erik Owings
170 lbs: Antonio McKee vs. Delson Heleno
185 lbs.: *David Phillips vs. **Dan Miller
205 lbs.: Vladimir Matyushenko vs. Jamal Patterson
265 lbs.: Wayne Cole vs. Bryan Vetell

The Iowa Silverbacks (2-1, 9-6) vs. Los Angeles Anacondas (3-0, 11-4)

155 lbs.: Bart Palaszewski vs. ***Adam Disabato
170 lbs.: Rory Markham vs. ****Chris Clements
185 lbs.: *****Gerald Harris vs. Benji Radach
205 lbs.: Mike Ciesnolevicz vs. Alex Schoenauer
265 lbs.: Ben Rothwell vs. Krzysztof Soszynski

* Injury replacement for Kaz Hamanaka
** Injury replacement for Fabio Leopoldo
*** Injury replacement for Chris Horodecki
**** Injury replacement for Jay Hieron
***** Injury replacement for Ryan McGivern

JoeRoganismyhero · 07-19-2007, 07:49 PM

Wow fighters are dropping like flies for the semi's! I believe that is 7 different fighters from the original card(I know Wayne Cole was a replacement and I believe Bryan Vetell is also)

Gygax if you could meet up with us that would be great! As the event draws near we'll figure out exactly where we will meet.

RockemSockem · 07-19-2007, 08:03 PM

I just got my tickets in the mail today. My9 hooked me up pretty well. Section 1, row P. I'm bummed about Horodecki and Heiron especially, but i was looking forward to seeing Fabio Leopoldo too. Hopefully we can get a bunch of us together before the event. I'm looking forward to meeting some people here.

As long as Vlady stays healthy. I love watching this guy compete and think he's one of the most underappreciated fighters in MMA. He is easily the best p4p fighter in the IFL imo.

Gygax · 08-02-2007, 08:47 AM

Here's the final card with the weighin results

JoeRoganismyhero · 08-02-2007, 09:42 AM

Wow they are having 4 prelims?! They have been advertising 2...cool more fights

My tix are in section 126, not sure what gate I'll be coming in...but I'll have a shirt on that says MMA on the front and "I'd rather be choking someone" on the back.

Rockemsockem and/or Gygax if you know where in the parking lot you will be let me know and we'll get together, even if just to say hi!

See you guys tonight!

RockemSockem · 08-02-2007, 04:20 PM

Yea i know as little as you do. I'll be wearing a tye dye shirt with a grim reaper on the front and back. I'm easy to spot.

Gygax · 08-02-2007, 04:24 PM

Doors open at 6:15pm, first prelim starts a few minutes after that.

Blue No Fear shirt with a dragon on back. I'm leaving for the arena in a few minutes.

jyd94 · 08-06-2007, 05:13 PM

So what did you guys think of the show? I was there too.
