    Allright lads I just though id let you know I met the Axe Murderor last night! I think Kaldog was there too but he never PM'd me his mobile number and Ive no Idea what he looks like! Laughing

    Anyway the actual Seminar was just really basic MMA stuff, a couple of nice techniques like switch hitting and how to sprawl back to your feet after a Takedown. Did a bit of clintch work etc..

    Got our photos taken with him, and he sat in the middle and gave a talk, he told a few funny stories and gave people advise on trainining and fighting etc.. then took questions. I asked if he really got the "Saku" belt when he beat Sakuraba and he said he did, he said Sakuraba and the Japanese in general are really nice people and he keeps the belt in his Vegas Gym.

    There was photographers there as well so hopefully Ill get a few pics up. He seemed in good health, he wasnt on crutches and was actually demonstrating all the techniques. He said he was gutted to miss the Sexyamam fight and is still hoping to fight Leben next... and someone asked about fightign Sonnen, he said he might go after him next year!

    Anyway he is touring the UK doing seminars to keep an eye out, id recomend it.

    Cheers lads, it was awsome to meet him. I didnt even hang around afterwards cause there was a swarm of 100 people waiting to get him to sign Pride dvd's and toys etc..

    I walked up to him at the start and shook his hand and said its an honor to meet you and he shook my hand in both hands and said its an honor to be here. Absolute Gent.

    Ill try and get some photos up.
