Expo today was AWESOME!!! 
Sat in on the Q&A's for Bruce Buffer followed by Joe Rogan and Mike Goldberg, they were all great. Rogan is hilarious.
Saw some great guys there too. Dan Miragliotta (sp?), Steffan Bonnar, got to see Jon Jones giving demonstrations.
The Q&A with Dana White was a bit disappointing, not through any fault of his at all, but because people had the opportunity to speak to an incredibly important and knowledgeable guy about the business, MMA as a whole, where the UFC is going or any fight or fighter, but instead most people just took the opportunity to try and get something free out of him. Was a shame and pretty rude
He was a gent and gave a lot of stuff away though.
Weigh ins were cool, Hardy and Bisping both had good stare downs following the the scales, both seem up for it. Bisping looks dead cut, hope he's not too trashed from making weight. Did notice he was drinking from the second he stepped off the scale....
Couple of pics....
My trophy for the day, signed by Randy Couture
Me looking like I haven't eaten in a year with the great man himself
Predictions for tomorrow?....
Hathaway, first round knock out.
Hardy, second round knock out, but don't be suprised to see him take it to the ground just to silence his critics. May go to a ground and pound victory. Still Hardy, but who knows when that'll happen. If he tries to go to ground and isn't comfortable he'll get straight back to standing, he'll control the location and pace of that fight, no doubt.
Bisping. Think this bad boy might go the distance. If it does, Bisping will win on points, Sexyama will tire quickly and wont do enough to score the rounds in his favour. He's a beast to finish though and can see him hanging in there.
However, I'm going to cross my fingers for a second round ground and pound victory for Bisping.
Lets see how poor my predictions are come tomorrow night!!
Getting seriously excited now, not been to a live UFC before. Woop!!
