[pictures added]

After a little bit we quickly found our spot by the cage.  Someone stole our press badges! Imposters! LOL.  IrockRadio.com was there supporting local mma and hard rock so we made sure we went there to say Hi and scored some tickets to Steel Panther and entered the contest for Stone Temple Pilots!  A few other vendors but one I would like to mention who has been there since the beginning of PFC is GetPunched! All fights are intact and there are a total of 12 fights tonight.  The refs are Bryan Minor and John English.  I have no voice but no worries, you won't miss a thing.  Please follow along as I keep you all up to date.
