I dont have a pic. But in the spring he was in town for an event at the Patriot center at George Mason univ. About a half hour away from Wash DC. I live in Northern Va. I met him at Dick's Sporting Good the on a friday the day before the event. He was not fight obviously but do any of you remember this event. It was a shitty show, Pete Spratt was headlining it. And for some reason I am not sure why a whose who of MMA heroes where there. Arlovski,Randy,Rampage, and many others. Shogun was there as well, they where doing some kind of promotion, and I still dont know what it was. I went over and talked to him. Like the guy said about Keith he was rather shy. His english was downright horrible. But he was very classy. I told him to take his time coming back from that knee injury and I told him how much I respect him and fighters in general. I told him how I liked Thiago Silva as well, and this is where it got weird. He asked me how Thiago did in his last fight. I figured with the closeness of the chute box connection he would already know, maybe he was testing me. And I told him Houston Alexander was made a fool of by Thiago. I dont want you guys to think I am making this up, if any of you remember that event at the Patriot mention it here. Also back then, he told me he would be returning around December, so I knew that already before most did. And what I noticed upon meeting him, he was wearing designer jeans with a sweet affliction shirt, was that he was not that muscular and he looked the same height I expected him to be, but he is a lot wider than you would expect. He was with a guy who looked like a trainer or a agent, the guy was a Juanito Ibbar sized person. This guy is one of my favorite fighters so meeting him was awesome. By the way, pretty much no one knew he who was. I told someone near me and he knew, but it seems like he can walk around anywhere in states pretty much unbothered until he runs into guys like me. It was quite the delight of my day.
