So we arrived at the mohegan sun around 4:00 p.m. on friday to check in. The fights were suppose to start at 7:00 so that gave us 3 hours to get situated and figure out where we were going. The room was quite nice, I didn't have my tape measure with me, but I seriously think it was bigger than my house
we grabbed a quick dinner at one of the restaurants and walked down to the arena to head inside,
my wife says peace
the first fight with the women was pretty exciting
but we were here to see jeff "scary nickname" nader
I really thought jeff was going to finish him here
after 3 rounds of back and forth action, we waited with bated breath for the results
personally I think jeff won 29-28, but I'm not a judge
I realized as jeff was leaving the cage I had no way to contact him, I forgot to send him my cell number so he could text me, I had a package of jerky I told him I was going to bring him. As we were sitting watching the rest of the fights I thought I saw someone sitting cageside that looked like nader and dbt but couldn't be sure. My wife and I sat there debating if it was him or not so I ran down to cageside and was stopped by security asking to see my ticket. I apologized and said sorry I don't have a ticket, but this may sound weird but I'm sponsoring one of the fighters and I have a package of meat for him and I am trying to see if that's him sitting cage side. The security guard looked at me and was like, your joking right. No I'm not I told him, can you just go see if that's Jeff Nader sitting over there for me, if it is tell him I have a package of meat for him.
The security guard walked over and talked to another security guard who was overwatching ring side, they both turned and looked at me and started laughing. After a few minutes the guard came back over and said sorry sir, there are no fighters sitting cageside. Awesome. So I went back to my seat and logged on here with my phone and sent jeff a pm saying send me a message so we can meet up. We sat and watch the rest of the fights and received no contact, oh well we tried.
So since we couldn't hang with nader, we did the next best thing, we hit the poker room
after spending a couple hours living my fantasy of being in the WSOP, I was starting to get tired, we had been going since 7 am and it was now 1 am. I was ready for bed. So we started heading back towards our room and we saw a couple walking towards us. As we walked by I noticed he had a couple of shiners starting to form and his arm was in a cast. I thought to myself, that looks like jeff. So I stopped and said hey jeff, he turned around and said yes? I said it's me KVR. I didn't recognize dbt at first because she had cut her hair really short. He came up and shook my hand and I was like what happened, he told me he had broke his hand during the fight and just got out of the hospital, we went and sat at the bar and talked for about 30 minutes. I was questioning him on everything ( I think I can write his biography now) We basically jammed a 6 hour conversation into 30 minutes. If anyone knows how big mohegan sun is, it is amazing we crossed paths. We walked him towards where he was parked and I shook his good hand and invited him to come visit anytime he wants, he then hugged my wife and tried copping a feel, the pain meds must have been kicking in. Couple of points, one, Bellator put on a great night of fights, two, nader is a great guy and if any of you have a chance to meet him or support him at his next fight, do so, third after all that, I forgot to give nader his package of meat.
1) That jerky is world class!
2) I really appreciate your support and you guys coming down to watch the fights!
3) You two are great people and we both enjoyed chatting with you guys. We'll definitely plan a trip up as soon as it stops snowing up there.
4) Those rooms at Mohegan are awesome.
5) Bellator puts on GREAT shows.
6) You married above your level. Your wife is way out of your league.
