UFC 104 Machida vs. Shogun

machida-shogun-ufc-104
UFC 104 took place in Los Angeles at Staples Center and I was so stoked especially because Machida was fighting.

Even before the fight, most people I knew were rooting for Machida, saying it is not even fair because Machida will totally win. The result, was actually quite surprising where Shogun actually did most of the work to actually win, however judges let Machida keep his title. As for me, I was happy that Machida won. He is one of my most favorite fighters other than GSP (because he’s super sexy) but Machida is after all, of Japanese descent, just like me! People are still arguing about the fight, saying it is unfair, due to Shogun’s overall “better” performance. I think people should just forget it, because Machida kept his title and the result is already announced. Maybe the judges were Machida fans, we’ll never know.

I really did wish I was actually there at the fight because that’s the most exciting. I’ve done that for a few of the fights in Vegas and the vibe is just crazy! Unfortunately I wasn’t able to attend the actual fight at the Staples center but I saw the fight at not one, but TWO exciting places. I was a UFC/Cazadores Tequila promo model at Panama Joe’s in Long Beach to watch the first few fights, and the main fight card I saw at Wokcano’s in Long Beach when I was a Bacardi girl!

Here are the photos to see my promo modeling outfits and what I kinda had to do. It’s kind of like “work” right?
