Mania Trip to Glory: Last Man Standing

via images.listenernetwork.com

Hello Maniacs! Yeah I know I lagged bigtime on this fanpost, and I apologize for that, but if you saw my girlfriend's epic tits you'd understand why it took me so long to find the time to write this on the weekends. Between those funbags, my slave-like work week, afterwork basketball league, Mania, etc. I hardly have any time/energy to do anything! Well anyways, enough with the excuses! On to the fanpost!

SpikeTV is replaying this epic event FREE tonight (Friday) so it's perfect time to post this:

The SoCal Maniacs (myself, roy1, d*locc, Smerf) went to the awesome Glory L.A.: Last Man Standing double-event that featured not one, but TWO epic 1Night Tournaments!!! It was literally one of THE best events I've ever been to and perfectly showcased how 1Night Tournaments are awesome n epic!

1st let's talk about the newest Maniac that had the balls to meat up with strangers from an internet MMA forum: Smerf

Smerf was really cool and fun to hang out with. This was his first live combat sports event that his wife allowe...errr, that he went to, lol. One of his favorite fighters is The Korean Zombie, and besides MMA, he also likes Snowboarding (which is rad in my book).

The rest of the Maniacs on this trip (me, roy1, and d*locc) y'all already know about from previous Mania meat ups.

Now let's get to the actual trip...

On the way up there d*locc came prepared as always with a cooler full of beer and plenty of ganja. We get to the parking lot, we park, and we pre-game for a lil'bit; and as we were pre-gaming d*locc noticed my badass PRIDE 2004 GP t-shirt I was wearing. I told everyone "I nut my pants when I found this shirt!" thinking it would get a laugh...but no! Silence and awkward looks! I was like wtf? That was a perfect Mania-esque joke! Anyways, more on that later...

We get to our seats and everybody is happy except me. I'm pissed b/c I got the venue mixed up and thought it was the same one where the K-1 event was held and picked seats accordingly. We could've had even better seats than the ones we had, but the Maniacs were very happy with them, so that made me happy. This was our view:

The fights start and everything is awesome. The fights are cool; we have a great view; we're at the top row aisle for easy beer runs n stuff; and Glory even had Gene Simmons from KISS come out and address the crowd!

Everything is going great until the place started filling up more. Of course directly behind us had to sit some stupid assholes who think it's funny to yell out obnoxious n annoying stuff. I can't stand those types of drunks. They were so fucking lucky that Smerf and the SoCal Maniacs weren't bothered by them...b/c if they had been? Oh man, those assholes would've entered a world of hurt. I would've told them off loudly n publicly to shut the fuck up, and if they didn't there would've been an incident where security would've likely had to get involved b/c that's how I roll: nobody fucks with my friends, absolutely nobody.

The first 1Night Tournament event was really cool. It was the one headlined by Mirko Cro-Cop's fight that aired free on Spike before the PPV portion. It also had Andy Ristie's fight on it, which delivered a sensational KO!

After that event there was a brief intermission before the PPV portion w/the 8man Tourney. Everybody went to get more beer or make a bathroom run etc., and then outside to smoke. When I got outside where everybody was at smoking, I was bummed to learn that I had just missed seeing Scott Coker walk by! Thankfully I got to talk with Coker at the Bellator event I recently attended and requested 1Night Tourney GPs and copro w/ONEFC! Anyways, back to the Glory event. So we're outside smoking (except me, I don't smoke) and d*locc brings up my awesome PRIDE 2004 GP shirt again. I used this opportunity for my joke again and said "Yeah bro, I blew like 3 loads when I found this shirt!" which was met again with no laughs and a "what?" So I rephrased it: "I creamed my pants when I found this!" which was still met with blank stares and crickets. At this point I was like fuck it, the joke clearly failed so I just said yeah the shirt was awesome and left it at that. LOL

Anyways, back to the fights. So the PPV portion with the Last Man Standing 8man Tourney is fucking EPIC as you would expect. I definitely recommend watching the replay on SpikeTV tonight (Friday).

In between the Tourney fights we were treated with a Melvin Manhoef fight and a HW Title fight between Ricco Verhoeven and Daniel Ghita!

After the HW Title fight came the Final of the 8man Tournament, and I just want to say how awesome that 8man Tournament was. A lot of ppl always rip on the 1Night Tournament format but this event showed just how epic it truly is! And just imagine how rad it would've been if Joe Schilling had pulled off the upset and won the whole thing!

As we've seen from PRIDEFC, the 1Night Tournament Format can and does work in MMA at the highest level; and I pray that the format returns for you younger fans. BGMMA actually got it legalized in USA again (BGMMA O.N.E. Oct.3) so it IS possible!

Glory's Last Man Standing Final was fought between L.A.'s Joe Schilling and Russia's Artem Levin

The Final of Glory's Last Man Standing 8man Tourney was fantastic and cherry'd a sensational Tournament card!

I had A LOT of fun and really enjoyed being with my fellow Maniacs, and CAN'T WAIT till the next Mania Trip!

I'm sure there's plenty more stories from this trip I'm forgetting (I was drinking, give me a break) that the SoCal Maniacs will tell you about in the comments so enjoy!

MANIA TRIPS RULE!!!
