He sent me one of his promos signed saying "Nice Cards" but he folded it and it got some water damage on it as it was raining the day the mail man brought it back.
I've been bartending for years. Two years ago, there was a massive wrestling tournament here and Michael Chandler was there to support the Missouri team. He walked up to the packed bar and not a single person knew who he was, so I was like - hey come here. I told him I knew he was the Bellator champ and I was a huge fan but I didn't want to start a photobomb frenzy, so I told him I'd act like we were friends to keep it calm. We ended up drinkin a few shots of Rumpleminze and talkin' fights. It was awesome. I've been a huge fan of him and his fights. When I heard him, Johnny Case, Myles Jury and a few other guys were moving to PowerMMA - I knew that they'd be getting some GREAT training so I was excited.
Additionally, I received a signed photo from Paul Varelans yesterday. It was signed in person at the UFC Fan Expo thanks to my friend Sean from American Icon. Another one off the list.
