Got an interesting return today. Since I got a "Declined" return from Ben Henderson from the Lab, I tried him VV for UFC on Fox. I'm a little skeptical because of how quickly it came back and the whole "declined" situation leads me to believe someone else may have signed this. I'll post a pic tomorrow for you guys to comment on.

You shouldn't have any worries.
Via venue ttm normally come back fast.
My pal in TX got his via venue from Staples Center on the Wednesday after the event also.
I was hoping for 1 or 2 today from KeyArena, but my last via venue was received on the Thursday following the event.
So hopefully Siver & Shogun show up on the marrow!

haha thanks! I think I was just concerned that because he declined at the gym, why would he accept at the venue, but if you think it's legit, I'll jump on that train lol. Glad to finally get something from him, this was my third attempt.

Yeah, IDK what's going on with The Lab refusing mail for Bendo.
Now that he's UFC champ they must be getting too much fanmail for him.
They were very, very welcoming of fanmail in his WEC days & he'd sign every 5-6 months or so.
I'd like to get a response/answer from The Lab on what's going on.

maybe I'll give them a call this afternoon and see what their reasoning is.

I just called the MMA Lab and just asked if I could send something in to get signed by Henderson, and the guy told me no because they only do signings in house now, so he said I could come in during the allowed times to get something signed. He also said they don't accept TTM because Henderson wants to focus on the fight more than he has to focus on all the outside variables like media, autograph signings, and something else he said I can't remember. Looks like TTM is closed for Henderson, but VV is still open.

Great post.
Thanks for confirming this.

*I wonder what happens to all the stuff sent before they started refusing the mail.
I think I have 1 there still & I know other guys do too.

It might be something like in the case of Anderson Silva. When I called his gym and asked if I could send something there, they guy said yes I could, but Silva probably won't sign it. He said there is a huge stack of stuff in the gym just sitting there collecting dust that he probably will never get to. I don't know if eventually it will be returned or trashed (I would hope not though).
