If you are above seattle, check Charlie's combat club. Chaz used to train with Ivan and Josh Barnett and Jeff Monson before MMA exploded.
Did Portland clear UFC? It'd be nice. I wonder who will be on the card? I know they had Rumble At the Roseland a few times.
I was at Affliction's show and it was off the hook. But all the events I've been to have been pretty live to me (Strikeforce, IFL, UFCs in Sac, EliteXC).
I think this month was pretty bad ass for MMA. We had Affliction and UFC, then Dream, then EliteXC.. Plus I got some jiu jitsu training with Marcelo Garcia and Ryan Hall, so July is the best month for me, martial art wise.
