FWIW, I work some gigs for Showtime and I worked last nights show. It was at the Chumash Casino, in Santa Ynez, Ca., approx 30 miles north of Santa Barbara. Nice crowd 90% capacity. It's too bad that venue does not sell booze. With all those fights, girls, and music, I'd think a lot of booze would loosen up the big crowd. They were a bit quiet IMO.
Fight #5... I agree, Shayna looked real good. Her opponent was undefeated and she submitted her very quick. She's kind of sexy too, in person.
Fight #6... was strange; Malaipet pretty much stood back and kicked Kaleo at will. No take downs, just lots of kicks to Kaleo's front leg. After the fight, backstage, Kaleo could not walk.
Fight #8... was good action. I thought it could have gone either way, but as you said, Hamman's GnP is strong and when his took Rosa's back and put the hooks in, that rear naked was a done deal.
Celebs in the crowd/as corners; Tito Ortiz, Chuck Lidell, Josh Barnett, Nick Diaz, Mike "The Rhino" Burke (he's fighting Kimbo next month), one of the Gracie boys was there, Cesar, I think.
