UFC 96 Scene Report: The Meatheads Are Taking Over
(A good representative of the spokesmodels at the Arnold Classic. I’ll let you decide whether that’s good or bad.)
I have no idea what Columbus, Ohio is like on weekends when it isn’t hosting the Arnold Classic and the UFC. Maybe it’s a normal, pleasant little town. But this particular weekend it shines like a beacon attracting every meathead in North America. It’s the kind of city where when you walk into a restaurant and ask the hostess if there’s room at the bar, she replies that there’s an empty seat next to a big guy in a backwards baseball cap and then stops herself when she realizes that description is no help at all.
The UFC knows what they’re doing coming here on this weekend. Instead of trying to draw their crowd to Las Vegas, this is the weekend that they go where their crowd already is.
And since I’m here to report on tomorrow’s fights I figured, when in the land of meatheads, go to the Arnold Classic – or, as I now like to call it, Land of the Awesome t-shirts.
