- Tank sat quietly through the entire wait up to the weigh-ins, much unlike his opponent who came in with a huge posse, and did not stay near the crowd. Tank also was happy to meet each and every fan who came over to him.

- Photgraphers were asked to sit down during Kimbo Slice walk out, his wife was asked to sit down. The Elite XC staff apologized to her over the PA system.

- Ken Pavia was not in Austrialia as he had thought he would be with his fighter out of action at that overseas event. He now is going to be cage side for his two clients fighting.

- The star of the movie "Never Back Down" was attending the event but did not seem to interested. When asked who he thought was going to win, he said Kimbo. Then asked about Ricco vs. "Big Foot," he said he was not sure. He also did not know Ricco had been out of the UFC for years, not months.

- In attendance, Jason "Mayhem" Miller, Anderson "The Spider" Silva, "JZ", Connan, reps from the IFL and HDNet and many more.

- No free tickets were given to fighters at this point or at any point from now on, and only a few are left for sale.

- Tomorrow, undercard fighters must be on the van to get a ride to the venue at 5pm, the main card guys after 7pm. They did not mention the venue was across the street when they said they would be left behind if late. To meet your favorite fighters, get to the Holiday Inn across from the Bank United Center early.
