Just hours before UFC 104 began, head trainer for AMA Fight Club, Mike Constantino, got word that he along with sponsor NECO.com had some extra tickets to the Staples Center event featuring the headlining bout between champion, Lyoto Machida and Mauricio "Shogun" Rua.
Instead of trying to sell the tickets, Constantino made a call to MMAWeekly.com and asked if any of the fans of our site would like a pair of tickets to the event that night.
The call went out over MMAWeekly's official Twitter page (www.twitter.com/mmaweeklycom) and within a few minutes the responses flooded in for the chance to get tickets to go to the event.
The lucky winners, Brian Ferguson and Kevin Cheek, not only got tickets to UFC 104 that night, but they had the tickets hand delivered to them by UFC middleweight contender, Dan Miller, who along with his coach gave the fans their tickets, posed for pictures and gave the fans autographs.
MMAWeekly would like to say a special thanks to Mike Constantino, Dan Miller, the AMA Fight Club, and NECO.com for taking care of the fans once again with an awesome prize package for UFC 104!

The Nevada State Athletic Commission Wednesday released the agenda for a Nov. 4 tele-meeting to discuss current business.
Two items on the agenda stood out:
1) A request from Houston Alexander for a fight license (all fighters over 35 must do so when their previous license runs out).
2) A request from Zuffa, LLC to hold an MMA event at the Mandalay Bay Events Center on Feb. 6.
Alexander (14-4-1) reportedly announced he'd be fighting Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson at UFC 107 on his Nebraska radio show, and subsequently sealed his lips when the inevitable media calls came in.
UFC president Dana White declined to confirm the match-up at a press conference for UFC 104 last week.
Last month, Alexander secured a future in the UFC--for the meantime--with a victory over Sherman Pendergarst at Adrenaline IV, which is promoted by his manager Monte Cox.
Slice is currently in Miami and commuting to American Top Team for his next fight. He has been mum about his next opponent in media appearances.
