Being born and raised in Santa Barbara, knowing and meeting famous people is pretty normal here. He is 4 years older than me but I am friends with a lot of people that grew up with Chuck Liddell, his mom was my elementary school teacher as well. I have been to 33 UFC events and 16 of his fights. I was at all the big ones with Randy, Tito, Horn, Babalu and many more.....My first one was UFC 33. Over the years all the boys from Santa Barbara would roll deep and support Chuck.... I have some petty cool pictures... here is one with me and Tim Sylvia this is at UFC 51

This is me and Babalu after Chuck beat the shit out of him. Babalu hung out with everyone after that fight and got drunk with Chuck's whole crew. It was a crazy night! His face was beat to hell..This was after UFC 62

 

[flyingillini]

This was me and Rampage at UFC 71 , he beat Chuck that night. I was rolling hard that night on 2 E pills, my eyes show it, haha

This was 11 years ago in San Francisco, I used to run into Berner a lot on Broadway. He was famous in the Bay area but not like he is now. He has turned his Cookies clothing and weed business into a huge success. Me and the cookie man himself, at a strip club on Broadway.

nah bro i have yet to see a guy with a horseshoe stache besides a dj (Valentino Khan)

i have noticed regular stache's are in. but only certain guys can pull it off, not all. have you ever done anything "different" with your beard/stache
