The Condition of Man Is A Condition of War

Lots of talk here in the Brasilia following the dinner break regarding last night's big UFC fight in which Forrest Griffin defeated Quinton Jackson to take the light heavyweight title. (As reported earlier, Griffin played in today's Main Event and busted out early.)

Over at Table #43, Antonio Esfandiari was explaining to a friend who'd stopped by the bet he'd had on the fight. Nearby, Table #44 had been relatively quiet until one player, overhearing Esfandiari, asked the guy to his right, "Did you see that fight last night?"

"No, I didn't," came the reply. The table settled back into silence.

"I was in a fight last night, though." The table burst into laughter.

No word on whether Esfandiari had action on that one.
