UFC Fan Expo?
Hey guys... I have seen some people on here that have gone to the UFC Fan Expo. I just wanted your opinion on if I should go to the Fan Expo in Boston or not. It's like 30 mins from me.

If you are any kind of MMA fan at all I would recommend it. I went to the last one in Vegas and it was an experience of a lifetime. Def do it.

Tips would be to focus on getting autographs from sponsor booths, not the UFC autograph stands. The sponsor booths are usually a lot quicker moving and usually allow pictures and extra items to get signed, unlike the UFC sponsored areas. Also take a lot of money because I caught myself spending a lot...haha

I totally agree with this, don't waste your time in the "official" UFC autograph lines. The had security guys pushing you out as fast as they could and the fighters were told not to sign anything but the UFC promo photos. When the fighters were at the sponsor booths, they took time to pose for photos and would sign just about anything.
I brought 6 pair of UFC gloves to have signed (use a Sliver Sharpie), but they also have the gloves on sale at the expo. I would definitely go with a friend or two, as you can save each other's place in line and cover more ground.
But if you live close to Boston, I would definitely recommend going to the expo. All of the fighters were really cool and it was sweet to meet MMA fans from all over the country.

Yes, all the big names were at the Sponsor booths as well as the offical UFC autograph lines. I waited for Forrest in the official line and he was cool enough to sign a glove for me even though security kept saying no. But I saw Forrest at 2-3 different sponsor booths over the 2 days, and it seemed like most guys did both. I got the rest of my autos at the sponsor booths. Just off the top of my head I got Velasquez, Serra, Carwin, Machida, Anderson Silva, Ryan Bader, Frank Mir, Tito Ortiz, Urijah Faber, Roy Nelson (Spike had all the TUF guys), and of course, Arianny
