My son Adam and I are huge UFC fans. And when we heard that UFC 'Hall of Famer', Forrest Griffin was coming in to promote Bangor's first UFC experience at the Cross Insurance Center, we couldn't help but have a little fun. Thanks to my son for coming in to help out.

God bless you, Forrest. We are looking forward to August 16 at the Cross Insurance Center.

Tickets for the event are available at crossinsurancecenter.com, 1-800-745-3000, and at the Cross Insurance Center box office on Main St. in Bangor.

Now watch me endure a refined technique called the choke hold:
