Chuck Mindenhall, UFC – At UFC 102 in Portland, Oregon, this past August, Ryan Bader was backstage helping his Arizona Combat Sports teammate Aaron Simpson get ready for Ed Herman. In the same dressing room, not ten feet away, Keith Jardine was readying for his fight with Thiago Silva, slamming his feet into pads held by Trevor Wittman. They walked around each other a dozen times. Both were zeroed in on their tasks at hand, peaceably sharing a small space for a couple of hours—in fact, neither showed the slightest hint that the other even existed.
