It was Father’s Day weekend, and The Big Show had scheduled the most epic fight in their promotion’s history.
Mike’s dad wasn’t a fan of MMA. However, he agreed to go after receiving his son’s call and invitation.
After maneuvering through a sea of people, the two found their seats. The build-up toward the main event seemed to strengthen their usual distance: the bright lights, tens of thousands of fans circling the arena, and all the while they smiled and chatted away.
Each Father’s Day from then on was special, yet that night was etched eternally in their memory.

What a memorable bonding experience! Dad probably remembered a time he gave his own Dad something that wasn’t a high priority item on his wish list.

It’s not the place or event that makes it special so much as it’s the people.

Sometimes, when we least expect it, the experience we thought we’d have to “endure” turns out to be something totally unexpected… in a good way!
