Just met Shannon Briggs

And a very cool guy he was. I was present during an interview he gave, and then had a bit of a chat with him after it.

I was surprised at how humble and super polite he is.

Looks like he`ll be moving into K-1 and possibly MMA in the very near future.

ummm...who the hell is Shannon Briggs???
