Hey guys I am going to the UFC fan Expo in London tomz. I was just wondering do the fighter sign stuff that you got or do you have to buy there photo for them to sign things?
If there is anything else you guys want to tell me about previous Expo's then that would be nice!

Unfortunately, I don't have any Expo experience. I did go to the meet and greets at UFC 115. The fighters will have 8x10 photos on hand, but they will sign anything you bring them. My friend brought a Jakks UFC Jon Fitch figure for him to sign, and Fitch had no problem signing two items. Enjoy your experience at the Expo, man. You'll have an awesome time!

Hey guys I am going to the UFC fan Expo in London tomz. I was just wondering do the fighter sign stuff that you got or do you have to buy there photo for them to sign things? If there is anything else you guys want to tell me about previous Expo's then that would be nice! I just attended the Boston Expo and here is how it works: There are two different types of autograph sessions, there are UFC Sponsored signings which are at designated times for groups of fighters and they will ONLY sign their promo photo during this time. It doesnt cost anything to get autographs because its all included in the cost of your pass to get into the event. The Second type of autograph sessions are the vendor / exhibit autograph sessions in which a company has a booth at the expo such as Round 5 or Tapout and they have a fighter signing autographs at their booth at a certain time like a 2 hour interval like 1pm to 3pm here in the U.S. During that time you can have the fighter sign anything you want. I got gloves, shirts, figures and magazines signed. Most all fighters will be at vendor booths and UFC sponsored signings throughout the show. A word of advice from my experience, have a marker and items ready at all times because fighters like Chuck Liddell, Shogun etc will walk right by you throughout the show like they are regular fans and you can get their autos way easier by stopping them on the way to the bathroom or while they are hanging out rather than waiting 3 hours like I did for Chuck. The lines form almost 2 hours ahead of time for the really popular fighters so you have to plan it out or you will miss a lot of them. I learned the hard way on day 1 and then went all out day 2 and had a ton of fun. There should be a schedule you can print to see who will be signing wear. Have fun! I hope this helps buddy!
