Funny story

Terri Hee and Lori Davis are big fight fans of Brandon Schneider and went to his fight last Friday. The two are even bigger fans of Channing Tatum. While watching the fights, they heard Tatum was in the crowd and went in search of him. They found him and waited in line to get a picture with him. They were all excited when they got the picture and talked about it through most of the fights. It truly had made their day. Then someone burst their bubble and told them that they had not taken a picture with Channing Tatum. Instead they had posed with retired UFC fighter Forrest Griffin. To the girls, Griffin was their Forrest Gump.
