The band of fighters was playful on the carpet as Guida passed around an In-N-Out Burger paper hat as a photo prop. Joey Villasenor definitely wasn’t shy around the flashing lights, as he struck many different poses for the camera. UFC’s longest-reigning champion, Anderson Silva, strutted onto the carpet dressed in a casual red polo and Marvel Comics flat-billed hat. He was all smiles as he took in the iconic party scene. Silver Star owners Luke and Charis Barrett, of Playboy fame, played host to the knock-out kings. Charis tantalized onlookers with her skin-tight bright white dress with black gladiator stilettos. Sexy DJ Colleen Shannon also sizzled in her barely there pink halter dress.
