anyone here like ufc, wec, affliction ect.?

**Dudebro** · 02-06-2009, 02:43 AM

I do. Nothing better than watching tough guys knock each other out. Well, seeing a tough guy tap out is cool too.

**Slime Slayer** · 02-06-2009, 09:03 AM

nice, are you following the greased up gsp stuff? didnt he decimate bj penn awsomely? (im a gsp nuthugger)
ultimate fight night live tommorrow

**jim5cents** · 02-06-2009, 10:08 AM

casual ufc fan, i'm not going to buy any of the pay-per-views. if it is on spike and i'm channel surfing, i'll watch.

i really tuned out of it for a long time, i was 11 or 12 when ken shamrock and royce gracie had their "superfight", that was gracie tied shamrock up and went to ground in the first 20 seconds and stayed their for 30 minutes...so boring, it wasn't until chuck lidell started making ufc mainstream that i started to take notice again.

**Slime Slayer** · 02-06-2009, 11:33 AM

yeah i was turned off for the same reason as you at first, but the sport has developped alot since then, its really a whole new game these days, also if you dont want to spring for the ppv events justin.tv always streams them live. tommorrows event is free on spike.

edit: liddells a douch

**McNasty616** · 02-06-2009, 12:53 PM

Most of the good fights are always on ppv

But that's what youtube's for

**Slime Slayer** · 02-06-2009, 01:53 PM

ill always try my hardest to see it live, its just not the same if im not saying the same thing as joe rogan at the exact same time

i'll totally agree with that, but i'll give credit where credit is due, he was the big name champion that ufc needed 2 or 3 years to help thrust the sport into the spotlight.

note:tito ortiz is also a douch, doesn't mean i'm ever going to pick a fight with either one of them.

**Slime Slayer** · 02-06-2009, 03:39 PM

yeah, titos personality is very douchy, with chuck its more his fighting style, he was awsome with his power punches, until the rest of the weight class started to outrank him in every other category

**Winnebagel** · 02-06-2009, 06:57 PM

In the past I have always been a mega boxing fan, but with the sad state of the sweet science these days, I have been starting to pay more attention to MMA. I catch it when I can (mostly in passing) but I like what I see. Call me a barbarian, but I like it when the ladies beat on each other in MMA too.

**jim5cents** · 02-06-2009, 08:17 PM

nothing barbaric about that...if only they would fight with coconut cream pies

I was thinking a bit more about Jello, but whatever works.

Very true Dudebro. I think a lot of people were stunned when Brock took out Couture so easily. I just wish he could have found a way to hit Randy with a folding chair when the ref wasn't looking.

**Dudebro** · 02-06-2009, 10:29 PM

I understand what you're saying but I hate how it always goes back to Brock being in WWE. Yeah he was a wrestler but he was an acomplished fighter before that too.
He's huge, scary and laughs at pain, that equals awesome.

I hear you. I was just joking. In actuality Brock was a very good wrestler on the college scene before he went to the WWE. I remember reading an interview with him prior to his going into WWE and he said he had no interest in prowrestling because he wanted to do football or another team sport. I guess he gave in because Vince McMahon waved a huge paycheck under his nose. Believe me anyone who has seen Brock in action should know there is more to him than entertainment. Thought I do find it entertaining to see his destroy another man.

**Dudebro** · 02-06-2009, 11:45 PM

If I remember right Brock tried football before and after WWE and was injured both times(second time was a motorcycle accident).
Funny he seems to get more hurt when he's not fighting.

**DoctorRyanB1** · 02-06-2009, 11:56 PM

I'm a pro wrestling fan who always loved seeing Lesner wrestle. He gave a lot to the sport the short time he was there. But I think his career in UFC will be his legacy.

**Dudebro** · 02-07-2009, 01:40 AM

Yeah Brock was the man in WWE. His fights vs Kurt Angle are my all time favorites.

**jim5cents** · 02-07-2009, 09:43 AM

ncaa wrestling champion to be specific before his professional career.

it is my understanding that he tried out for pro teams, might have even signed with someone, i'm not sure. i saw an interview with him on E:60, he basically said that he was pretty immature, blew through the mcmahon money, he drives a little subcompact now, it is pretty funny to watch lesler get in and out of it.

**Slime Slayer** · 02-07-2009, 06:46 PM

lesnar quit wwe because he couldnt handle the lifestyle, wrestling teared him to shreds, he says he doesnt even remember his 2 years in the wwe.
in mma though he is an absolute monster, by far the physically strongest man in all of mma.

He is truly a beast! When he connects with a punch it looks like he is hitting the other dude with a sledge hammer.

broke heath herrings orbital bone with that first punch that sent herring summersaulting accross the octogon

Yeah that was ridiculous! It's kind of nice to see that freakish frame of his put to better use than just F5'ing guys onto chairs. I think Brock will be a force to be reckoned with for awhile.

**Slime Slayer** · 02-20-2009, 12:45 AM

undoubtedly, i cant wait for him to get his hands on mir for round 2, he was just "donkey konging" him at the first fight, before he made a rookie mistake, cant see that happening again. i cant imagine the guy who would be able to beat him, my money would be sooner on brock being release from the ufc for killing somebody (not really though, just an exagerated point... i hope)

**jim5cents** · 02-20-2009, 09:14 AM

let say a couple of years down the road...the popularity of mma starts to go on the downslide, do you think dana white starts with publicity stunts to gain interest, such as 2v2 or battle royales. would that be awesome or no? discuss.
