Mixed Martial Arts

So, who is into the UFC, Pride etc...
 
I love UFC. I've never seen Pride. I've only gotten to see UFC since it's been free on spike. I used to kickbox, and I was starting to think about getting into the ring, but health problems took me out of the game. I used to love going and seeing live kickboxing matches though. And the great thing about them is that they are a great show, and pretty inexpensive.

Actually, I took some combat grapling classes for a few weeks way back, but I didn't care for the instructor. I didn't realize until my friend who is does judo and Jiu jitsu, told me, but I actually sparred with Joe Stevenson (one of the winners of the second season of Ultimate Fighter) in those classes.

Ok, actually, I was a wrestler in high school, so I didn't like going to my back, and what those "sparring" sessions consisted of was me giving up my back in about ten seconds, and him (or anyone else in that class for that matter) making me tap with a rear naked choke!:1orglaugh

I barely knew him, but Joe Stevenson looks so much more buff than he did back then, it makes me wonder how he made that much of a leap in his physique.

Anyone going to see Liddell at UFC 62? I'm going to 63 at the pond in Anaheim. Georges St. Pierre against Hughes. BTW, Forrest Griffin and Bonnar also are gonna be at UFC 62.

And The Ultimate Fighter 4 and Ultimate Fight Night will be on Aug. 17th on Spike TV.
 
So GSP is finally getting the title shot he's been asking for huh? That should be a hell of a fight. Matt Hughes is incredibly good, but so is GSP! And a rematch between Griffin and Bonnar? Wow! What a night that will be!

Two fights i cannot wait to see Silva Vs. Liddell and Slyvia Vs. Monson. Also, cannot wait to see Rich Franklin fight someone finally... maybe Anderson Silva? Leben got KO'd in like 30 seconds in the 1st from Anderson Silva.
 
GSP already had his shot and it didn`t go to well for him.I just want chuck to get past babalu so he can face silva.He is gonna get fucked up by silva when they fight.I can`t wait for bonnar forrest 2.This will hopefully give the ufc some momentum.Their payperviews haven`t been good latley.
 
:D I'm gonna say what I say to all my friends - ufc looks like a bunch of dudes rolling around humping - or maybe its greek wrestling I dunno - I did martial arts for 15 years - it shouldn't have to come down to that...:1orglaugh

he got lucky with the armbar.... it was at the very last second of the 1st. If only GSP would have held off for another second....

and yes, Bas was awesome.

Oh, how original. I've been listening to that crap since I was wrestling in high school. But let's honestly ask ourselves: Which is more gay? Two men competing in a one on one sport that a lot of people couldn't handle? Or the guys that watch from the side and turn it into so something gay like "two dudes rolling around humping'?

I think the answer is pretty obvious.

i agree and can't wait to see GSP win in the rematch. hughes is so good, though. it'll be an amazing fight.

He's so good he made Royce Gracie look like a bitch.
 
Royce lost bad, i wish that fight went differently.
Sakuraba beat him, too. and a number of other gracies, including Renzo, whom of which is one of my favorite fighters.

does anybody follow or plan to follow the IFL?
im considering goind to see one of their events in sept.
 
Sakuraba = Gracie Hunter for a reason
 
BTW, i want to go to ufc 62 but i dont want to drive. Can u take a bus from san diego to vegas all in one day? or the train? i dont want to stay the night either.

Its not a truly valid alternative, but hey.. its ALWAYS cheaper to order pay per view, bro! ;) Have a friend with a 74 inch and a decent subwoofer for the hard hitting, flesh-smacking SFX?
