Where do you guys stand on UFC, or MMA as a whole. I've watched on and off over the last couple of years but I can't be bothered with that shit anymore.
I might watch UFC if it was just fight, then fight, then fight. Instead of pre-match predictable threats by both "I'm so great" fighters. Reality shows. Dana White hanging about in the ring after every match, just so everyone remembers he is there. The absolute whoring by the fighters after the matches, plugging there websites and scrambling to get on as many logo filled t-shirts and caps as possible. Basically I've decided I'm not a fan. I was thinking about looking for the Brock fight to see how it was but I realised I don't care.

Not really cuz if your favorite loses a couple fights they are gone. Its harder to get into than Wrestling!

I watch wrestling for the entertainment. If I wanted to watch real fighting I'd get drunk and go clubbing in Reading.

I've heard about those Reading riots with all those English ruffians. Tut-tut.

I've really learned to love it. I prefer Elite-XC to UFC just because they have (mostly) more exciting fights. I like TUF too. Just something about 31 guys getting they're dreams crushed gets me wet.

The only thing I don't like about real fights is so much hype gets dumped into what only lasts about 2 minutes into the first round sometimes and then you feel gyped

Thats why I don't buy PPVs. Just whatever is on free TV. You can catch the big fights eventually on youtube.

I just don't like any of the fighters. I've watched a fair bit of UFC and MMA and apart from the odd giggle from Rampage I just don't find any of them personable or likable enough for me to root for them. I hate BJ Penn the worst.

I think it's hard to be into a sport when you don't mark out for anyone. There's a guys I like to see fight. I like Chuck Lidell, Matt Hughes is fun to watch but is a fuckin bible beater as I'm sure Naitch saw when he and Matt Serra(who I like to see fight too) were the coaches and Serra said Hughes was a fuckin nut lol. There's a few others. I was actually pissed when I missed Tito Ortiz get floored by Lidell. I give Tito Ortiz credit because he's like the typical heel that one would hate in wwe but instead you hate him for real because it isn't kayfabe. He's really a good psychological fighter if he even makes me hate him

If you guys get Showtime I suggest watching Elite XC. They have a Womens Division and those girls fight so hard for respect that they put on better fights then most men. Its the highlight for me watching MMA. They have a show on CBS on Oct 4 and the main event is Kimbo Slice vs Ken Shamrock.

Is Ken Shamrock just addicted to getting his ass kicked these days?

I think so. Hes lost 5 straight now. All by KO in the first round.

Shamrock was a fighter when MMA had less rules and it was more for street fighters. I think Shamrock is more of a street fighter than an MMA pro. That's why he gets his ass kicked constantly these days

I don't know if street fighter would be what I would use to describe Shamrock. I think MMA just evolved and left him behind. Now you have to know everything back then just one thing. Shamrock is still a legit ground threat.

I hear ya. Street fight isn't the exact term I should be using but Shamrock is definitely not up to par with the younger fighters today and he's too old school
