Im like MS, I don't like all the whoring out of the merch and all the pre fight build up but I do enjoy the strategy of a fight.
I like how sometimes someone looks on the verge of defeat but the other guy makes a tiny mistake and they end up in a choke hold tapping out. Its human chess to put it in a cliche way that I enjoy watching.

Ever since they started having the reality shows the UFC has been taking off

Thats what made it mainstream again. People thought it was still some barbaric cockfighting shit for awhile after it changed and they needed that to prove us all wrong.

It's much more of a professional sport now. The way the fights used to be people could have killed eachother left and right even if the ref was on top of things. Now don't get me wrong people could still be injured seriously but it's more tamed now

Yeah dude. I know everyone here remembers when UFC first started in the 90s. That only had so much staying power. But th reason for the lack of rules was because they thought if they implemented rules that they would limit someones fighting style because back then it was each dude only had one fighting style.

Well the hype begins now I guess. Just read that Brock's next fight is against Randy Coture for the heavyweight belt.
Brock got a monster push already!

I'd fancy Brock against old man Couture.

I think Dana just wants the belt off Randy and thinks Brock has some solid ground game.

This could be a monster killing in publicity for UFC if Brock somehow pulls this one off.
I've heard he's grown in each fight, but to beat a UFC legend? I dunno. He might get a lucky knockout, but Couture knows enough tricks to keep himself safe.

Dude, even guys like us have a small chance of taking out Randy. I think Randy wins but Brock is getting the fight because of his name.

Royce Gracie used to choke people out with his Karate Gi! lol It was funny though seeing the big biker dude fight a skinny karate gook and the gook would always kick the bikers ass

Royce wasn't a gook he was a brazilian street fighter in a gook gi.

Oh I know Royce was Brazilian. I was just saying that the typical little gook match vs the big biker was always funny
