Another addition to my list of things I don't understand: the sudden surge of interest in UFC amongst people who otherwise don't give a shit about sports or pro-wrestling.
i hate wwe. ufc and pride are nothing like it, assuming thats what youre talking about when you say pro wrestling. these guys are going at it for real.
Makes no difference. They're still mooks and it's still dumb.
i think its entertaining, so i guess im just a demographic for these mooks. nevermind the fact that brazilian jiujitsu, boxing and wrestling are all woven pretty deeply into their respective cultures. but, hey, why dont we all just disregard everything that you think is stupid?
it is remarkable that a 44 year-old man can continue to compete at the highest levels with these young men. hes a warrior of high order. im sorry that doesnt impress you at all, but i can understand that you think fighting is dumb.

The Griffin Bonner fight is my favorite fight of all time
And I agree, BOTH Crocop/Silva fights were incredible as was the first Griffin/Bonnar fight. Like Couture once said, MMA is like kinetic chess. There's absolutely no sport more exciting to me. I was hooked from UFC 1. I remember Randy's first appearance and became a fan of his when he took Vitor apart in the early days.
....some kids got so used to being the "punks" or the "goths" or the "freaks" in highschool, that they just held onto their grudge against jocks and people who participate in sports forever and ever. now they still refuse to grow up and still make fun of anything that has to do with athletics, thinking that they're getting one up against the jocks like it's a bad 80s movie about punk rockers or nerds.
.....so that's why you get these kids who don't know anything about MMA and make homophobic comments about it being gay.

i get goose bumps just thinking about that fight. they beat the fuck out of each other like only middle-weight guys can, and neither one would go down. tough. it was one of the best fights ive ever seen. it must have been very difficult to pick a winner. im from abq, went to unm. what part of the city do you live in?

Dude, do you want to save the youth center or not?
