Why the interest in MMA and cage fighters in bodybuilding circles?

[HowieW]

Maybe I am gettin' old, but a lot of the younger guys in/around the bodybuilding-gym scene seem to be VERY interested in cage fighting??
Don't get me wrong, I think the MMA guys are good athletes, but am not too intersted in it.
I just like bodybuilding.

[240 is Back]

there's a lot of the same fan base. 

cage fighting is explosive and interesting.  and a tad cooler to watch with your friends.

Plus, bodybuilding would benefit greatly from some ring girls!

ain't that the truth. Also the mulatto half breeds who thrive in bbing also love having acceptance in fighting for the enjoyment of white men and gooks

LOL, maybe that is true hehehe.
I am all four the ring girls  

I have trained in a couple gyms where a lot of guys seriously get into MMA /cage fighting. I have gone and watched some I have known from the gym and it was pretty neat.
One was Body Elite in Houma, La. Really hardcore gym with lots of musclehedz, babes, cage fighters , bikers , off shore oil workers, etc. It even had a boxing, sparring area for the guys to go at it.
It actually added to my life by hanging out and training around some of them.
The gym owner would sponser everything from Bikini hotty contests to local cage fights.
They even had "dare to win a pair". I swear to GOD, this was a hot girl/dance -strip off where a girl could win a boob job. It was a fun atmosphere and we all had a ball. They nicknamed me "the professor" and in all modesty I had a good reputation for giving, fair and objective opinions on a variety of topics.
I acted as a pseudo moderator between this gym owner and the promoter of the La NPC one yr.
It is a long story over some dumb crap about photos at the show. I was able to help get them talking and ending the dispute. I miss the ol' gym and plan to stop by again when if I ever visit that area again.

Ok what are you trying to imply about the place I live

C'mon Chuck Lidell is about as male/macho as they come.
I am no huge fan of cage fighting , but they can "throw down" and are in pisser good athletic shape.

Hey, I know his physique is hardly epic, but, would go into a ring with him?
In terms of endurance and quickness and wrestling power, the guys is in great shape.
That is my only pt. Granted I would rather look like a bodybuilder than a fighter, but still I respect his ability in his sport. I also have huge amount of respct for top marathon runners, but sure would not want to look that skinny.

wannabe badass aside, mma fighting and bodybuilding are two polar opposites.

muscly slow unhealthy synthetic oiled up men in thongs competing at who looks prettier on stage for the male judges

or

two scrawny ugly dudes beating the shit out of each other.

ha ha, talk about opposites.

Bluto's been cage fighting for 17 years, all while maintaining an NPC caliber physique.

if the percentage of the mma board geeks who've ever stepped in a ring is the same as the percentage of G&O boarders with sub 15 percent bodyfat, i think i'll sleep well tonight.

Your a pretty experienced 'fighter' though right? 

I thai box and grapple. Have been for years.

How many victims have fallen to the mighty bezerkfury!!!

Cagefighting is a noob term.

A lot of insecure juicers walk around trying to look badass.
They know they can intimidate office workers and children.
They also know they can get their ass kicked and get humiliated by
someone who knows how to fight.

They know they are fake badasses.
Hit them in the face and they close their eyes turning away the face
trying not to cry.

So they are starting to find out how to defend themselves.
I blame spikeTV and tuf.

I love fighting more than anything btw

You know I am,
And you are intimidated by it.
Dont worry, and try to relax a bit.

And I do lose sometimes against better opponents.

You won't stop following me around this board. It's ok, I know you're big on defending yourself from your gimmick Bluto, but I'm pretty terrified of your 17 year cage fighting career. 

How was that Friday night you spent on Getbig, by the way?
