Title: Is UFC ruining America's youth?
Post by: dragonheart on April 08, 2007, 09:55:04 AM
I think it is. I see so many 160lb UFC wannabes all over the place and they all look the same. Shaved head, goatee, tattoos, tapout jacket w/ hoody pulled over their head, wifebeater and they think they are hardcore. This is a new trend like emo or goth, only much more annoying. Everyone is a cage fighter these days it seems.

The other night I was at the gym doing my cardio walking on a treadmill, and one of the aforementioned wannabes got on the treadmill next to me. He starts jogging, and about every 30 seconds he shadow boxes while jogging. It looked so fucking gay, and you could just tell he thought he was a badass. I slapped him in the back of the head and told him to knock it off, and he leaves and goes to the other side of the cardio area and proceeds to do the same thing but on an eliptical machine, pausing to get off the machine and shadow box the wall, then get back on. Such a poser, I knew he wouldnt do shit.

I see people like this everyday around here, and its annoying as shit. Id much rather see an emo or goth than one of these fags who are all image, and in reality cant fight for shit or they would do something

Real figters I have met do not act like that.  It's just the guys that watch The Ultimate Fighter Reality show on Spike that think they can beat Chuck or Randy that act like this.  Most of them have no idea how the real champs carry themselves in public.  Just because they see the fighters warming up in the back before a fight wearing hoodies and shadow boxing, these little wannabees assume that the real fighters walk around like that all the time.

My band played a country club last night - half the place was a rock club, half was a sports bar, then when the sports end, they open the place up for the band.

There was a UFC fight last night, and it was pretty funny.  College kids showed up of course, to drink and be merry.  but you had some kids waering plastic sweatsuits, taking notes, etc.  Looking all serious and focused.  They were upset the fight ended quickly.

Brutally Fierce Stage Presence!

Yeah, the tapout jokers.  If you're 155lbs, we know, you're a fighter.  Consolation prize for not being jacked.  Trust me, fighting comes in real handy...in 4th grade.  In the real world, tough guys go to jail and get butt rammed every time they kick someones ass.  Regardless of how you do in a fight, in a few years, you'll get nailed so many times you're clinically retarded....good career move..hahah
I will say, it is the most primal form of competition.  If I entered one of these and lost, I'd claim I was natural and the other guy was on gear...haha

UFC is so gay, half the time its just two almost naked guys rolling around the floor wiht their legs tight around eachothers waists and their faces like two inches apart.

Now i know BB can get a little gay, but there aint no contact. (DA excluded)

Personally I enjoy the training, it's fun to spar with my buddies, they usually like having someone my size to practice against and it's a great way to learn some cool moves. On the other hand though, i wouldn't walk around calling myself a fighter. I see these kids. They stand in front of a mirror and think they have the image to be a pro fighter cuz of the way their neck looks or cuz of how cool they lok in a Full Contact Fighter t-shirt. Image is nothing!!! I wanna pound all of those kids.

I'd have to disagree, too. PRIDE seems pretty thin - a few standouts, but lots of scrubs. Where washed-up UFCers like Baroni and Belfort go to find new life.

Where Tito will be shortly.

The owners of the UFC just bought Pride. Pride will now be the Fertitta's Japanese expansion plan. They've taken Nogueira for UFC, and already have CroCop. Anyway, there is no longer a "UFC > Pride" fictional fan-made competition.

I'll actually watch Pride or K1 occassionally if they are on TV and I don't have some football, baseball or basketball on to watch.

From my very, very green viewpoint, it looks to me like a solid leg strike is far more devestating when it comes to knockout power than a hand strike.  Could be wrong but it just seems that way when watching.

Its not UFC but the exposuer it gets. There has been young people and fighting since the day Adams son knocked out Moses son for giving him the stink eye. The era we live in supports the "tough guy" style more now then ever. Its the music the tv and everything entertainment. People are not taught respect or respect for adults. everybody is worried about little johnny's self esteam and not that little johnny is a asshole. Take the fathers out of the home and nobody is around to smack little johnny and tell him to pull his fucking pants up and go to school and quit laying around the house. So you get a bunch of posers that watch UFC and take a class or two at the local gym and now there MMA fighters. If that was the case you could go to the store buy a gun and become a world class shooter. Until we get to the point that its "Uncool" to act that way were just going to breed more and more. Sad really.
