I can understand watching the sport, but why would you wanna train to be one? Even if you reach the top of the sport, its not that lucrative and seems pretty dangerous.
The other day I met a girl who was a friend of a friend, and when I asked her boyfriend what he did for a living he said "I'm training to be an MMA fighter". I tried my best to hold a straight face.
Now juicing up, slappin on some pro-tan, and stepping on stage in a glitter thong for hundreds of schmoes I can understand. But why MMA?
What says you Getbig?

as lucrative and insane as a carrer it is..while fighting..your experiencing out of this world feelings....
-
i want to be a cagefighter b/c its the closest thing today to being a gladiator in the roman empire
i'd give anything to go back to ancient times to be a gladiator
imagine the adrenaline of fighting (possibly to your death) in the colliseum
in front of a capacity audience breathless in suspense during the fight
then if you win enough you can earn your freedom and be a living legend among the people
and dine with all the great aristocrats
unbelieveable!
-
Because it's a fad and anyone can literally do it. To be good at it is another thing.
-
Why would anyone wanna be an MMA Fighter?
Compensating for small penis. :-X

For as much as I'm around it and how many fighters I train and as much as I corner for my fighters.....I don't get it or understand why they would want to do it either. I like to train MMA because of the conditioning, but for the life of me I don't understand why someone would get into an octagon to beat the shit out of each other :-\

Yeah I thought about being a gladiator and it'd be cool, but they put tigers out on you as well, that shit is fucking scary! I don't wanna go up against a tiger!

MMA is way more exciting and fast paced at the moment too compared to other sports
sorry, but i dont really want to spend 4 hours watching a football game that is only 1 hour of actual action. plus mainstream sports have lost alot of their meaning to me over the years as they get more commercial
fighting has ALWAYS been a part of a culture in some way shape or form
so MMA is not really a fad at all, only some of the aspects like those logo T-shirts and the octagon, etc.
its always been the best way to establish your manhood too
you want my woman, you want my food, you want my land, then take it from me by force!
it dont get no better than that

But how is it any different than being a professional boxer?
I mean with WWE wrestling its truly for entertainment purposes and you are like a fake athlete!
-
Grown men wanting to hug and roll around on the floor with other men.
I don't know, seems kind of gay.
I'd bet the level of latent homosexuality in that sport is beyond belief.

It's a world of difference, I watch boxing and think to myself about the kind of conditioning these guys are in and it's incredible of you think about it. The best stand up guy in MMA couldn't beat the worst professional boxer by a long shot in terms of skill. Also, look at the prize money, if the Pacquio/Mayweather fight would have taken place they both would have stood to make up to $45mil each. The highest MMA fighter in a high profile fight might make $1mil. When I saw the Pacquio fights all I could think about is "where in the hell would I begin to train a someone of that caliber". That being said I stay away from boxers.
When I was helping Jay Silva get ready for his fights, he did his boxing with a guy named Eric Brown, Freddie Roachs #1 trainer, we got an invite to watch a closed session spar and mits with Pacquio at Wild Card and OH MY GOD, I have NEVER seen anyone like Pacquio in my life as far as speed and power goes, honestly one of the highlights of my life as far as sports goes.
BTW, if you look at some of the pics I posted, Eric has been in the corner with us for every fight.

What says you Getbig?
Usually two different paths.
One, is you start early with some kind of traditional MA, and enjoy training Martial Arts, becoming more competitive as you grow and want to test your skills against others. It's like, wow i can finally make some money on something i enjoy and love doing.
Two, you have trained other physical sports earlier and feel you are both strong and tough enough to make an impact. You may not have any TMA-background, but you are no stranger to getting physical/fighting in general, so you give it a try to make some money, and you get to hurt people legally.
It's mostly either those two, either you have a background or you feel you are a physical specimen (tough,strong etc) that can make an impact, or you just plain like to hurt people/like to bang but don't want to get busted doing it.
Some "fighters" though, it feels like they're doing it just because they don't cut it on the football-field etc, easy money.

Why? Because it gives me the power to chocke out Bodybuilders. 8)
It could be this:
1- Some have something to prove to " someone or himself".
2- Money.
3- The thrill "adrenaline". controlling your fear.
4- All of the above.
Some people are born to do those kind of things.
Example how many of you could jump off a plane in the middle of the sea to go to war?
How many of you could disarm a bomb?
-
Well for us wrestlers, after University MMA is the only vessel we have to utilize our wrestling skills and compete. We love competing. And the top guys are all millionairs, and the superstars like Chuck and Randy make close to 10 million a year. Even the low teir UFC guys make more than any IFBB pro.
-
Why would anyone want to be a Firefighter?
Why would anyone want to be a Military Soldier heading to Afghanistan?
Why would anyone want to be a Racecar-driver?
Why would anyone want to be a Chess-player?
Why would anyone want to be a Singer?
etc and so forth.
We all have things we enjoy and that we are good at.
-
Getting money to fight--- What straight, able-bodied, athletic male wouldn't want to make his living that way?
I would love to box or do MMA for a living-- Unfortunetly Im too old, out of shape and don't have the time to train that way.
If you have talent and can make a decent living doing something you enjoy, why not do it?
-
the most pure sport there is, one on one, No weapons, just man vs man. And one leaves the winner and one leaves defeated.
-
It's a ego thing. You can be the toughest man on Earth if you're the champion so to speak and even when you are not you are "tough"...and that is why so many do it. And is it a wonder fighters attract females? To be able to fight is to be fit and to be fit is to survive and to survive is to reproduce. Or something, I don't know. ;D
-

Oh the irony. CHicks are drawn to fighters, even ugly fighters pull some decent tail. Chicks are repulsed by bodybuilders Schmoes are drawn to bodybuilding, go figure ::)

That's a good thought Klaus! It may have something to do with our basic and natural instincts just like seeing big tits and wide hips make us men want to reproduce.
Just something that's programmed in our brain from the start.
I can clearly see the connection:
Tough/Fit -> Survival -> Reproduction, just like it was back in the neanderthal-days.

Nothing is more gay than bodybuilding.

Most MMAers dont care much for the fights, their passion is the training, the sweating, the gliding, the hairy ball sacks in their face while sparing all day and night with their buddys

for most it's a good reason to touch and feel other men half naked bodies while pretending to be manly at the same time.

The real question is:
How many of you could handle the training?
How many of you could be a MMA fighter?
Wanderlei Silva and Minotauro Nogueira training.

No doubt, thats like shit tellling vomit it stinks.
BTW what is the highest achievment in BJJ? For wrestling I would say it is olympic gold, but I dont know whats more prestigious to BJJ, is it ADCC or the bjj worlds, something else? Thanks man.
-
Agreed. They should do bodybuilding instead.
-
I hold a Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do, am a champion powerlifter, and have placed high in bodybuilding competitions. I have competed in MMA, and kicked the snot out of some guys. I am a Warrior and a Warrior never questions why. Only pussies wonder why men fight.

Simple, lost manhood, or trying to reclaim it. Today's Am males are lost, trying to figure out where they belong in American society---which has taken their balls away. So you have anger, angst, pent up frustration. So you fight, and hen try to thumb your nose at the society that has subjegated you, has castrated you.

MMA is for pussies. In prison I've seen guys who would made Fedor run for his life. It's a whole different level inside, a whole different mindset. They fight to survive.

The mecca of nogi competition is ADCC. The top of pure Gi BJJ is the Mundials.
The difference is Gi and NoGI. if you like the pure GI BJJ you will choose IBJJF.
If not yo will go with ADCC.
And depends if you good with GI or without GI.
I prefer no GI.
The ADCC is the most prestigious, due to it's cash prizes and "invite only.
The IBJJF in Brazil is tougher than the PAN-AMS, but as far being more prestigious its a tough call.
NAGA QC = no big deal.
Btw: Got neck?
-
because its fun, just that.Same reason why anyone try to live by doing any sport

It's laughable that some of you still think that big muscles equals better ability to kick someones ass. I weigh 215lbs and routinely get submitted in my BJJ classes by guys that whey 170-175. Sometimes, it's because they have better technique/skills, but usually it's becasue they have better conditioning. The more muscle you carry, the more fatigued you get. And it's not the same kind of fatigue as you get from doing all-out drop sets & super sets or intense endurance events. The best way I can describe it, is that your muscles feel like lead after 3-4 minutes of intense grappling. You can barely move.
Anyone without fighting skills weighing 220+ would be destroyed by an intermediate grappler. Look at the old Kimo vs Royce fight. Kimo outweighed Royce by 70lbs (of muscle) AND was a training fighter. Imagine what Royce could do to Cutler or Coleman ::)
-

You're in your mid twenties. How old is that?

I wrestled 11 years and felt a sense of "pride" but by the looks I was just a skinny "gothic kid" now I play no sports and am technically not an athlete, but now many pounds later I get real pride and respect
Did you ever tangle with The Honky Tonk Man or Wahoo McDaniels during your career?

Well he was already a nationaly ranked Sambo competitor before he went in, but nevertheless you should try and make it to the UFC. With your fighting skills and toughness only found in those who "have been in" Im sure you have what it takes to make it to the top.

You guys don't have a clue what I've been through. Prison ain't a pretty place for panzies like you Mussolini and Gracie "jui jutsi". Have you ever tried to defend yourself against 6 hungry black guerilla members??? what are you going to do? armbar all six of them?? well????
that's what I thought. ::)

When I was inside I took on 10 black guys with shanks at the same time. I didnt have a scratch on me and killed 4 of them and maimed the others permanently. After that I was hired to train other inmates, mainly members of MS13 but occasionally I would trian bloods and crips if the price was right.

Is that so? Why then do all of the rankings have mainly UFC fighters in the top 10? Here is the MMA Consensus Ranking for 2009. Six of the top 10 are UFC fighters:
1 Fedor Emelianenko M-1 Global/Strikeforce
2 Brock Lesnar UFC
3 Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira UFC
4 Frank Mir UFC
5 Junior dos Santos UFC
6 Cain Velasquez UFC
7 Josh Barnett WVR
8 Shane Carwin UFC
9 Brett Rogers Strikeforce
10 Alistair Overeem DREAM/Strikeforce
Fedor's next fight is against Werdum, who does not even make the top ten. If Fedor wants to be considered the best, he should be fighting the best. Until then, he's a paper champ fighting cans...

so your gonna stand behind those rankings as accurate?^^^despite the fact they have fedor at #1?....you cant pick & choose what you want to take from the rankings...If you choose to stand by those rankings as being accurate then you must agree with fedor being at #1....
-
Have Fedor and Overeem ever fought?
-
no...they will be most likely be fighting around may/june...

Who gives a shit about rankings, they always favor the ufc fighters. Sergei K and Aleks E are not even listed so that shows the accuracy ::) Everyone knows Barnett is the second best HW. Barnett and Kharatonov would be amazing fights with Fedor as would Overeem. I admit I want to see Brock fight Fedor more than anything but to say Fedor is afraid of the UFC fighters is absurd. He beat the highest Ranking UFC fighter after Brock twice already.
I think Barnett and Sergei Kharatonov would beat Every UFC fighter including Lesnar and that Overeem and Aleks E would beat them all except for Brock and maybe Carwin.
Fedors last three fights= Sylvia ranked 4 at the time, Arlovski ranked 3 at the time and Rogers ranked 7 at the time. Harldy what I would call cans.
So if Brock fights Nog Mir and Carwin respectivly, would he be fighting cans? Whats the difference between that and Fedors last three? Why the double standard?

People want to be MMA fighters for the same reason people compete in any sport. They want to see how the rank against their fellow man. The adrenaline from raw combat is intense and makes it worthwhile at first however these guys train to keep their adreniline dumps in check as shortly after the high from adreniline you are totally drained which is what they want to avoid in these 15-25 min. matches. These guys are gladiators and they spend hours in the gym and on the mat because they want to be the best and the toughest. Also once a MMA fighter makes it to the big stage it can be very lucrative.

It's easy for Brock to be hyped up as much as he is when his company runs the sport. Let's see...
Brock beats a journeyman, a 45 year old man he outweighs by 60lbs, and Frank Mir who is a legitimate contender, and he is the #2 heavyweight in the world. If he was in Strikeforce and Fedor was in the UFC, Fedor would be considered the greatest fighter who ever lived on every promo the UFC runs and Brock would be the guy who "hasn't beat anyone yet".
Yeah, the guy who hasn't lost in 10 years and has 31 wins is overrated, and Brock is 4-1 as well as the second coming of jesus christ.
::) ::) ::)

But he is afraid of the UFC roster now ( even Nog who he embarassed twice), and when AA and TIm were still in the UFC he was scared to fight them, but since they left they are nothing more than Tomato cans as is everyone who doesnt have a UFC contract ::).

ha ha ha! Sergei K was OWNED by Monson (another UFC reject) in his last fight. And Barnett has failed three steroid tests ::) Is that the best you can come up with? By the way, did you see the Lesnar/Heath fight?

Yes Sergie lost to Monson, a respectable opponent and multiple ADCC champ, it happens so what? Sergia beat Overeem, Werdum, Rizzo and Mike Russow who is every bit the wrestler that Lesnar was and I think he would beat most UFC HW. Frank Mir was owned by Cruz pe de pano, and a LHW Brandon Vera. He was also loosing to Wes Freeking Simms before the DQ and barley beat Dan Christianson.
Yes I saw the HH Lesnar fight and was impressed by Brock. As I said Before I want to see Brock fight Fedor more than anyone.

Are you really going to count those Mir loses ??? The dude was told he might never walk again, let alone fight, after a motorcycle accident crushed his leg. Those fights were after the accident while he was trying to come back. Please ::)

whatever man, he was cleared by the state athletic commisions doctors to fight so they couldnt have been that bad. And his fights with Simms were before the accident as was his bought with Freeman.
The commision wont let you fight for things as minor as a sprain or if your blood pressure is ten points too high so dont kid yourself that it was Mirs injury that lost him those fights. He lost to Cruz because Cruz has far better BJJ than Mir and lost to Vera because he was an inferior striker and turtled when he was hit.

And Mindspin, Roids or no roids if you were a Pride fan you have wanted to see Fedor vs Barnett since 2006 and have already seen Fedor dismantle a prime Nogueira twice. There are lots of good fights outside of the UFC for Fedor and the Strikeforce/Dream HW division is on par withthe UFC HW division IMO, and even if we go by your stats its almost a 60-40 split in the top ten which the exclusion of Sergie K, AA, Aleks ect.
