Think about it years before MMA you had to actually know a fighting style, it took years to develop your technique, today it's called MMA and all you need to know is bits and pieces.
It's fucking pathetic.

And don't get me wrong here, some of these guys who I have seen fight would most possible kick my motherloving ass, but I hate it when they make it sound like it's a new way of fighting...it's not new it's called brawling.

I am not a fan nor do I follow MMA fights. I am glad you stated that the guys are legit in terms of fighting ability and to me it seems to be more involved atheltic skill than meere brawling. I sincerely give guys like Chick Lidell their due as real athletes. However, for me, I enjoy reg boxing much more . It is a lot easier to watch the guys since they are not on the floor grappling and most of us find a hard hook or jab easier to relate to.

I bet you're one of those guys that "gets a sense of pride" from their work huh?.

and btw sounds like a great compny you got guys like you logging on getbig refreshing the page and answering questions every 2 seconds

yeah, our stuff works pretty good. Its very rare that something breaks here, but when it does and the shit hits the fan we fix it fast and get back to loungin around. Some days here at the noc we go all day without one alarm going off. We sit around and watch movies or play halo3 on a giant 8 foot screen.....and get paid $80k a year for it.
Upper management knows this and they dont care because when shit happens we get on it like onlyme at old country buffet.
usually its some bullshit.

is anyone watching the ultimate fighter tv show? perfect example of how the sport has gotten out of hand. they will take just about anyone these days. This guy has taken some jiujitsu classes and now he thinks hes a fighter...got snapped on the chin after 3 minutes on the mat...mouth wide open when he got up he was all winded after rolling for 3 minutes, not even really hard grappling either, he was on his back the whole time. Then he got hit with a right hand on the chin. What did he say when he woke up? He had never been knocked out before. You havent been fighting nearly long enough if youve never been knocked out before.

at least the other guy has been training with bj penn for a few years. Ears all tore up...now theres a guy that fights for a living.

MMA isn't lame. The UFC is. They promote the sport to 'tough wannabes' by using heavy metal music and thinking they are 'hardcore'.

When an organisation comes up to rival the UFC without their gimmick crap, they'll take over with more mainstream appeal.

The "gimmick crap" is what has taken UFC mainstream. They had higher pay-per-views than boxing and the WWE last year. I don't know how much more mainstream they can get.

yeah but you see what happens when real fighters like rampage come in...lucky punchers like chuck liddell are getting beat. Pretty boy fags like rich franklin who dont train full time get their nose shoved over an inch an a half...Tim silvia had the heavyweight title for how long?

UFC is bringing in more top competitors now, but you have to kiss dana's ass to get to fight there. Theres plenty of guys outside the UFC that would rock the current champs, but for whatever business politics and bullshit there is they arent fighting there.

Just because rich franklin was born good looking doesnt make him a "pretty boy fag" he's still a badass. And if I remember correctly he's fought outside the ufc? And I don't really like Chuck Liddel but it's kinda rough to call him a lucky puncher wouldn't you think? And I don't think you can count Tim Sylvias losses on more than one hand. And he's had over 20 professional fights.

Seems to me UFC has the best fighters in the world right now.

Tyson was nowhere near as good as Ali. I don't even think Tyson would have beaten Foreman in his prime (who was definitely stronger than Tyson), and Ali let Foreman beat the hell out of him so he would run out of steam. Tyson was only really good against the guys who were terrified of him.

I'll be working this event next Friday, for Showtime. I'll push some of the fighters around and see what happens.

oh please, tim the mainiac was a joke. he was good at being tall and throwing a right hand but thats about it. he a fuckin bouncer. He got banned for steroid use once, and remember when Frank Mir broke his arm? The guy is a fuckin clown. Took randy coming out of retirement to show us all that the heavyweight division sucks balls. Randy should be fighting at 205, even he thinks the heavyweight division is a joke. Thats why you have nobodys like brandon vera coming in getting ppv fights.
give it some time. I hate to say it but i think Brock Lesner could come in there and take the belt. hes a fuckin beast and i cant honestly see anyone beating him.

MMA, in general, is somewhat lame. Not like figure skating or anything, but... While there are some very skilled fighters, many of the "top fighters" have been at it only a few years. Some as little as 2. Take a look at so many of the cast of the TUF series. 2,3,4 years experience, and these are the future stars. It's a low rent pugulist sport. Only one step above "So You Wanna Fight". Although the creme de la creme, guys that have been in combat sports most of their lives, will usually rise to the top, they are greatly outnumbered by bottom feeders. Saying that, I do find it very entertaining, and that's all that really matters.

A Wrestling monster but he looks like shit these days. Not in 'great' shape. He's yet to prove himself. I don't doubt him though hes a badass dude. Scary looking. What was it? 5 time undefeated ncaa champ?

hes been fighting in mma...at about 265 lbs, he beat the shit out of a judo silver medalist in like 65 secs...the guy tapped out from punches to the side of the head. The man hits with enough force to shatter bones.... heres a clip

hes got another fight coming up soon i think nov or dec

MMA is actually much worse than figure skating. Tonya Harding getting that guy to take a tire iron to Nancy Kerrigan's leg was much more intense and brutal than any MMA.

Tonya to Nancy: "Nancy, I'm gonna take you down, make you Tap Out!"

In the ring there are rules.
On the street there are not.

To be good in the ring, and have a career, you must obey the rules.
The means knowing what the rules are.

If you know what the rules are, you can break them at any time.

So, if I'm a professional fighter who trains X hours a day, with lighting quick reflexes, bombs for punches, and never ending stamina...

...and I get in a street fight....

am I going to "obey the rules" or go for the most crippling move I know (that I'm not allowed to do in the ring)?

I submit to you that most fighters would choose option B.

Now, also, take into consideration the fighter's opponent "on the street".

If he's not a professional fighter, no experience...

...what chance does he have against a better conditioned athlete with the strength, reflexes, honed accuracy who does nothing but train for one on one combat?

I would say that probability favors the fighter, but there is always a puncher's chance.

Ive seen lots of karate guys get their asses handed to them in street fights, but a top UFC guy would not have any problems who so ever winning 99 % of any street fights they ever got it.
