i didnt always want to be a cage fighter

growing up in the 70s i had never even heard of the ufc before

my first real exposure to fighting was the movie bloodsport in the 80s.

me and my friends who coreograph the fighters moves and sometimes even make pretend our own fights
i still think to this day bloodsport is the best fight movie to this day

i new at that time it was my destiny to fight in the ufc someday

unfortunately i didnt, and my parents didnt have the money for ufc lessons so my dream was put on hold

it was only recently revived at ufc 100. as i've said before brock lesner is the reason i started training in ufc again

it just goes to show that you should never give up on your dream even if you couldnt have it right away

somtimes other things come up first. i got married and was busy working and providing for my wife

sometimes are lives take a different path then we first believed but that different path can still lead to the same dream

Have you seen The Quest?  Also a Van Damme movie, I think it came out in the mid 90s.  It's probably not as good as Blood Sport but the fighting is pretty good.  Lots of unique fighters from around the world pitted against each other.

You do understand that it is mixed martial arts that you train in to become an UFC fighter and you don't train UFC right???

LOL, Van Damminator got in some heavy water over that movie...apparently he ripped off the guy that the movie is based on, plagiarized the guys real life and took all the credit without paying him anything..

Are you sure that's not Bloodsport?  It's based on the story of Frank Dux.

They are both based on stories by Frank Dux, but while Van Damme actually hired and used Dux for bloodsport (as fight choreographer and for the actualy story) he basically took Dux's story for the Quest and put his name on it.

Quote from Wiki:

"with a storyline similar to that of Bloodsport. It was originally penned by Frank Dux. It's a rework of a script Frank Dux wrote entitled "The Kumite", which ended Dux and Van Damme's friendship."
