Just wondering if any of you guys here are into Mixed Martial Arts fighting? I follow UFC and Pride Fighting along with K-1 when you can catch it. i also do Muay Thai (Thai Boxing aka kickboxing) and Wrestle. May be going to Vegas Nov 19 for UFC 56.
 
I like watching them from the couch :) not really into the whole series they have a little too much sissy drama for me but I love to watch the fights, PPV and what they have been having on SpikeTV is pretty sweet.
 
I used to really be into the Ufc. Back when Shamrock, Varlens, Abbot, Severn and the others were fighting. I was a big Shamrock fan and when he left, I did too. More coincidently I guess. I had a old Boss who used to do Ufc, but it was the local UFC chapter, and he was into some sort of Karate I'm not sure which though. I took Boxing for about 6 years but became to busy, but I still hit the bag every few nights.
 
I took Wing Chun, Tai Chi, concepts of jeet kune do & Brazilian ju jitsu over the course of 15 years.....maybe 9 or 10 altogether......the jujitsu was a waste.....I went to the local gracie school and it was just about rolling you through the classes.....I ddin't think I needed to be starting at the beginning when on "rolling" nights I could get alot of the experienced guys down or catch em in an arm bar.....I hate getting hit though....I could never see myself doing any pride fighting.....my roomate Caleb did for a few years until he got his ass handed to him......
Jet how long you doing Muay Thai??
I haven't been to any classes in about 2 years now....I busted my knee and had ACL sugery...got lazy since then.....but I did just order some new parts to get my bike on the trails again.....
 
Been back into Muay Thai for a couple months after a long layoff. I really do it for the work out, it's like nothing else. I flatlined working out at home and needed something different. I have a couple friends from back home that do MMA, one is actually the guy who got Matt Hughes involved in UFC. We all used to mess around fighting but I never took it near as serious as any of them. I may do something with it on down the line, though I'm too old now to do anything really competitive. Probably looking into doing BJJ, but that's down the road, way down the road.
 
I just can't get pissed enough at someone enough to fight unless there's a good reason...I've tried to spar w/ guys to get into it and when they knock me good I just don't have it in me to keep fighting and getting hurt over nothing.......I mean at least get the guy to steal my dinner or something I might have some grudge w/ him.....lol.....I just accepted I wasn't good at it and just stayed in it mostly for the excercise......now I don't even do that.....soon to change though...Muay Thai is brutal...do you ever spar??? I've got friends into it and their sifu/sensei or teacher whatever is just ripped...I call him anatomy chart cause he's got no fat and you can just use him to point out every muscle......more than I ever want....I won't spar w/ them, those shin kicks fuckin kill me.......
 
Ultimate Fighter 2 - Live Finale is on this Saturday for FREE on Spike TV!!!

And all season 2 episodes all day long on Spike TV!!!
 
<~~ Is not into getting his ass kicked.

I am a skinny guy, so allthough I have tried it, it never stuck.
 
I watch it on HD TV every week from the Indian casino in LA.
I'm to much of a puss to let someone hit me, and I'm a lazy fiddlesticks.
 
Hey Eddy you go to LA every week?
Really the key here is... Do unto others as they would do unto you...Except do it first! Actually padded up and your not going 100% plus the adrenaline rush, you really don't feel it too bad. It's a great stress reliever for sure, and makes midsection smaller.

Yeah, head over to UFC.tv and setup your fantasy team, it's free. Might go to UFC56 in Vegas on Nov 19, couple of my buddies from home know Matt Hughes so we might see him after the fight.

Me too, I was really into it when UFC FIRST came out, back when it wasn't so mainstream and they had different fighting styles. Too bad the rules were totally rigged, it's kinda worthless when you have a fighting style that's all about fighting dirty.

But it was nice back then cuz I was doing Kenpo so I was really into that kind of stuff.
 
My grammar was bad in my last post. They have cage fighting in LA at the casino. I sit my fat ass in a chair in front of the HD Plasma and watch it.
 
LOL, I gotcha! I read it as you watch it in the sportsbook at the Indian Casino.

Napolean Dynamite????

"do the chickens have huge talons???"
Eddy I hate getting hit too, but I'd rather know I can at least leave some scars on teh fiddlesticker if I can't stop him....even if I wanted to get into pride fighting hardcore I'd be hated.....I see some of those guys get wrapped up like pretzels w/ a sac in their face.....I'd be bitting the hell out of that dudes jewels.....if I need to fight I don't read rules and it ain't pretty.....I bite, face claw scratches and the whole 9 yards.....I've been jumped by many people and got my ass beat into the ground when i was younger cause I was smaller than everyone but I'd take the beating instead of giving in to whatever someone wanted....you may loose a limb but if you give up your pride before doing it what do you have left????? that sounds soo stupid to a lot of people I know but then alot of people haven't had to do things I've had to do in life to live (I mean living as in being able to get food inyour gut or sleep in a safe place at night).....at one point all I really had was pride and my word......neither has ever been taken away from me.....
 
did you watch all the way to the end of the credits????
the scene that validates all his poop talkin???
 
Napolean is my Hero lmfao he is on bad mother! He would throw a beating on all those Ufc champion guys
