    What's your thought on MMA? Whether it be UFC, WEC, eliteXC, Bodog etc...

    I know a lot of people that don't like it but I want to hear from you!

    Rick


    P.S. I love it!

    Isn't MMA just a posh name for anything goes street brawling?

    No. There are rules to the sport. When it wsa first originated it was pretty much like a street fight inside the cage.

    Since then, rules have been put into effect. It's more technical than just two opponents bashing eachothers face in.

    MMA is the new "Im not fake wrestling".

    But the way I see it you can't really make a career out of it because of the punishment. You can only take so many hits and slams before your brain gives out. Plus they have competition too. Its glorified fight club to me.

    If that were the case I would pay for the pay-per-view every time and not just on the big fights. Hmmmm... Obama V.S Bush

    Not a fan, sorry. I hate fighting of any sort, even in the movies I can't stand the fight scenes, I'd rather have more dialogue, less fist to face.

    I've never been big on any kind of violence. Just not my cup of tea.

    I like it it's cool. I remember as a kid someone showing me one of the Gracie's fighting. I don't remember which one it was but he was one his head and choked the guy out with his feet. But I am a bigger boxing fan then I am MMA.

    I don't like boxing. Once I found MMA I will never go back to boxing or wrestling (real wrestling not WWE) or kickboxing.

    Who's your favorite fighter?

    Mine is Diego Sanchez

    I don't really buy the PPV but I really like Nick Diaz on the showtime one Strikeforce.

    LOL! I have to get into UFC more that is where it is at. I just watched theBrock Vs Cain fight I really thought Lesnar was going to dominate him. Boy was I wrong.

    As did I. I almost droped 20 on the fight but figured I'd rather spend it else where. I'm not a big brock fan but I thought for sure Cain was in for some trouble.

    Turns out big boy Brock can't take a punch.
