Fighters choose to fight and can tap out or withdraw any time they want. Animal fighting isn't the same. They're training one aspect of their primal fighting instinct, just like runners train to run fast (like after a prey back in the monkey days). Hell, one can make the argument that in order to be a prosperous businessman one needs to successfully use traits attributed to 'fighting instincts': strategic, dominant, confident, etc. |
hope GSP will be fighting here |

Great a city that cant even handle monster trucks canucks or guns n roses is getting UFC. 2012 is truly upon us. |
From Dana's twitter @danawhite: Vancouver is sanctioned!!! Another one down! Thanks to everyone in vancouver who helped. See you in 2010 |
Fighters get 6 months between fights, and who just fought last week? BJ FUCKING PENN. So six months from now if it's held in June like the reports say, BJ PENN has a chance of being at GM Place. |

In my opinion, MMA is the HEIGHT of ANY physical sport. Can you tell me whats more primal than training your own body to the fullest of its extent? Whats more stupid, training with a metal rod trying to hit a round object the size of your balls into a hole the size of your balls on a field where thousands can live on, or training your own body to its peak where you can dominate someone in a closed arena to a point where they cannot fight back? That is a true sport. And if you actually chose to watch some of these fights, these are not dog fights. They fight with technique, where body size and mass are only part of the equation. Watch the UFC top 100 and you will be able to see how back in UFC 1 and 2 a lanky guy can use jiu jitsu to submit almost anyone who challenged him. It has evolved so much since than with people training in all aspects of sports fighting to create something where you try to balance your style in order to stand up to any kind of opponent in any kind of fighting. And if you tried to understand the sport you will see how much respect a lot of these fighters have. They start out the fight with death in their eyes because this is the ultimate competition: your in a ring by yourself with bare hands fighting someone with no help from teamates and padding, and only your mind and body to protect yourself. When the fight is over the hate is over and they show each other SO much respect for the skill and heart that they showed in a sport where winning means you have ultimately dominated the other person. That's REAL respect and that's why i've grown to love this sport more and more. I'm really glad its finally comming to vancouver, and cant wait to see GSP because he deserves so much respect, and gives so much respect. |
Oh man... if BJ Penn fights in GM place I would be the happiest guy there hahaha. or what about Brock Lesnar's return? ;) I hope we don't end up getting a Fight Night 21 or something.. |
OOOOOOOOOOOOOO |

Watching two people beat up one another doesn't appeal to me, but I'm glad that this is one thing to help offset the unfortunately true stereotype that Vancouver is a No-Fun City. |

BJ Penn or Wanderlei headlining UFC 115 in Vancouver would be awesome. :bowdown::D |

I think the City of Vancouver will be putting a tax on the tickets so they get a cut of the profits. I don't know what the numbers are, but they had a very postive economic impact in Montreal. |
Damn it's about time it was official... here's to hoping it's a big fight |
this is old news dana confirmed at least a month ago |

Heres what i think. I'm not an MMA Fan but its great all the MMA fans get to watch live fights here. i just hope there's no retards that ruin it for the other people. and hopefully |
MMA is pretty hardcore in Vancouver, I bet tickets will be sold out in 1 hour... and if you do get them it will probably be from Craigslist for $300+. |
too many gangsters gonna be at the fights.. i'll watch it at a bar or at home as usual |
WOOOOOOT |
sweet :thumbsup: |
only thing that worries me is to see more people wearing "tapout" or "MMA"... |

You are better off watching fights on tv. Unless you are going to fork out 1k ring side tickets.. Anything else is just a waste of money and you wont be able to see shit. |
