great way to promote mindless fighting, just in time for Olympics.

Maybe it's just me, but I've watched a few matches myself and most fights have the exact same pattern

1) ding ding ding
2) 2 guys circling around poking long range jabs
3) 2 guys gets closer and then hitting each other randomly
4) 1 guy eventually falls and the other guy rides him & give him a 50 hit combo
5) Blood everywhere
6) Game Over

MMA is fucking retarded. Well.. not the matches themselves, only the Ed Hardy Tap out wearing douche bags that THINK they are fighters trying to get in fights everywhere. The gym I go to is riddled with them. I hate it..

One second I'm working out, next 80% of the guys there stop working out to watch the TV because a fight is on.

using that type of closed minded logic, you can sum up any sport in a few steps. :rolleyes:

awesome!

invader 12-17-2009 03:00 PM

GSP! GSP!

q0192837465 12-17-2009 03:09 PM

lol, so much hate. I have no intention to disrespect, just merely pointing out wut I see.

But 1 thing I really don't get is the obsession over bloodshed. I just don't understand why ppl r so excited to see blood flying everywhere. I mean I'm ok with gore movies and popping ppl's head in GTA. But when real ppl get all cut up & shit, it's just kinda painful to watch. It's just like how North Americans despise chicken fighting from the SE Asia, claiming that it's animal cruelty. Substitute the chicken with human and we get the UFC/MMA, and hell, boxing is pretty much along the same line.

Why can't everyone just get along and go drink bubble tea?

^ grow some balls, it's a fighting sport.

Because chickens/dogs are manipulated to use their fight instincts to kill each other. If you believe dog fighting and MMA are the same then you should consider that this isn't your average backyard fight night with bare knuckles.

These guys train. I don't know if you know what training means, but it involves several months of nutritional, physical and mental preparation with professionals.

MMA is the same as Football, hockey and any other physical contact sport. Just because you're squeamish about blood doesn't mean every MMA fun is lusting after blood.

I agree with most of what you said. Most people will probably not agree with me but aren't these fighters being manipulated, just like chickens & dogs, to use human's fighting instincts to kill each other as well. But in this case they are manipulated by people with money. LoL, i guess that goes with everything else in life too.

Oh well, I guess I'll stay out of this argument & let u guys enjoy :thumbsup:

I've never watched a single UFC match because it doesn't appeal to me but i'm happy for all the local UFC fans.

2) 10 guys circling around poking long range sticks

4) 1 guy eventually falls and the other guy shoots past him & give him a 3 goal combo
5) hats everywhere
6) Game Over


The way you put it, i can change a few words and get hockey. Do you think it's boring too?

a chicken or dog does not make the conscious decision to fight. its more like they're brainwashed into doing it as an instinct. and the ufc a regulated sporting league. not one person has died in the UFC or modern MMA leagues. its not all about trying to kill the guy, tons of fighters use submission tactics that arent intended to kill (armbar for example) to win fights. and if you knock someone out, the fight ends.. you cant go in for the kill (except maybe if you're hendo fighting bisping lol)

CrisQo 12-17-2009 04:38 PM

they better find a worthy opponent for GSP!

Haven't been a fan of UFC since the days of Frank Shamrock. I remember UFC 5 or 6 was supposed to be held at the Agrodome. However, the city disapproved of it because of much negative feedback from parents ( mothers in particular ). It was weird since it's an 18 and over event - it's not like high school kids (under 18) can watch the event. Us kids were watching teh PPV events on the blackboxes...hehe.
