mynameisnobody Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Hello everyone, Wondering if there are any UFC fans in the forum? I’m an avid MMA fan, though the UFC is the pinnacle. There are some tremendous fights tonight, wondering if anyone else is watching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't keep up with it, but I find Joe Rogan's discussions on it fascinating and I always end up watching clips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mynameisnobody Posted November 7, 2021 Author Share Posted November 7, 2021 @GameCzar Joe is tremendous at describing the fight game. Whether you’re new to the sport or are a practitioner, his detailed analysis are on par with the best that’s ever commentated. I’m looking forward to listening to @Cory on his podcast. Maybe, one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudofish Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) I liked early UFC. Gracie vs that sumo wrestler stuff like that. You saw different styles vs each other. Not UFC but I went to high school with Craig Oxley. Here he is getting spun around by Genki lol. Edited November 8, 2021 by sudofish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mynameisnobody Posted November 8, 2021 Author Share Posted November 8, 2021 @sudofish There still is a few different styles. There’s Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai kickboxing, boxing, sambo, and wrestling. The reason there isn’t all those other styles from earlier days (I’ve watched since the 1st UFC PPV), is that those styles simply aren’t effective. The UFC was started by the Gracie’s to display the absolute powerhouse that BJJ is and they succeeded. Currently, the surge of talent is on par with the greatest fighters to have ever lived, omitting the boxing greats, Ali, Tyson, etc. I respect your opinion, but fighters today are not a carbon copy of each other. They train at what is effective. Sumo has no place in the octagon and no Gracie has ever fought a sumo practitioner. The one sumo fighter got his face broken by Keith Hackney who broke his hand on said face. @sudofish The video posted is not UFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon p Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I watch when free. The closest ties I have to it was Seth Petruzelli, the guy who beat Kimbo Slice.(I know it was not UCF) he is best know by the rest of his high school football team as not being a ing to count to two. Plays on two . We get it right we are in the playoffs from the one. Seth went on one. Even through he did make it big time I would not Challenge him he is a nice guy but would kick anyones bottom if they were a mma guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mynameisnobody Posted November 8, 2021 Author Share Posted November 8, 2021 @Brandon p Hahahahahahaha Seth knocking out Kimbo was a gem to the MMA community. Without any training, Kimbo thought he would walk into a sanctioned fight with a trained fighter and win. Also, it must be mentioned, I believe Seth picked up that fight on a weeks notice, maybe even a couple of days. I liked Kimbo for what he did in a backyard, but not against professional fighters. RIP and respect to Kimbo as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP and respect to Kimbo as well. He took the fight that day. Ken Shamrock was supposed to fight kimbo but was hurt. Seth had a fight earlier on the card and moved him from the uncard fight he was supposed to fight in. If we knew he was fighting Kimbo we would have partied. His under card fight was even going to be n tv. We got a call a few hours before telling us he was going to fight Kimbo. I’m not sure about all the stuff he said and them paying him to stay up, I think that was a Dana White thing because they were in talks. He was also on the very first season of Ultimate fighter in Vegas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mynameisnobody Posted November 8, 2021 Author Share Posted November 8, 2021 @Brandon p That all rings a bell, pretty cool that you were in the inside in some fashion. Dana says a lot of things, excellent business man, but sometimes his mouth speaks before his brain thinks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First UFC I ever watched was UFC 67, where Frankie Edgar made his debut. It's tough seeing him now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
