    I honestly stop watching MMA because everyone likes it. I use to a watch when it was like UFC 40 when Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock were the main event and it wasn't very often you found someone else who liked it. Now every dumb jock and their mothers like it

    Seems like a horrible reason to stop watching it.

    I got into it through a friend by watching hours on end of Pride videos he'd download. I didn't get into UFC until much later on.

    The caliber of many of the fighters now are high, although quite a few are merely point fighters, which gets annoying at time. But seriously, the popularity of a sport shouldn't stop you from watching an entertaining and strategy-filled sport. JOIN USSSS.

    Meh. Not really. I enjoy Juan Manuel Marquez's fights just as much

    Eh it feels like Manny's fights are the only thing keeping the whole boxing scene alive. That and Floyd Mayweather, Jr. is a bitch.

    I still haven't seen it, yet, but from the sound of things, it seems like a solid event. JZ losing to Josh Thomson kind of sucks, though.


    And, yes, MMA is indeed the shit. What other sport has flying armbars, gogoplatas, and people getting kneed in the face? The fucking face!

    I agree with your agreement. :lol:

    But I digress. He knows if he ever fights Pacquiao he'd go from 41-0 to 41-1.

    Anyone going to UFC 120 this Saturday at the 02 in London? I would have gone but didn't fancy the trip up there. Sexyama V Bisping should be good though, however I'm rooting for Sexyama, which is another reason I didn't want to go as I'd probably get filled in by the meatheads supporting home grown Bisping. The undercard is looking better than the main in some respects too.

    Haha, Sexyama for the win! He's gonna pull a Dan Henderson on him with a flying downward punch to the head and everything.

    Hopefully, Sexyama won't gas out halfway through the fight like he did against Leben.

    Yeah, that was such a shame. I was hoping he could win that fight, but I don't really dislike Leben either, so it wasn't too bad. He has to win this fight though, for his career more than anything.

    Oh fo sho. He has fought alot of nobodies his whole entire career. He barely beat De La Hoya. Hatton is a fucking joke. Manny took two rounds what it took him to do in 10. He RAN against Marquez. No respect for him at all

    He's quote 'not interested in boxing' right now. Meaning he's a fucking chicken wuss.

    And for the reputation of Asian Mixed Martial Artists everywhere.

    For UFC120 main event I'm all for Sexyama. Honestly I hate Bisping. As for the other fights on the card I'm not really that interested. Cheick Kongo is fighting a nobody, and I also dislike Hardy. That guy talks so much shit and is a boring fighter. I can't remember who else is fighting on that card. Mcsweeny fromt he heavyweight TUF season is fighting I think.

    As for Boxing. Fuck Mayweather. Pacman and his camp tried contacting them to discuss the fight and not only did Mayweather not reply, but neither did his camp. People want to argue that Mayweather is too fast and blah blah. Pacman is JUST as fast if not faster. Floyd isn't used to getting hit, and he knows once he steps in that ring with Manny he WILL get hit.

    There's a reason why Mayweather ran off to WWE last year.

    I'm scared of losing, so I'll show up at some fake fighting events instead.

    Yeah he did. He also unintentionally ACTUALLY broke Big Show's nose too. Imagine trying to apologize to Big Show. That's something I would never ever want to do. Ever.

    Yeah, not the most exciting card, but because they're in the UK they feel like they have to litter the card with UK fighters. Makes sense I guess, but it's the contrary for me, my favourite fighters aren't even British. Luckily it's free on Spike in the US and not a regular PPV.
