i like the old dudes... shamrock.. gracie... fries.. ect.

GOT MONEY ON LIDDELE.

Don Fry was my favorite 4fun

Chuck will win the rematch.

cant wait to catch that fight with matt huges and st pierrie.

I went to the first elite extreme combat a few weeks back, it was here
in mississippi and was on showtime live. It was awesome, the feature
bout was frank shamrock vs one of the gracies. i can't remember which
one. shamrock got dq'd for kneeing him in the back of the head. They had
the stretcher out for gracie but he managed to walk out on his own. But
the best fight of the night was between 2 women, they stood toe to toe
for 3 rds. It was awesome.

I saw that nut. Those two ladies were crazy. Quite a show. Gracie quit
Shamrock was going to pound him.

I follow the UFC really close, well MMA in general.

A lot of Liddell man love going on here. I'm not big fan of his. With
the recent acquisition of Pride, don't expect him to stay on top. UFC
upper divisions have always been weak.

So who saw Serra beat GSP last weekend? Crazy huh? I'm a fan of GSP but
you can't help be happy for Serra after those odds.

I used to love watching Gracie and Shamrock, all the old boys....old
days, old school. Lost interest when they were trying to shut it down,
all the politics.

ESPN is finally warming up to the UFC. It's been a slow death for
Boxing but I think the media outlets are finally conceding MMA is the
future. They've started talking about UFC on Sports Center. The main
stream media embracing UFC was the last thing needed really.

I think people are finally realizing that despite how violent it looks,
it's actually a lot safer than boxing. There are no standing 8 counts
in MMA and only 3-5 rounds. A MMA fighter would have to fight over some
10 odd fights to suffer as much potential brain damage as a boxer could
potentially take in just one 10 round bout. After 20 years now, there
are enough statistics to back up what many people already knew. It's
those statistics that are making a lot of people come around (mostly the
various state athletic commissions).

Anybody think Brock Lesnar will be "The Next Big Thing" and have any
kind of real career in MMA?

wow ive followed cro cop for a while and i didnt see that coming...
shocking

It was the Gracie's that ruled the UFC, with there own style of fighting
and the family tree that was growing.
