i've been a fan of ufc since it first came around when noone knew what it was. done an extensive bit of traing too,even done a few matches myself onna local level. but as with most people i got fat n lazy n stopped trtainig. im tryin to get back in the swing of things though.as far as the wife beating comment. most trained fighters would not stoop to this level of action. true fighters dont like to hurt people who cant defend themselves. once you understand the chess match that is submission grappling, it becomes very exciting to watch. the ufc allows so many different variables as far as punching, takedowns, and submissions that it really is fun to watch. whether you agree with the sport or not, you have to respect these guys for thier heart, courage, and in most cases the sportmanship they show. it is about time these guys got some mainstream media exposure. they deserve it. i judged one of rich franklins fights when he was a local fighter before going to the ufc. its really cool when you see someone you watched and judged as a fighter make it to the top. i also got to roll around with gary "ironbear" myers and jason godsey a few times too. i feel fortunate just to have been tapped out by these guys,lol. they are all nice people, and good human beings, especially godsey, he's a really nice and humble guy. or atleast he used to be. as far as royce goes he is still a fighter and will always be one. although he has certain stipulations to his fights. such as no time limits, and that the referee doesnt stand them back up when thier is a lull in the action when they are on the ground. royce would not dominate like he did when ufc first came to be. fighters now are more well rounded, and are vfersed in the bjj game, and its submissions. although royce will always be remembered as one of the greats of the sport. along with others such as shamrock "both of them", don "the predator" frey, dan severn "who is another really great person", and marco huas. the rules have changed but the spirit of the game remains. long live the u.f.c.
