Amazing How Ultimate Fighting Has Come Back So Fiercely!
 

Man it seemed like the UFC fell off the map for quite some time and thanks to their partnership with SpikeTV they have found new legs. Man everytime I turn on SpikeTV I see something about the UFC.

And I gotta say... I LOVE IT!!!

But I am seeing more and more of the old wrestling marketing becoming evident in the UFC marketing campaigns. All the hype, the lead up to the PPV and old wwf wrestling ploys. They must have hired some old school wrestling promoters to help them get the UFC on the right track for TV.

What do you guys make of it? Love it or hate it?

Its all thanks to the new owners, they revitalized the entire sport (in North America) and partnered with Spike

They also got it back on PPV.

:thumbsup :banana

i miss the old days when it was basically no rules. i don't really watch it anymore.

I love it... as long as they keep it raw, I'l like it. When they sellout, I'l be really pissed :(

I'd much rather return to the days of rome. We have an overpopulated prison system, i say we let the murderers opt to take part in a battle for an audience. Get 100-300 at a time, let them choose their weapon & fight until the last man is standing.

The last man standing would either get applauded or boo'd.....if he gets applauded he lives & gets a 2nd chance at life....if he gets boo'd, he gets executed on the spot.

Now thats entertainment

I used to love those big fat bastards go at it like Tank Abbott. All these new guys are too thin and in shape LOL! I think they are looking to pick up the female audience and gays. ;)

tank was awesome!! same with taktarov (or however you spell it) - fuck he could take a beating and keep going, and gracie was (of course) pretty fucking amazing too.

Its helped a lot in the local mma gyms also. Lots more people want to learn the art of fighting and the mma gyms and personal mma trainers are getting a lot more students.

They have the fights here on a regular basis.

UFC ROCKS! i was never a chick that liked fighting but damn! that shit is the best

Ya, UFC has been hot since The Ultimate Fighter 1 started getting big Nielsen ratings.

I've been watching it for years and I'm addicted. So much action for the $. Fuck a $50 PPV boxing match with maybe 2 good (boring) fights. I'd rather spend $35 to see 8 hardcore battles.

i agree! :D

I'm addicted. I had my Tevo set to record the entire season of the Contender. UFC is ultimate entertainment.

Hey Dh,


A lesser knowed fact here at gfy is that I trained a few ufc fighters myself Drinkinghard. Don't let my small size fool ya. You make reconize this fighter of mine Randy Couture.


Here is a pic of Dan Serverns belt from his glory days! I took the pic at a martial arts expo here in Toronto.






The fact is I never even knew that was Randy couture untill Magnus at GTS told me it was him. hahaha this was at the Webmaster access in LA last month! I owe huge props for Magnus for spotting him and taking the pic! Thank you!

Dwreck, I too have some martial arts training

I am so jealous!

I've seen most of the recent fights and it's all reality entertainment at it's finest.. :thumbsup

I love UFC. Can't wait to go to a live fight! :pimp

yep its good shit, I just love K1 too :thumbsup

You pose so girly on that pic compared to himm man . :winkwink:

Agreed. The "tank" would litterally pound the shit out of guys. Personally, I like that style better. The man didn't even know the meaning of the word submission.....

Always went for the fast and hard KO...

Good stuff.

I hate what it has become. All neutered and HYPE, bring back the old days :2 cents:

The old days were good, it's just too boring 90% of the time these days. I prefer Pride FC where they don't let the fights get boring and take money off your payheck if the fight is not entertaining enough. :)

I love UFC always have. I like to watch any type of fighting really lol

I used to love watchin it when it was real, not staged
