UFC OK....I'm into it!

Richo · Jun 23, 2011

Hey guys,

Had a (3rd) knee recon recently which had me off work for 4 weeks! Not much to do except rehab and watch foxtel so I have JUST started watching UFC 6 & UFC 7 plus what ever UFC fights have been shown. Man I gotta tell ya I'm hooked!

Up until now I have been a pure boxing fan due to my boxing background through my dad but this UFC & MMA stuff can be exciting to watch! Not sure if i'll be busting any boxes but I thought I'd let you all know I understand why you get into this.....it's awesome!

I was the same mate. I now own all seasons of TUF and get every UFC pay per view. Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Don't worry I'll be getting a UFC pay per view very soon!

What I liked most is that it isn't just two guys bashing the sh*t out of each other (although they do achieve that), it's a very technical fight!

I'll be watching all the re-runs from now on........As far as the UFC Series in the house, what number is that up to?

At this early stage I like Matt Sera and Rampage Jackson!

Two pretty good fighters to start off with.

Another strength of the UFC that boxing doesn't have, is that they go to great lengths to let you get to know the fighters. Through things like The Ultimate Fighter, PPV previews and even the commentary during the events, you really get a sense of who these people are and what they're about. Often all the way down to the undercard.

its the maddest sport i started training mma just over 15months ago i train at absolute mma in exhibition st in melbourne, im now a blue belt in brazillian ju jitsu and i can tell you already its helped me out in a few situations especially against boxers who think that punching is the be all of everything they dont like submissions to much lol but when i first statred i knew nothing just from watching the ufc and 15 months later ive already had a training session with forrest griffin he came to our gym for a private lesson it was awesome just to roll on the mat with someone that good was a amazing feeling ive posted some pics blow you should seriously think about training mate the more you do the more you'll understand the ufc better
all the best

Cool post Adam! Forrest Griffin is awesome!

So far I have watched (In this order) Ultimate Fighter Season 6, 7, 8, 9, 1 and I am now in the Middle of Season 2!

Is it just me or does anyone else think Matt Hughes is a d*ck?

Haha, yer...a lot of people think that. I got hooked when i watched TUF Season 1. Basically by getting to know the personalities of the fighters I then had an intereset in watching the actual PPV's. I've seen all 13 seasons of TUF and have every single PPV on the PC. Started at 52 (because that is when Season 1 of TUF finished). Since then i've gone back and started the earlier ones that i missed (currently up to 33 which is a few PPVs after Zuffa bought the UFC)

UFC OK....I'm into it!
