I think we should have an MMA thread, was going to call it UFC thread but that wouldnt be right I dont think, dunno if anyone on here is into the UFC.
Be good to discuss it with anyone else who has interest in it - or not...........

Instead of asking why there isnt one, he should perhaps have just started one :unsure:
Cripps - June 20, 2008 10:18 PM (GMT)

Back on topic, ive seen a couple of fights involving Ken Shamrock, Brock Lesnar etc but not really a big fan of it.
Brother is though
Arse Bandit - June 20, 2008 10:36 PM (GMT)
Pretty sure Ken Shamrocks retired now, I could be wrong and if he hasnt, then its time he did :lol: Not a fan meself, he coached on The Ultimate Fighter a few series back and came across as a total twat. I think I got into MMA as Shamrocks career was ending so I had'nt seen him fight much.
Was Brock Lesnar the huge guy that came over from wrestling?
Cripps - June 20, 2008 10:38 PM (GMT)
I think he has retired.
The fight i saw him in, he was destroyed by Tito Ortiz i think.
Yup, thats Brock.
Another one has joined from wrestling now, Bobby Lashley, big black guy.
Good to see how he does

Yeah same here, I think he fought Tito at the final of The Ultimate Fighter and got a right kicking, to be fair to him he was pretty gracious in defeat, suprisingly.
Oooh another big, black guy eh, I'll look out for him.

Anyone watching The Ultimate Fighter, 2nd Semi tonight on Bravo?
Look set to be a good fight, thought CB had it in the bag for ages but was suprised by Amir beating Matt Brown so not so sure now.
If you know what happens re who gets booted out tonight for the Limo incident, please DONT tell me!!!!!!
Arse Bandit - June 25, 2008 07:45 PM (GMT)
Well......................? Anyone watch it? No.................?

Oooooh, the more the merrier :clap:
I do enjoy boxing but I have to say that MMA is far more entertaining and enjoyable to watch, I do think that MMA is the way forward and will gradually take over boxing.

I used to think it was real, like wrestling, but it turns out it's fake like boxing...
Arse Bandit - July 5, 2008 01:47 PM (GMT)

Just heard on the radio that Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat) has pissed off a bunch of Americans after he entered a MMA fight as his character "Bruno" and got into the ring with another man, took his clothes off and started kissing him...
:doh:

MY old friend Brock Lesnar will step into the Octagon next Saturday night and I for one am really looking forward to the spectacle.
Brock is a driven competitor and he has been "on himself" every moment since Frank Mir snatched his right leg on February 2 in Las Vegas.
In listening to Brock's comments, it's obvious to me that the very dangerous Heath Herring is going to face a determined animal on August 9.
"I really rushed that fight and made a foolish mistake," Lesnar admitted this week.
“I had Frank Mir in a dominant position and I stood up and fed him a foolish amateur mistake."
But like any great pugilist, Brock learns from his failures.
He vowed to be "a more controlled fighter and a little more relaxed in there. It has to do with putting more time in the gym, trying to polish every aspect of the fight game and trying to better myself every day".
Taking this NCAA heavyweight champion wrestler with a legitimate mean streak in him, and continuing his education about the science of modern day cage fighting, could breed an already-explosive but now more knowledgeable fighter.
UFC might really be looking at The Next Big Thing, as the WWE once billed Brock.
Getting past UFC champion Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira is another story, of course.
Nogueira is on top of his game, at the peak of his skills.
Even those who sing Fedor Emelianenko's praises admit Nogueira has matured into one of the best the MMA fight game has ever seen.
But that doesn't deter Brock, it only makes him more desirous of fighting the champion.
And that, trust me, only makes him far more dangerous.
Brock is motivated by the thought of being a lot better today than he was yesterday. He's inspired to be better tomorrow than he is today.
And he's obsessed to show such progress, that two days from now, tomorrow's improvement will pale by comparison.
“I had a few more months to train," Brock told everyone matter-of-factly on the media call.
“If the Brock Lesnar now was to fight the Brock Lesnar then, I would beat him."
Memo to the Herring Camp: Bring your A-Game. No one likes to lose but Brock hates it more than others. Every day, Brock is improving.
And that's a scary thought.
