H*LL YAAA !!!!
I’ve followed the UFC since ‘93
Gracie, Tank Abbot, Shamrock, Severn, Pardoel, Frye, Coleman, Ortiz … etc
It’s hard to beat the early years (UFC 1 thru 5). I fooled around with mixed martial arts off and on in my younger days. I was mostly into boxing and wrestling though.
I kinda lost touch recently - since I now have a toddler and a new born. I caught a few episodes on Spike - not too impressed (please keep the sh*t hardcore)

WHAT?

How could a fan not watch the show? I thought the show was great and the finally between Forrest Griffin & Stephan Bonner was one of the greatest fights in history. Dana White was so impressed he gave both of them contracts!
Speaking of Forest Griffin, did you catch the Pay-Per-View last weekend? Forrest fought Bill “The Butcher” Mahood (who has knocked out every man he has ever beaten) and won with a rear naked choke! Also, Nate Quarry (who never fought on the show because of an ankle injury) took on Shonie “Mr. International” Carter and kicked his ass by winning with a TKO!
Great night for sure as Rich Franklin also became UFC Middleweight Champion when he pummeled Evan Tanner. The winner of that fight also determined which one of them will be a coach on the second season of
The Ultimate Fighter
BTW: I already have tickets for the August 20th fight in Vegas, you gonna be there? Chuck Liddell is fighting Jeremy Horn & Randy Couture is fighting Mike Van Asrdale which should be spectacular and there will be six other fights that have not been announced yet. I’m looking forward to it.
