Well you know I'm a fan. I'm sure there are others. Maybe their fingers are broken.
I'm looking forward to UFC 83. Serra vs. GSP. |

Only got into MMA recently. Mostly get to see the Canadian TKO and the British Cage Rage series. Its all rehashed fights so I couldn't comment on the state of current affairs in MMA. Have to say though I prefer the TKO standard boxing ring format as opposed to the UFC octagon. Definetly prefer MMA to boxing.

I like either format but I do prefer the octagon in one respect. With ropes there seems to be a lot of stopping the action to move to the center of the ring.

I keep an eye on the MMA scene, I used to like Pride. But I'm a little out of date at the moment, so I can't comment on the current state of affairs.
I sent you a pm FREAKZILLA5150, hopefully it's still a working link when you read it. |

Do u guys feel Brock has a good chance of making it big in the UFC after being in the WWE where people knew that it is staged?

I'm beginning to worry that MMA is beginning to become flooded with upstart promotions. Additionally, I am not a big fan of Dana White. Having never met him, I get the feeling he is a narcasistic asshole!

Well he proved that someone from, what people call "staged" wrestling, can handle themselves in the UFC if properly trained. Lesnar could have beaten Frank Mir if the the ref hadn't stopped the bout because Lesnar clocked Mir in the back of the head lol. After the match was restarted, Mir went for leg submission and thats all she wrote. But during the contest, Lesnar was just laying him out with punches. Brock should have worked on his grappling game as well then he might have been able to counter the leg lock.

A lot of people get that feeling whether they have met him or not.
