NSW, please, this is a family forum
I tried briefly to get interested in mma, tried to watch some UFC stuff when I was in school (or maybe it was when I wasn't around here much, around when you made this thread and i still had cable) because it's always fun to watch dudes kick the crap out of each other. Without having any idea of what bars to go to, or having any friends to split ppv costs, and having virtually no interest in reality tv, any interest I had fizzled out really quickly. Plus, what little bits of fights I did wind up seeing, mostly ended up being wrestling matches--more dudes rolling around on the floor together, and less actual ass kickings, which I found kind of lame.
That being said, I read through this entire thread, youtubed a handful of clips of some of the stuff discussed in what was apparently the JT and Mofo show (with numb someone, deep, and nsw making guest appearances over the years), and then mostly just watched YouTube clips of GSP wailing on people. I'm never going to follow it, as I can't be bothered to follow any sports for very long without growing disinterested. But that was entertaining and made the last couple nights at work less dull (mainly, I just pictured my partner's face taking the vicious elbows that ended st Pierre's second fight with Hughes and it oddly made me feel less homicidal).
Why I don't punch you.....right in the blow up doll?
edit: never mind. I'm thinking of Henderson vs Jones... probably will never happen nowTwo things I found most interesting while reading this thread:
1) the number of names I recognized. I remember seeing a million commercials for Dan Henderson vs Anderson Silva, amongst other fights. I can't remember what I would have been watching at the time, or where my general dislike of Henderson even came from. But apparently I saw a lot of commercials. And remembered them. No clue what it was about Henderson that rubbed me the wrong way.
2) all the guys that you two wanted to see knocked out, I'm siting here like ya! Beat the crap out of Machida (except the karate kid kick to knock out Couture was pretty sweet). Fuck that Koscheck guy, he's a douche! Or "oh, Nick Diaz wins this one. Let me find clips from another fight where he loses, I'd rather see him lose."
Started watching that fightville documentary jt mentioned on Netflix. Got about 20min left of it before I had to go into work.
Yeah, it was a fantastic card.
Solid card on Fox Sports 1 tonight.
IWasBored said:I don't have anything against Kampmann, but I like Condit. Don't think I'll be able to find a way to watch it though. I really should get cable one of these days.
