MMA (UFC, Strikeforce, K-1 etc.)
Wondering if anyone is into MMA here? Feel free to talk about favourite fighters, orgs, the sport itself if you practice it and basically anything concerning MMA.
To get the ball rolling, anyone else watching UFC 124 tonight? Thoughts on the GSP vs. Koscheck fight? Been a long time GSP fan and hoping he picks up another win tonight. From past performances he's far more versatile and athletic than Koscheck, and I think he'll have little problem dominating no matter if the fight stays standing up or goes down to the ground. Koscheck made a few comments about how he figured GSP would try to avoid standing up with him and try to take him down, but I can't see GSP avoiding stand up given that he's a fairly good striker himself. That said, I think wherever GSP wants the fight to go, that's where he'll take it give he's likely the UFC's strongest Welterweight. As far as Koscheck, too much talk and fairly mediocre performance, imo, considering the calibre of the majority of fighters he's faced in the past versus those GSP has faced who have been some of them top Welterweights in the organisation. We'll see tonight though! In the spirit of tonight's competition: |

UFC Fan Here
Hey there, I'm a big fan of MMA fighting too. I like several fighters. My favorite is the the Iceman Chuck Liddell. Other favs include Urijah Faber, Forrest Griffin, GSP, and Brock Lesnar, amongst others...
I didn't get a chance to see UFC 124 but I do know how stringently GSP trains for a fight and that dedication is one thing that impresses me most about him. I remember his fights with BJ Penn and BJ's lackadaisical training methods...that's what cost BJ the fights. Until I saw how poor BJ Penn trained for his fight with GSP, I was a fan of his.

I love MMA, and rem the very beginning of it here in the states.
I go far enough back to the Gracie Days. LMAO...........ohhhhhh Im offically an "old fart" I think. I havent kept up with all the new grps & fighters very well. Im most familiar with UFC & K1. I just rearranged my Sat Tv lineup and see that there are a lot on now. So I put those channels in my line up. The other night I watched the Bellator Championship, which I hadnt heard of. Im happy to see how it progressed. I still rem when it was being banned and ran out of most every state. It was being called barbaric. It was being done underground around here, bc there was no venue. It wasnt illegal, just not sanctioned. It drew huge crowds. TX really stepped up to the plate. Its a big deal here in the SA area. I would really like to get into it as a sport. Too old to compete. Hell, who am I kidding, just the workout would prolly kill me. LMAO |

And you're never too old to get into a sport. Even if you can't compete, it's just as fun to train at a club. |
