UFC 97

But see, that's just my point. The UFC fails on so many levels that I can't honestly see how it survives! I truly believe it is all hype. Fans love to back certain athletes, their "hero" if you will. (Reminds me of the WWF) They make them out to be the baddest M*F* around, and wait to see what they can do. The few times I've left it on for more than a minute, all I ever see is guys rolling around on the ground like what I would imagine a gay porno would have. Is it fighting? Um, not really. Let's get rid of some of those stupid limitations such as kicking while someone is down, or eye gouging, or testicle punches or biting, pressure points, etc. and then see how fast people would stay away from the wrestling, or ground "game" as they call it. If someone wants to watch good wrestling match, don't certain ESPN channels show college matches?

And on another note, given the beginnings of the UFC and the practices back then, I wouldn't doubt if a lot of matches weren't fixed. Once again, just my

 

It's not just fighting, it's working towards a submission, or a knockout on the ground. Educate yourself before you spout off such nonsense. I'm pretty sure any of those "gay porno" guys could knock your out in thirty seconds by dragging you on the ground and knocking you out cold or ripping your arm off. Try watching it for more then a few minutes to understand what's really going on in the ground game. It's a sport, not professional wrestling.

Ok, you've warranted a response. Lucky for you, Whisp has me all fired up and I don't mind spending some time giving you a reply.

I am about as well "educated" as you might expect one to be one the subject of Martial Arts. I am a former NavSpecWar member, and since getting out of the military I have taught tactical law enforcement officers how to not only defend, but disarm and apprehend the baddies for the past 8 years. When I was first interviewing to get the job of teaching through a recommendation of a few former military members then on the police force, I was asked to give several demonstrations to show what I had to offer to the community. There was another gentleman there looking to pick up work as an instructor, also recommended by some of the cops. Well, he was a MMA Gracie Ju-Jitsu Instructor Qualfied whatever. He asked to have me show him how I would apprehend him. Long story short, went to the ground and I bit a chunk of flesh off the back of his tricep that made him tear up like a little b***h and jump away from me. I welcome someone like that who is trained in "the ground game" to get nice and close so that I can gouge an eye, bite, tear some nuts off...whatever. It is a SPORT and not a real Martial Art and has no practical application in the real world. My cops would do real well on some dark night taking a guy to the ground and wrestling around while one if their buddies came up with a bat and takes their head off. It is a very limited sport, and I find it laughable that people consider these guys such bada**es.

As far as watching more than a few minutes of one of these fights, I have. So once again, before you open up your mouth, understand that there are serious limitations to this form of entertainment. These guys are not warriors. They are wrestlers, plain and simple. I would have no problems going into the ring or "octagon" with one of these guys and I'm sure it wouldn't end in the way you stated. In a true anything goes fight, I would put one of my veteran tactical cops against one of these UFC Stars to win any day, any time.

I'll get into what I know about the early "fixes" of the UFC at a later time.
