I was at a Happy Hour this week and they were showing some Ultimate Fighting on the TVs. OMG, pure brutality. I'm not much into violence, but I couldn't stop watching. There were definitely no girly-men in any of the fights. No scratching, biting or hairpulling. Just a lot of big fist swinging and kicking until one guy went down, then the other would jump on his chest and pummel his face until he was knocked out and the referee has to tare him off. Pure, savage, brutal street fighting. Very few martial artists with any graceful moves. Like I said, it was hard to stop watching this stuff. Anyone else watch these events.

I have been a fan of the UFC for a LONG time... Tito Ortiz,Chuck Liddell, Matt Hughs (from near-by Hillsboro, Illinois and Nick Diaz are my favs....dont really hate anyone except BJ Penn and Ken Shamrock (who used to be one of mu favs, but I feel he has become quite a whiny little bitch..LOL)

I would love to catch a UFC live, but they are never going on when I take my trips to Vegas...I hear they are even more intense when your there. I love what the UFC has become...back in the day, it was somewhat like a circus freak show with 300 pounds guys fighing 130 pount Royce Gracie (and he would still make them tap) Now with the weight classes, they are much better fights in my opinion, and also with the Nevada State Boxing Commishion being apart of all the fights, it makes them legit...

UFC rules....the Pay-per-view this coming weekend should be awesome. Arlovski vs Silvia, Tito Ortiz vs Forrest Griffen, and other....should be awesome...

Also, check out the Ultimate Fighter on Spike on Thursdays...Tito and Shamrock are the Coaches...and they despise each other....should make for awesome TV...LOL
