I dont like physical contact of the violent kind , far to painful even if you win, however I dont mind some violent physical contact sport with my wife , specially if I get to wear the handcuffs

I prefer watching chess. Slow and deliberate, the anticipation growing as you wait for each move. Patiently waiting, watching, deliberating over every move, it just gets so so so zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

id say a mixture of both/all fighting styles. i used to hate ufc and other violent programs but when u think of it there goin in the ring to get beat up so no reason for me to feel bad for them. plus u guys see the ladies walking around the ufc rings????? id get my ass kicked for an hour for a lil bum jiggle
MMA all the way. Georges St Pierre is awesome. Been watching MMA from when it was first televised. I'm a former Olympic Freestlyle Wrestler and won many matches using finese, speed, skill,and endurance to defeat my opponents. MMA philosophy has a simular tact, where the good fighters excell because they are adept in the knowledge and skill used by training in many deciplines of martial arts. It's not for everyone. For those who understand it...it's a refreshing break from the Don King era of boxing.

strikeforce is pretty good, they match up guys who just go right at it! or if you watched UFC 132 that was actually pretty decent, none of that home-o rubbing eachother on the ground lol

hey man,what you will find is that the wrestlers tend to beat all the other guys nowdays,cuz the understand all the choke holds and soforth,they can takke a punch to the face but as soon as they get you down,they gone.how can you punch when youlocked up.

Im with you two, the grappling is not what we want to see, sometmes you get a good fight(grappling) but most of the time it is basic/luck chock holds or locks, I think any fighter whos martial art does not revolve around grappling should be made to fight standing.

I don't usualy watch none of this sports. When i was younger (i.e. with more time to watch tv), i used to watch K1 and brazilian Vale Tudo (Everything counts). This brazilians went all the way till the end and there was one specific fight that keeps coming to my mind from those days. Try to imagine one guy on the floor, almost KO, with another steading above him beating with his head (already bleeding from several cuts) in his oponent's head (also bleeding) and the referee was looking without speaking. That's just the way that sport (?) is. Nothing better than cards to blow one out to a big KO sometimes, right? Keep in peace with all the teeth
Definetly MMA for me! Its more strategic and less predictable... But of course boxing is still very fun to watch! I would definetly pay to see Mayweather vs. Pacquiao!

hi there first post in the forums btw... im clearly a boxing fan .. i used to see mma (ufc,k1) a lot but went back to the traditional fighting sports.. i think in the ufc the fights are more staged than in any other fighting association.. i can be wrong though
