Any other MMA fans? I see lots of football, F1, rugby fans etc; but I'm yet to come across many people that are into MMA.
Any takers? 😉
You may need to explain exactly what is it?
Martial Arts - I think of Judo or Karate - it must be something similar
It's all in here, go get a cuppa and a few Jaffa Cakes forst, it's a hefty read! 😀
Wow
Love the fact that rules were introduced to shed the perception of barbarism!!!
Yes mate,
I know its an old post. Never mind lol
I've been into MMA for about 15 - 16 years now since the days of Ken Shamrock and Royce Gracie. I even managed to get the wife into it after making her sit through St Pierre jabbing his way through 5 rounds to beat Koscheck.
Its a shame we're going away on Sunday because the UFC is in Nottingham next Saturday
Slightly deviating from the subject but I was watching wrestling with my youngest and then I got onto the subject of wrestling in the 70s - have a look!!!

He thought it was hilarious
Hands up those that remember watching it on World of Sport on a Saturday afternoon?
ME! ME! ME!
I used to watch the old wrestling wasn't big daddy's name shirley or something?
I seem to remember he retired after landing on another wrestler belly flop style badly and blamed himself for him dying.
I'm showing my age now (and memory for odd facts :unsure: ) but I was only a young lad when I watched this honest!!!

Huge MMA fan for a long time now, watch most events and follow nes readily etc.
I was a mad MMA fan but recently found it getting boring because of the amount of events on the box now a days. Still love watching muay thai and the K1 events though. Buakaws the man
I would love to join in with this thread but you guys appear to be speaking in a different language :whistle:
Ok who can explain Mixed Martial Arts to me in simple terms but so I also understand exactly what muay thai (is it not a green curry), K1 and wing chun are.
enquiring minds would like to know.
Gooner :cheer:

Big Daddy's name was Shirley Crabtree.
When I was a kid wrestling used to be on the TV on Saturday afternoon...it was black and white telly in those days! 🙂 I can remember a wrestler called Mick McManus ....this was before Big Daddy's era...now I really am showing my age! :woohoo:
