Leiting Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I am a fan of MMA. I've noticed in the last year or so I've not gone out of my way to follow smaller promotions with the same fervor. However I would consider myself a fairly well educated fan, who's kept in step with the major goings on of the sport. I certainly get pumped for certain fights, and can at times be a somewhat obnoxious viewing partner for UFC events. Never the less, I will admit that I've noticed fewer and fewer announced fights seem to scintillate my imagination and anticipation as time goes on. However I am admittedly much more of a fan of other sports over MMA. But by in large, I am in no shortage of well educated fans of those other sports to talk about it with - hence my using the internet as a medium for exchange on MMA discussions.

chons Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 My wife and I are very big fans I'd say. I've only been following heavily for the past 3 years. The funny thing is, I was at UFC 28 and don't really remember anything about it other than Gan Mcgee because he was huge. I didn't even know Randy fought until I looked it up a few weeks ago. I trained MMA 3-5 times a week 8 years ago and never even watched any MMA or paid attention. I missed out on a lot of good stuff as it was going on.

classicboxer Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I'm still a big fan, but I'm at the point where I'm looking for Big Fights, and not just any 2 fighters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobo_Vieri Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I train (boxing) twice a week, but never look at boxing fights. Been a mma follower for years, rarely miss an event. I follow most orgs, Bellator, Strikeforce, UFC. Got most Pride DVD's. I'd say I'm a pretty hardcore fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvinj0 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Started out watching kickboxing when I was was about 5, then I started watching every Pride PPV I possibly could, from then on i've been hooked. MMA is the sht, makes other sports look like american football (Popular but insanely lame/boring). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalkLikeAWarrior707 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Very into it, it's part of my everyday life. Started watching around 2008. Been watching every event since about UFC 100. I will take days off work/miss hanging out with friends to watch events. I re-watch past events for entertainment and also to break things down and learn. Started training Muay Thai and BJJ about 2 years ago and now I am a Muay Thai/BJJ instructor for kids. I want to start competing in MMA soon also. I think about MMA and any kind of martial arts everyday. I love it, best/purest sport in the world.

GN_FDU Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 The first option. Realistically, I'd seriously consider not going to an important event just so I can watch UFC/MMA depending on the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I can't watch boxing, K-1 is the only event I can watch because of the leg kicks and all striking arts are down to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horrorfan663 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 First MMA fight I ever saw was Forrest Griffin vs. Stephen Bonnar not when it happened but on a replay. I had caught glimpses of Ring MMA bouts but was turned off by the "boring rolling on the ground" (I was 14 at the time forgive me) Well after I saw Griffin vs Bonnar I was like Holy hell what is this magnificent sport? and I soon found out that it was the same sport that bored me before. The first MMA event i ever watched in full as it was happening was Ortiz vs Shamrock 3 live and free on spike tv. I fell in love with Tito on the spot. Watched a bunch of his older fights and he quickly became my favorite fighter. I was a casual fan at first but when Brock Lesnar burst onto the screen in 08 I basically got hooked and I havent missed an event since. also when I first started watching UFC i hated Pride. Mocked it, thought it was unnecessary and savage to have knees on the ground, stomps, soccer kicks etc. However over the years I have warmed up and now I absolutely love it.
