I reccomend the documentary "Choke" by rickson.

At least these guys fight to show what style is best, and to prove who is the best , not like some of the money hungry greedy d*ck heads you get in boxing these days.
Yes I will do that as soon as I've finished studying the true fighting arts as mastered by Kimbo Slice

Bilbo as much as I respect your opinions on things, you are so far off on the skill set of a Mixed Martial Artist...Grappling is a whole art in itself...Believe me take it from someone who does it, it aint as easy as it looks and is a lot of time and hard work invested just as much if not more than learning to Box .
Don't misunderstand me jtrock I do agree that their is trememdous skill in all martial arts, but the UFC is a bastardisation of all of them. It was clearly invented by a group of young producers and media moguls who wanted to make some quick and easy money cashing on the craze for WWF Wrestling in the US.

It's not a proper sport I don't care what anyone says.

Now proper martial arts on the other hand I agree is very skilful.

Now please excuse my ignorance of MMA versus UFC etc as I really don't know the difference.

All I am talking about is whatever sport it is that has Chuck Lidell as world champ and Tank Abbot as a big star. That is what I am talking about.

If there is a MMA sport seperate from this then I am not passing judgement as I just don't know enough about it but Chuck Lidell is not a professional sportsman.
Bilbs I agree about the UFC, Frankly I dont like it..To me pride fighting is the best brand of MMA cause its alot more cultural to me its like the UFC is like the Minor leagues and the Pro's fight in pride....
