I'm not a football fan but ....

[Mint]

I guess most of you guys and gals are into football....unlike me (I don't mind playing it though!). I prefer sport of a more pugilistic ilk (fancy way of saying the word "type"....i love this word!). Introducing MMA! one of the greatest display of human athleticism, will power and the survival instinct. Could be compared with the old days of Rome where the public would gather to see the gladiators fight to their death. Call me violent or alpha male etc but I find it fascinating. I was just wondering if there was anyone into it like me. BTW MMA stands for "Mixed Martial Arts" the most famous example is UFC which stands for "Ultimate Fighting Championship"
Peace.

I am a HUGE fan of the UFC! Who do you follow in the UFC?
They had a big match in the UK recently.

oh, god, you're into that? it's worse than boxing

[strev]

I know, it's weird. I'm a pacifist. I've studied martial arts but for self defence only. It takes a better man to walk away that to fight.
Having said that, I appreciate the skill of the fighters in mixed martial arts.
One thing is for sure, it can be brutal and is not for the squeamish!

Your thoughts?
