Yeah I watch it! On a channel called Bravo here in the UK we only get highlights though.

Before we get people saying it's barbaric, Not 1 person has died in the UFC compared to other fighting sports.

came back with a trophie ever time I went ;D

You mean they even give a trophy to the people who take last place?   :D ...How much did the UFC offer your friends and if they offer you the same, would you accept?

That's one thing I can't stand in the UFC and now it seems it's in the lower rankings too is people who talk smack about other fighters. Where's the nobility and respect for other fighters gone. I here it all too often with Tito - That guy is so annoying, I never want him to win because he's so arrogant.

PHANTOM - please don't be like all the rest, show respect to your fellow fighters and remain humble if you win. Don't go spouting shit like

"I thought he was going to cry, because when I kicked him in the chest he fell out of the ring and hurt himself Bahahaha!!!"

thats not sportsmanship, you will be respected more if you remain humble.

You don't have to act like this to prove your fighting prowess. Perfect example - Michael Bisping - Nice guy and tough as hell.

Honestly sometimes when i watch build up to fights and fighters are talking smack it really puts me off because they either sound like kids in the playground or a bunch of southern yokles.

Sorry PHANTOM but from your post you came across that way.

It's all about hype Darth_Spud... Almost all of the fighters respect each other.  The UFC is great at promoting fights.  I would rather watch a fight between 2 brutes trash talking then 2 fighters being sweet towards one another.  That's just me though.


Phantom, can't see the pics.

Well it's uncommon in boxing (well over in the UK at least) I just think the sport is exciting enough without lowering the tone with talking shit.

There you guys are! I knew there had to be some of you around...good sh!t PHANTOM, keep it up...wish I could see the pictures but whatever...and Darth_Spud, I hear what your saying about the sh!t talking but in all reality the build up is what makes them their money...not the actual fights...the promotion is what gets people to order the events...the fights could then suck and be one sided but the money has already been made...also if I was fighting a champ...I would say to myself some of the same things these guys say...fighting is 50% physical and 50% mental...they have to mentally tell themselves that the other guy sucks and that they could take him and sometimes that entails sh!t talking out loud...

I guess you didn't hear what he said about Matt Hamill after that fight...a fight which he should have lost but took the win because it was in London... ;)

No I didn't actually, what was said? He's usually refined.

Joe Rogan was giving Bisping his post fight interview in the octagon as usual...and he's flipping out saying everything he did was better and that Matt Hamill was running away from him...when in fact Hamill was beating him in the stand-up and it was Bisping who was running away from him...

I'm not saying it's a big deal...it's just some stupid sh!t talk...I'm just trying to prove that everyone sh!t talks...it's really just part of the whole organization...

Just for the record I'm a Bisping fan, but what's right is right, he lost that fight...but it's that judge Cecil Peoples...worst judge ever in all MMA history... >:(
