Is it me or UFC is kind of... weird! I mean too many time is the guys hugging each other while there is no action. Some of the matches got a slow pace to it.

Well, being unscripted and allowing most full-contact hits, UFC and Pridefighting are about as close as it gets to a street brawl (minus the wimpy open finger gloves and mouth guards). The only thing UFC doesn't allow is groin and kicks to the head when a guy is down. Everything else is ok.

Rich Franklin (former middleweight UFC champ) had his nose broken in 3 places by knees to the face while in Anderson Silva's Muay Thai clinch. Yep, the camera caught all of it in slo-mo.

Well i agree that with the submissions it becomes kinda boring, but i love to watch it. I loved to do submissions as well and if you understand what they are trying to do its pretty interesting to see.

@ admins bane: Bareknuckle fighting is simply ridiculous. Its pure sensation for those who get a kick from blood splashing around. The rounds are like 30 secs or so? Trust me if i say that when you get a naked fist banged against your jaw or nose a couple times you really dont want to be fighting anymore.

@ lord shar: Is kicking while down forbidden? Did they change the rules then? Last time i saw (a while ago) Wanderlei Silva was knee'ing Shamrock on the head while he was down. Or doesnt that count as a kick?

I used to watch the WWE, but the storylines have became increasingly worse. You can argue that they've always been bad, but before they were never taking very seriously and almost seemed like a massive parody. Now things are just ridiculous and the talent is poor. There's no more gimmicks, just annoying, generic large men.

I've seen a few TNA matches, and while it's still something I don't think I'll ever get back into, it's a massive improvement over the WWE, if those guys get more viewers and a bigger budget, the WWE is in some serious trouble. If they don't just buy them out that is.

Hey,

yeah. I watch WWE off and on now, but you can tell the storyline are for Kids. 8-12 year old kids who don't realize Wrestling to the full extent. The Gimmicks are so bad, it not even worth my time to Laugh at..

Big news.. Stone Cold Steve Austin is coming back to be the special ref between the battle of hair for Donald Trump and Vincent O'Mac. So guess it'll be Omaga vs. Lashley.
