Last night, in an attempt to bore myself to sleep I decided to learn something new. The I happened upon this webpage the described in detail everything I ever wanted to know (but didn't know that I wanted to know) about Ultimate Fighting. It did an awful job of helping me sleep. I found myself.... ACTUALLY INTERESTED. wow. I read through the history then the rules and I even know who Tito Oriz is now. Dang. Now that I have seen the 2-D version I would like to go to vegas and see it all play out in 3-D. Is that weird? It sounds cool. A very interesting 'sport' indeed. Is it a sport? Who knows. Mixed martial arts, sounds like the way to uber perfection at being disciplined. Don't do just one of the many martial arts practices out there... Try them ALL. At any rate. I now have more information about random topics I can talk about with my... oh wait. nevermind.

Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)
1] What you CAN NOT post.
You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene
You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)
The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!
2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.
This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.
3] Keep the focus.
Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.
4] Behave as you would in a public location.
This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.
5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.
Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.
6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.
Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.
7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.
- PLEASE READ -
Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.
8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)
If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

You will find that I am probably the only poster here that is hardcore avid fan of Ultimate Fighting Championships and Pride Fighting Championships. I have been an avid fan since the early days of UFC back when there were 'no rules' and the dominance of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was established against other styles. Then as the sport grew rules were introduced and you had to be cross trained, you couldn't just fight with one style, you had to train in both striking and grappling.
I was in Vegas at the MGM last Novermber for UFC as well as this June during my 21st birthday, in Vegas for UFC. It is simply the best. It transcends boxing and wrestling and takes the sport of Mixed Martial Arts to extravagant heights.
Tito Ortiz is from Huntington Beach, and he just got his ass handed to him by Randy Couture. I was in Vegas in June when Chuck Liddell fought Randy Couture, the winner would face Tito, and Randy won, and then he just beat Tito. Last year, in November I saw in Vegas how Tito dismantled the legendary Ken Shamrock, rather old now.
By the way, YES it is a sport. There are many xxxxxxx politicians and soccer moms who try to complain and force legislation to ban the sport. The Nevada Athletic Commission has sanctioned it, as well as the Connecticut I think, and some southern States, but California won't allow it for some stupid reason, so the only place in California where you can see Mixed Martial Arts, is in Soboba Casino, off the 10 east in San Bernardino, and thats King of the Cage, more of a small time league, as opposed to UFC.
Pride FC however is the Superbowl of Mixed Martial Arts, from Japan. You will find that in Japan this sport is the equivalent of a national pastime, with 90000 people crowding the arenas for this event.
So yes, it is a sport with its rules and regulations. By the way, more people have died in Boxing than in this sport even when it did not have rules. The simple mechanics of this sport doesn't limit getting hit only to the head, instead you can get hit in your legs, stomach, and the head and any other part of the body, except for the groin area, not to mention that you can also win by a variety of submissions, holds and chokes, and make your opponent tap out. People who complain about the "violence" of this sport need to be killed. The fake WWE crap is far more violent than this.Achkerov kute.

If you are there, perhaps you can show me around and maybe I can sign up, since my membership with Bally's is expiring those xxxxxxxs overcharge me. I really need to get back in shape after my finals, which thank god, end today. I would really be down to start training. I just have a Judo base since I trained for about two years with Gokor, but Judo isn't enough. By the way, did you see Karo Parisyan in the latest UFC? Wasn't he just the xxxx?
Folks, here is Antonio Nogeuira slapping an arm bar on the ever dangerous Mirko Cro-Cop.Achkerov kute.
