We just like watching dudes shed blood and seeing who has the ugliest cauliflower ears.

 

This dude:

MMA appeals to me in that it's two meat heads inflicting harm on one another. I like seeing meat heads getting the [expletive] beat out of them

There's nothing better than watching one guy get caught with a right/left hook or a leg kick and the lights go out. Watching them drop like a sack of bricks is very entertaining for some reason.

It's entertaining because they volunteered to do it. Of course, the goal is to not let that happen to you, but you only have a 50/50 shot of it not happening to you. Heck, it's actually less than that. Even though someone is almost always declared a winner, I have seen enough fights to know that sometimes neither guy walks out of the ring as an actual winner. If you need to be in a hospital bed for a couple of weeks and another 6 weeks with a few casts and your cauliflower ear is worse than the other guys, I'm not sure you can really call yourself a winner in any regard outside of the fact you have a fancy belt to wear around your waste now. And you'll probably only keep that belt until the next guy comes along to drop a monster super man punch into your spleen.

I do have a fear of seeing someones arm snap in half or pull a Theisman. Thats not something I want to witness.

I don't have a fear of it, but I've seen some pretty gross bone breaks in football, which I find more gross than most of the stuff I see on MMA.

There are several leg shatters I have seen in soccer that are worse than anything I have seen in MMA. The other sports they just happen at random times when you least expect it. In MMA it feels like it could happen at any given moment.

I can get into boxing. MMA, not so much. That's not to say that I haven't tried but it just doesn't appeal to me. I've gone to BWW a few times when MMA fights are going on and the scene in there is pretty ridiculous. For whatever reason, I can't get into it.

 

Anderson Silva IS ridiculous though.

I'm the opposite. I can't remember the last time I saw a really entertaining boxing match. It's turned into "feint, feint, jab, feint, feint, clutch, separate, repeat" for 12 rounds, and in the lighter weight classes, they can pound on each other all day and never get a KO. BOOO-RRRING

Kimbo sucks. He should have stuck to street fighting.

 

Didn't like Kimbo, but he came off very humble and willing to learn the sport. So I guess in the end I will give him one more shot.

He is basiclly a bigger, stronger, scarier version of Tank Abbott.
