I have watched that before. Its kinda cool but to me its too 'controlled'. I like the thought of a cage with two dudes fighting for their lives.

K-1 is insane. I actually prefer it over UFC because of the regulations. It takes alot more developed skill than say, endurance or brute force. You see alot more initial kicking and thai clenching which follows into close range knees and combos and thats where dudes can really get hurt. Its intense but UFC also in its own respect is unique because alot of those dudes even tho they train in a specific art they have diffrent backgrounds and prefer diffrent methods of attack. I guess over all I would watch k-1 for the range attacks and ufc to get my submission fix. A little bit of both worlds. It's cool to see more social acceptance of this style over the hollywood martial arts that you see in John Woo flicks because of you do your research muaythai is one of the most simplistic and brutal art forms that has withstood centuries against other forms.

I love UFC. I've been into it for like 5 years. When the show, "The Ultimate Fighter" started, I watched every episode. Maybe I'll audition for TUF 3 or 4.

I thought it was all over when shamrock had him in the reverse ankle lock. Franklin will be the next big thing in UFC you guys wait.

it is called a heel hook

and that fight was a work. Tito put shammie down with a knee that had 10x the impact, and shammie defending 100x better. Not to mention shammie has been fighting for 15+ years and even I know how to defend from the guard better than he did.

there aren't any auditions

they invite you to be in the competition.

[Phaze1ne]

^^^ Actually NO, they don't invite you.

You do have to audition by sending in a videotape of you fighting/training and an interview of yourself. Also, you need to fill out an application.

Bringing this back up. Obviously the UFC is very popular now. And I've also been watching WEC, Pride, and K1 shit every so often. I was going to get UFC 73, but I'm waiting for UFC 74.

I did come across the UFC 73 Payout. Kinda wacked to see the variances.

Sean Sherk is a local MN guy who was recently featured on Spike TVs all access. Watching that made me tired as hell, his training is fucking crazier than anything I've ever seen. And it's depressing to see him, as the current light heavyweight champion, not make as much money as some of the other names.

Wow Sherk is local!? I seen that last bit of his training and damn that is hard. I actually took some techniques and stuff from that All Access. Damn thats cool.
