I was late to the party, cut my teeth on the ultimate fighter in 2007 whilst on a deployment. I then got a dodgy UFC box dvd set from Vietnam and watched UFC 1 to 75. I feel like I know all these fighters and their journeys. I'm more emotionally invested in UFC than any other sport in the world. Amazing what they have done with it. Bravo

@dogsartandhealth 10 месяцев назад

Things really started taking a turn here. You really start seeing the fundamental foundations of what we know as UFC now. Polished grappling mixed strikes and effective use of changing levels. Not surprisingly seeing Tito, Couture and Rogan make their appearances for the first time. I remember renting these from the video store when they were converted to VHS. Truly the beginning of a new epoch of sports.

I knew about it from when I was young and training in boxing. I would trade boxing instruction for jujitsu and Muay Thai instruction (since I also wrestled in my local inter-mural and in school) just so I would be well rounded in defending myself. But I never competed in mma even after I trained in it specifically, the pay just isn’t good.
