I like the idea and the concept of MMA, but by its own definition, MMA should be a mixture of any and all martial arts, but I don't really see that in competitions. There's a lot of rules that imo, restrict what you can do with the art and converted it to a sport, what with all the rules being in place in a style whose concept shouldn't really have any rules (apart from maybe don't kill each other ).
Sure, that applies to the vast majority of martial arts today (Karate, Judo, TKD, Muay Thai, BJJ) but what MMA has done is simply took techniques from an assortment of the arts I mentioned and simply use them by the book rather than learning how to truly amalgamate techniques from each style into one single form, eventually creating a true mixed martial art. I like to watch it but to me, it's very reminiscent to boxing events, but with kicks and a grapples included. Side note: I tend to think styles like Bujinkan and Jeet Kun Do can be considered real mixed martial arts |

So this seems to be a very old thread but hey I'd thought i'd just check out if there are still any active mm (preferably UFC) fans out there in the forums who are watching the current series of Ultimate fighter on Fox and what up coming UFC events you are looking forward to? I for one can not wait for Jon Jones vs Rashad Evans.

Was very excited for that fight too but apparently the reem had the testosterone level of 15 men lol Question is who will they get to replace him as I just read that the Mir & Cain fight will not be cancelled.
I also look forward to any Jon Jones fight the dude is a legend or at least a legend in the making.

Mixed Martial Arts Discussion (MMA)
This thread is to discuss all aspects of MMA.
A few examples... Do you take part in any type of Martial Arts? Do you watch MMA? What do you think of UFC and its attempt at monopolising the sport - Is this a good or bad thing? Are you exited about any upcoming fights/events? Discuss old fights/events? Individual fighters - who do you rank as best? (Past, present and future) Etc... Anyone else looking forward to UFC 152 on 22/09/12. Jon 'Bones' Jones Vs Vitor Belfort Bones has been getting a lot of stick lately for turning down a fight against Cheal Sonnen - However, I believe he had every right to do so. This may affect his mental state when he fights Belfort. Personally, I hope Belfort wins because I am old fan of his and I know that he can destroy fighters when he brings it! However, I don't see it happening as he may be past his best. That and also that Jones is just too good. The guy is freak of nature and I can't see anyone beating him for a long time. Unless he moves up to heavy weight, where I feel there are many who could. Any comments? Any fights you are looking forward to?
