If you're coming into these fights blind, that's awesome. You've got some good watching ahead of you.

Completely blind. I actually remember watching bits and pieces of The Ultimate Fighter years ago but never really paid it any proper attention. Over the years I've seen bits and pieces of different fights too but again never really paid them any attention. This time I actually want to watch though and Lesnar's recent bouts against Cena and HHH in WWE are the reason why. His style made me want to check the real thing out and so far I'm intrigued to say the least lol. I'm looking forward to working my way through the list. It's always fun to delve into something new.

The great thing about Brocks fights is he always brought that 'big-fight atmosphere' with him, no one was on the fence, everyone either wanted him to win or, more likely, wanted to see him humiliated, the Carwin one is my favourite of all.
Also when you get to Brock/Mir 2, make sure to look up a bit of the build-up and aftermath too.

Happy watching dude, you got some great recommends last few pages and once you get a taste for this stuff its highly addictive.

I loved Brock/Mir 2. It was amazing to see Brock just beast fuck him. That fight proved that sometimes all the technique in the world still can't save you from a really pissed off gorilla.

Just incase you missed my post, I'll repost it. I saw your posts way back and posted this way too late so you may have missed it. But yeah check out all of the other members suggested fights as well and watch Lesnar's fights since you're coming or crossing over if you will from being a wrestling fan. Try and watch the build up to Lesnar/Mir 2.

Here's the repost:


Also, if you haven't already, you may want to watch some of the early Ultimate Fighters. Even though 'TUF' is nowhere near as good as it used to be. TUF 1 up until 6 were actually really good and quite a lot of the fighters are still in the UFC. It'll give you a general idea of who they are, where they come from and you can get a feeling for the coaches to.

If you don't know already, TUF (The Ultimate Fighter) is a reality based television program created by the UFC. It's basically a tournament and 16 fighters have to live under one roof and fight every week for a 6 figure contract with the UFC.

Also have a look at some Pride Fighting Championship highlights on Youtube, you won't be disappointed.

Plus check out Pride - Decade (a documentary on Pride Fighting Championshhips), one of the best MMA docs to date. Will give you a really good look at some of the most dominating and best fighters in MMA and UFC - Beyond The Glory (UFC doc) that tells you about the early days of the UFC and how far it has come.

A couple other fights to check out:

Big Nog vs. Randy Couture
Shogun Rua vs. Lil' Nog
Mark Hunt vs. Tsuyoshi Kosaka
Mark Hunt vs. Yosuke Nishijima
Korean Zombie vs. Leonard Garcia (1st fight in WEC)
Don Frye vs. Yoshihiro Takayama
James Thompson vs. Kazuyuki Fujita
Melvin Manhoef vs. Cyborg
Kazushi Sakuraba vs. Kestutis Smirnovas
Cheick Kongo vs. Pat Barry
Don Frye vs. Ken Shamrock

I think everyone else covered quite a lot of the other best fights to watch.

Also, here are a couple cool GIF's.

Anyways, in other news...

You guys hear Dana White has a major announcement and it could be coming this week?

It's already rumored that Strikeforce is going to be nomore and all fighters will enter the UFC (front row Brian, who is normally legit). I'm hoping this is true... Womans MMA in the UFC.. Melendez, Mousasi, Noons, Rockhold, Lawler, Feijao, Villante, return of Nate Marquardt etc. can't wait.

Mayhem has officially lost it:

He needs some help. I like Mayhem a lot, he's a really smart guy and a surprisingly good writer. And he got really unlucky with his two fights in the UFC with injuries etc. Mayhem has always been an emotional, nutty guy though and him going off the tracks into the woods like this doesn't surprise me. I was hoping he'd take some time off and heal and regroup and then make his way back into the UFC and maybe he still will but it doesn't look like it's anytime soon and he isn't young by the sport's standards.

Holy shit that was really tough to watch, Mayhems gone full retard. Though Ariel handled it well
"this is not Andy Kaufman!"

Poor Mayhem, underneath all the wackiness he always seemed a good hearted dude, hope he gets some help before this gets any worse.

If I was Ariel, I would have been shitting bricks right there. I find that type of shit extremely scary.
