What UFC/Pride/Cage Rage fights can you reccommend for me to watch? I wanna see what all this hype about MMA really is, so if you've got a link to an impressive fight send it my way. Thanks.

I couldn't find any dvd's either. That's why I was asking.

You have to have some vested interest in the bouts to really be passionate about them. But I would recommed Pride DVD's over UFC ones. The guys in Pride are more versatile and they fight more intensely.

Buy the last Pride 33 PPV, and buy the UFC 68 PPV.

But all of MMA can't compete with The Prince.

Ryan Gracie uses a live Rattlesnake as a condom and shoots himself in the leg as opposed to say CroCop (who most see as the ultimate badass) who cries after winning the Openweight Tourney

So again Ryan >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Every other fighter in the world,

If Renzo can’t control the kid, no-one can. The guy is just so badass and he also has a nice beard.

If you’re looking for important/historic fights

Then

Shamrock/Royce
Royce/Saku
Shamrock/Tito (if it wasn’t for this fight, there would be no UFC today)
Bas/Randleman
Griffin/Bonnar (took UFC mainstream)
Fedor/Big Nog
Rickson/Takada
Couture/Sylvia

And **** it, I’ll add Renzo/Saku as a testament to the Gracie’s heart.

Atnan
03-12-2007, 11:09 PM
i agree with most of them

Shamrock/Royce - boring ass fight...wow

Royce/Saku - fun to watch saku whipp gracie`s over-rated ass

Shamrock/Tito (if it wasn’t for this fight, there would be no UFC today) - pretty fun watching shamerock getting ktfo a couple of times

Bas/Randleman - great fight, a smart fan would see how easily bas won that fight...a fool would rule that fight for randleman

Griffin/Bonnar (took UFC mainstream) - one of the sloppiest boxing match in mma! super-over-rated

Fedor/Big Nog - birth of the greatest fighter in history beating at the time, the unbeatable fighter in nog!

Couture/Sylvia - nothing big in my book....sylvia is/was super over-rated along with frank mir, andri arlsolviki...couture exposed that big *****! if u read my ufc 68 pbp, youll see what i really think of the fight

all the fights above did wonders for mma and were all important but i dont think Rickson/Takada was anything speical..i no the dude ^^^ is a rickson fan, but hes more hype than anything and lost to some dude in a sambo/whatever match and acts like he didnt no the rules! lol

Face it, Rickson is an ATG and deep down you love the guy and thought his stuff at Vale Tudo Japan was off the hook, admit it Atnan.

And Rickson/Takada is important because it crossed boundaries with wrestling in Japan which at the time was getting like 30 million viewers a week.

i love rickson my dude....he was a beast, but i mean i really hate the fact that he brags about his supposed 400-0 record when he clearly lost and all the times he got me all happy about him comming back to fight to just forget about it! also hes a ***** for fighting people on a beach
