Yeah, but if no one was choking out, then it would be more about the actual fight, not ones ability to simply choke. If I were in a street fight, I would choke too. The UFC has just conformed due to the lack of truly qualified fighters, same reasons as to why they wear pads on the fists now. I want to see a good bare-knuckle mixed martial arts match without a choke. Choking is cheesy and weak, a sign of lack of talent and over pride. Most choke because they fear a loss so much. If they didn't screw up or fall down, they'd win and not have to worry about the choke.

The choke is for pussies, plain and simple. I take nothing away from those who properly practice martial arts. Take you for example....you haven't trained in how long?? You're still quick and stealthy like, but if I got my phat ass on top and crushed your trachia, all the black belts in the world won't help. I suppose the eye gouge or nut kick is a technical manuver too.

Personally, I don't really care for the UFC. Whenever I hear "and there are no rules!" I usually get turned off to begin with.

The whole point of rules within a sport is to bring out the athleticism within the sport itself. Think about what basketball would be like without any rules...just put the ball in the hoop. Or football? Not much fun, unless you are into Nascar crashes. I can only imagine what it would be like to see Jerry Rice going up to make a catch, only to find some freakshow who has been on a steady diet of raw steak and horse semen punching him in the kidneys.

I guess some people would enjoy that...but I digress.

Boxing was cool because of the different styles of fighters even within a very limited sport. Now, the fighters are pretty much only fighting once every 2 years, and there are 27 different commissions that have their own redneck belt that keeps anyone from being a unified champion.

Oh well...still got football!

The UFC started off with no rules and now I feel there are way too many.
http://www.ufc.tv/index.cfm?fa=LearnUFC.Rules

In particular, I would like to see them bring back headbutts and kicking someone on the ground. The rest of them are decent rules.

A lot of the comments and opinions that people have about the UFC are way outdated and people have no idea what it is all about now. They are now sanctioned by the Nevada sports commission and they had to make a lot of concessions to get that to happen. Primarily, they needed a lot more rules.

Personally, I think the UFC is way better than boxing has ever been. So much more exciting. Boxing is one dimensional - UFC encompasses boxing as well as every other fighting discipline out there. These guys are undisputably (is that a word?) the best fighters on the planet. Boxing, Pride, K-1, and all of the other organizations can't compete and their fighters always lose to UFC fighters.

A lot of people don't like it, but it is here to stay and boxing is going to go the way of the Dodo..

Boxing is just that, boxing. Pride is gay, it just sounds gay. K-1 is not badm and the only reason a UFC fighter wins is with the homo choke, or they just pin the opponent to the ground and wail on his head until the ref wakes up. I think a lot of the criticism would go away if they just a little more action, instead of all the grappling in every match.....

I have watched both, but what is the difference between Pride and K-1?

There was some K-1 on ESPN this weekend and I watched it..

I thought the fighters were pretty good and a few of them had some crazy moves and were fun to watch, but I did have a couple of problems with it..

There wasn't a single knockout, no blood or "damage" done and that made it a little boring. This is was due to the thick gloves and 3 short rounds. There were some great take downs, but then the ref has to stop the fight and stand the fighters up, which wastes a lot of fight time in short rounds. The ring is too small.

I saw Pride not too long ago and I thought that was pretty good, but a couple of problems there too.. Mainly, I hated the fact that they use a ring with ropes because everytime a fight went to the ground, the one on top would push them into the ropes and they would have to stop the fight. And it happened over and over again. I also though the fighters that I saw weren't at the same level.

I watched Japanese K-1 about 10 years ago....I remember it was supposed to be a combination of everything that starts with K.

Karate, Kicking, Kung-Fu, tae Kwon do, Krazy Klimber, Kommunism....some other shit, too, I don't remember.
