just wanted you to know that all the materials arts thingy started in India.

we need more organisations like this. I LOVE THE UFC but at the same time I wish we still had Pride running in Japan and I wish we had more headline organisations. The fighters need options.

They paid 800k to Silvia and 300k to Fedor. That’s why affliction died – they were just a bunch of greedy bastards unwilling to pay Fedor what he deserved.

Actually in medieval europe there were already highly developed martial arts very similiar to contemporary MMA (lots of wrestling, grappling, armlocks etc.). Europe has really great martial arts heritage, unfortunately most of it got forgotten during 17-19th century period.

LOL. You do know that mma fights started throughout Europe and Japan.

@NINJAMOUSE21 u r 100% right. long live Greece, from Italy. the atmosphere of war of the octagon anyway comes from the roman empire and the colosseum were battles took place there between so called gladiators. so to Italy and Greece are the motherlands of mma. Even the ufc begins its program with an omage to the italian centurions and gladiators who stepped into the colosseum back then…as now mma fighter step into the octoagon…

NINJAMOUSE21 March 16, 2010 at 22:20

BobReefer March 17, 2010 at 02:48

you’re a plug, you must not appreciate MMA in general then.

terra2805 March 17, 2010 at 03:00

Some of these comments prove that some of you don’t know jack s**t about MMA, calling the octagon (or cage) a gimmick? PMSL get real, go back to watching WWE. You call the UFC shit but i bet you don’t miss an event, that’s called hypocracy, if all your going to do is moan and cuss, keep it to yourself, we don’t want to hear it. To the people making genuine constructive comments, critical or not, this doesn’t apply to you………

chewbenchon March 17, 2010 at 03:16

as long as ufc keeps building money and fans it will just get bigger and bigger, and more better fighters will come.

gekko101 March 17, 2010 at 03:44

ya ring is better

Gurpreet25 March 17, 2010 at 04:14

no you’re just ignorant!

Gurpreet25 March 17, 2010 at 04:20

affliction deserved to fail because they clearly only wanted to cash in on the success that MMA was getting.

Gurpreet25 March 17, 2010 at 04:34

It was kind of the fact that people started accepting MMA was not a cockfight or what not.
