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.
@KLEIN000045 lol idiot. the end!
this is sooo sick just diots work that
@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…
MMA is greek and if you have any questions just read about pagratio
Too American!! You can never have too much America! lol
Thats the stupidest thing ever. Vale tudo had been goin on in brazil for years on the firt pro MMa organization was in Japan
@KLEIN000045 you know nothing, it seems
absolutly not. mma is brasilian and russian and then american …but last position.
So? I believe thats a good thing.
MMA is 100% american
Fedor Emelianenko is the best fighter in the world
Does your ego feel better now after that?
i love mma, i prefered pride. ufc some good aspect, many fucked up. basically TOO AMERICAN. too american biased. that’s fuked up.
you’re a plug, you must not appreciate MMA in general then.
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………
as long as ufc keeps building money and fans it will just get bigger and bigger, and more better fighters will come.
ya ring is better
no you’re just ignorant!
affliction deserved to fail because they clearly only wanted to cash in on the success that MMA was getting.
It was kind of the fact that people started accepting MMA was not a cockfight or what not.
