[Locoplata78]

Im a big time MMA (mixed martial arts) fan. I also train and teach a lil no-gi jiu-jitsu...

any fans on here? who are you fave fighter(s)?

[GoGoKokiGo]

I'm not a big fan of it at all, my husband likes it though. From what I seen it just looks like half naked guys hugging on the ground. Lol no offense, just thought that would be funny to say. I don't remember exactly but I think he likes Chuck Ladel...is that how you spell it?

[Locoplata78]

lol Its Chuck Liddell, so you were close... Yeah, it looks like one of the strangest thing you've ever seen if you're not into it, or dont understand it, or dont have martial arts background. But thats cool. To each thier own!

Since I've been with my boyfriend and dealing with him having to take combatives(hand to hand combat) in the army I have become a fan...I dont have a favorite fighter yet..but I love to see someone tap out but get a thrill when they pass out...lol

Oh that's how you spell it, I probably should have looked it up. I didn't mean to make fun of it. It just looked that way to me. I do realize you have to be crazy strong to be in that. So I do respect it, no matter how funny it looks to me.

Me to! Im a submission guy aaaaaaaaall the way!  Must be my Jiu-Jitsu background lol... As we say in MMA class "Tap. Snap. Or nap!"

Its all good. Thank you for at least respecting it. When I tell people I train a lil MMA they usually think Im crazy and or a very angry person or im violent or something like that. Its just a sport. lol

I've become a fan through my boyfriend who introduced me. Now we regularly watch and keep up with the matches. I like GSP a lot. He loves Wanderlei Silva.

[Locoplata78]

Yeah, Wandie is awesome! Ive never seen him in a boring fight. The guy is a legend, fading a little bit, but still a legend.

I have been doing MMA since i was eight years old, 27 years now, I'm a 6th degree Black Belt In Sho, One of my favorites is Cung Le from STRIKEFORCE, He is the current lightheavy weight champion, Me and him have the same fighting style in martial arts.

[Locoplata78]

Hells yeah. Cung Le is a pimp!!! His striking is scary good! And all those takedowns/throws from sanshou are awesome. If he had the JJ to back it up he'd be unstoppable... Cung is gunna have an unbelievably hard time with Nick Diaz! Its gunna be EPIC when and if it finally happens! lol

[Locoplata78]

[g2teg27]

Wouldn't say I'm a hardcore fan, but I follow the sport for sure.
