Can you imagine the level of a mind that watches wrestling?

    Do any of you WWE people watch the UFC? It's not really shown over here, but you can download most of them, or you can probably buy the DVD's somewhere.

    It's like WWE, sans scripts! It's great!!! Real fighting.

    It can be boring for people who aren't into compeditive fighting though. Well, that's what I've noticed. It's about efficiency rather than flair a lot of the time.

    Ye downloaded a few fights. It's very good alright.
    It can't be compared to WWE as that’s comedy entertainment and UFC is serious fighting.

    Can you recommend any good names to search for as it’s really hit and miss for me getting decent fights?

    It's not actually UFC, but rather Pride (which is just the Japanese [I think] equivalent, but has the same nationalities as UFC... it just pays more probably!), but have a search for Wanderlei Silva. My favourite fighter :D If you've got the p2p program Bearshare, then just search for his name in videos, and you'll get loads of results. I was just watching his fight versus Quinton Jackson in Pride 28, yesterday, and it was brilliant!

    I take the point made earlier about it being a bit boring for non-Martial Artists, as the fights often go to the ground, where there's lots of manouvering and so on in order to apply a submission hold. But Wanderlei Silva doesn't like to go to the ground, so his fights are usually entertaining -- he's a bad ass :)

    Who else...... Tito Ortiz is in the UFC, he's pretty good. He likes the ground as well as stand-up though, so it might be a bit hit and miss.

    You can download various clips from http://www.sherdog.com/videos/videos_main.asp
    Don't think you'll get many full fights from it, but there's some good clips and highlights. As I said earlier, if you've got a p2p program, have a search for UFC or some of the fighters I mentioned.

    Good luck!

    BTW, YouTube seems to be returning dick-all good videos, so don't think there's any point in searching there.

    Yes indeed. Just because they talk a good fight, sweat a lot and walk around in their underpants half the time doesn't qualify them as athletes.

    Of course it doesn't. :)

    Possessing strength, agility, endurance and a strong willpower (for the reqiured exercise/entertainment and sport) does, however.

    Dude, get yourself NTL digital, it's on Bravo for free, Pride is on Men and Motors and Sky Sports carries Cage Rage.

    Because you love the fighting so much, here's a linky.....enjoy!!!! Great ****ing fight!!!!

    For my money, some decent fights are

    Fedor Emelianenko Vs Kevin Randleman.....show you how bad ass a fight can be.
    Randy Couture Vs Chuck Lidell 1 , that was a great fight!!!!

    The wandy fight that was mentioned was unreal as well!!!!

    They would be a nice intro into the whole thing.
