I see what the dudes saying I think. While it hasn't ruined martial arts films for me, it does seem to show that the complex, dramatic and exciting styles shown in martial arts movies doesn't amount to fuck all when it gets real. UFC does seem to have an enourmous amount of focus on ground and pound and I would like to see some variation on the fights. You know like underground circuit? way back in the 30's and 40's the london underworld boasted a massive bareknuckle scene with a variety of arenas. The most notorious was the hourglass. The fighters would get in a clear sided cube then once the fight starts they start to pour sand in a hole in the roof. It was meant to be a massive equaliser because the conditions were so bad, ie you couldn't see shit, your breathing's all fucked up etc. I realise something like that wont come back but I'd love to see some ufc matches with rules like stand up fight only, or chain their wrists together, shit like that. UFC is cool but some nights it doesn't get my heart racing like it did when Randy and Chuck fought. maybe I'm talking shit, I'm kind of stoned. no worries. lol


happy smoking
