I got into MMA right around UFC2. I’m not a massive fan of it now it’s developed into mixed martial arts as a style. What attracted me to ufc was the idea of lots of different martial arts styles all competing against each other with very few rules and no rounds. Once there was a need to water it down to get the fights sanctioned I think it lost its edge. Ground work can be fun, but it’s ultra technical and doesn’t make for great viewing. These days given the choice I’d rather watch K1 or Muay Thai.
