Oh, me too! I watched the early UFC's when it first started, through about the first 20, but became bored with it. Then back about 2003 or 2002, I saw a commercial about Royce Gracie, and I wondered whatever happened to him. It was for an event I was unaware of at the time called Pride FC. I didn't order the event, but sometime a while after I saw the 2000 Pride Grand Prix with Gracie on the cover. I was then hooked on Pride. I bought every single video and watched the ones from 2003 on to the end of Pride on Pay-Per-View.
I'm not currently into it as much as before, but I still like certain guys and recently saw Faber Vs. Pulver. Faber is a beast. I've always looked down on mma fighters, because of fans thinking they are "the best athlete ever" but when I watched them, even top guys would flurry and be tired after 2 or 3 minutes of the first round. When you come from watching prize fighting, to seeing guys that have pathetic stamina for fighting, it gets annoying to hear that people call them the best atheletes. Anyhow, Faber is an exception. Can't wait to see him fight more!
