ill watch them later
when i was watching some KO's earlier i saw people getting booted in the head on the floor and stuff it looked alot more brutal than UFC
pride was, very brutal in places and the refs let the fights go when you could see the fighters were done
but there were times where fights were real battles and it was quite amazing to watch
pride was more brutal but even though you could kick ppl in the face/head and knee them etc, you would not get as many cuts or fights stops as the ufc, because the ufc people can try and cut you with elbows to end the fight early, hence all the blood you see from some of the ufc fights, normally at the top of the head where the blood pumps good aswell, can spoil a fight for the fans..
ufc you used to be able to knee to the head, but the Nevada state athletic commission stopped it and the ufc complied because they need to be on there side to be sanchend in the other states.. i think there is only 3 more for them to crack in america
this sport was once very brutal, well it wasnt a sport in the old days rangin back 10 years or so, there were hardly any rules, no weight classes, and it was 3 fights in one night and it was not commissioned, but funnily enough there was not any deaths unlike boxing
but it was still banned across the states and was banned in the uk to.. i was lucky enough to find a video of ufc 1 over 10 years ago in the video shop and i was hooked from that point
now it is a proper sport as is so explosive and dynamic, and a fight can be finished from many different positions unlike boxing, which makes it so much more exciting and believe it or not it is alot safer than boxing, boxing you get hit in the head over and over, even tho they have 16oz gloves, compared to the ufc 4oz... the ufc you will not see repeat punches to the head.. not 12 rounds of it, less people will get cabbaged in mma than boxing, but there will be more broken limbs because of it lol
ok i'll shut up now
