Anyone ever into Pancrase? it started in japan and it's what started what eventually became UFC, pride and whatever else you see today.

Also does anyone know any good sites or clips to videos for beginners who just wanna learn the lingo and what move is what? thanks for the help

Norifumi Yamamoto is the mini cooper O_O too bad he got injuried and missed the tryouts for the Olympics, but he won k-1 heros this year. =D

Well the largest MMA forum is sherdog, you can always check that out

I haven't been up to date with MMA lately, ever since Pride was bought I've lost some interest.

Nice, so will you be catching the UFC live in Montreal next year? That should be awesome - especially if it's GSP vs. Serra (provided he gets past Hughes)

I'm REALLY hyped for Silva v Liddell. The stare down alone will be worth the viewing price!

Nice. Dana White "promised" to bring UFC to Montreal in 08. I don't know how much that's worth, but hey, I'm finally going to see Liddell v Silva too, so I guess I can kinda, sorta, maybe...nah, I still don't trust him. But we can all hope for the best!

Plus pancrase is from greece not japan.

i know a little late but to add .... UFC was started b/c of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu b/c the Gracie family wanted to prove BJJ was an effective style compared to the other MAs
