i was wondering where the mma threads were. anyone else a fan of this sport? i use to watch ufc, but now i watch pride because i think they have overall better fighters. Fedor Emelianenko is currently my favorite fighter

I'm more of a Pride FC fan than UFC. I'm a big fan of Takanori Gomi.
Matt Hughes is a monster in the UFC octagon too.
I never really got into the K1, but I've seen highlight reels of a lot of people, and I have to say that Ernesto Hooste is one bad mother f***er

Wanderlei will fight only if Liddel gets past Babaloo.

The UFC special last weekend was brutal. Ortiz / Shamrock was a joke, as was the Silvia / Arlovski bout.

Pride > UFC anyday of the week.

Jesus yeah, it was the biggest waste of money for me. I can't wait till the next round of the OWGP.
CROCOP!

Oh yeah, and the Frank Mir fight was lame as hell too. So out of shape.

Here's two fighters that aren't that very well known to fans that just watches the UFC.

Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto

Probably the 2nd best pound for pound MMA fighter next to Fedor. This is a pretty awesome highlight reel of his fights. He fighting style is so aggressive, his opponents almost always look so timid in comparison.

Genki Sudo

IPB Image

http://youtube.com/watch?v=-pJsbOmrYNY&...ch=genki%20sudo

Pretty much the coolest highlight film you'll ever see. He's definitely one of the best fighters in Japan. He has a very unique way of fighting and he pretty much breakdances in the middle of a bout to throw off his opponent. He lost to Kid Yamamoto not too long ago in their much anticipated fight, but most fans agree that the fight was stopped prematurely.

yamamoto is nice, He's a pretty solid fighter
I don't know about genki though
He's just a little too weird for me.. That one fight where he was like pop n' lockin while entering the ring..
I didn't know what the hell he was doing...
he's got that bird tattoo on his back though
It looks crazy

wow you pick the obvious champs as your favorites? lame

I just love watching CroCop and waiting to see him do his devastating kick! Has anyone ever knocked out Mark Hunt? Damn that guy's got a real ROCKHEAD!

Genki Sudo fought in the UFC.
And Crocop knocked out Mark Hunt in K1 with a LHK I think. That was their first fight. The second fight Crocop lost because his foot was injured and he was sick.
