Do you think UFC is real or faked like WWF

[Smart Fighter]

how do you figure this ? the first ufc's had 1 rule and that was no eye gouging. your saying that thats not the closest to a real fight as you can get ?? yeah of course UFC is entertainment.. so is a real fight in the street that people watch its just entertainment.. doesnt mean its not violent or real..

I agree that you believe that, I'm interested in people that live outside the bubble. Everyone is entitled to his/her opinion. So no offense, I see no point in continuing this any further. Guy Incog, I commend your sense of reality, at least it is inline with mine. Apparently though we are a minority(as usual). You guys hash this out among yourselves. Peace.

forgot to add that in the 1st ufc the only rule was no eye gouging. and besides that wouldnt stop ANYONE in a life or death situation.

It would stop me im blind in one eye!HA!

What do you do, if I may ask?

Do you think UFC is real.I cant beleive so many think it is!Its staged just like WWF! Yes or No?

Dude! are you serious?
Certain rules must be put in place to prevent a fighters career ending prematurely.
Would you even want to see a match where biting and eye gouging
are allowed? if the answer is yes, seek some help my friend.

Thats not my aguement iwould not want people hurting each other.Its just not a good measure of a fighter.In answer to smartfighter i do crowd control and security work.

Hey gracilva look at the photo you posted.The guy has tried to apply a figure 4 leg lock after grabbing his opponents arm.Now look at the rediculous situation he has put himself in.Stupidity!

I would never wish ill will on anyone or would i like to see such things, although I have and worse. The fact still remains, don't try to sell it to me as reality based fighting. When it is in no way like reality. Its sport and as such I don't have a problem with it. But the thread was about its viability as a gauge for ones fight readines in a reality scenario, and it just doent cut it.

ok for smartfighter and guy incog. when guy asks if its fake.. your telling me that then pat smith pounded the crap out of scott morris (ufc 2) that its staged ? dude no way !!! it sucks that there are more rules but no way are they real.. i agree that with soo many rules NOW that its not 100% real fighting. but back then thats as close as it gets... There was a post someone had saying in a fight why not just bite, kick in the balls eye gouge. etc... someon sent a link that proves why that doesnt ALWAYS work.. in some case im sure it would but not all. yeah it might hurt like a female dog but theres soo much adrenaline and the body can withstand tremendous amounts of torture. but going back to the initial post of being real or staged i think its 100% real as do a majority of people.. it might not be 100% the same as a street fight though which i agree with you guys on but as far as being real it is.. its not staged no way though !!

MMA is as close to the reality of a 1 v 1 unarmed encounter as we can safely AND LEGALLY get.

well if you get a finger in the good eye then i guess your kinda screwed huh ? haha.. i would think that its not that easy to go for an eye gouge.. i mean it seems like you could stop it before a great deal of damage is done

[Smart Fighter]

I never claimed it was staged, but Im sure some of the fights are fixed.

LOL, that guy on the bottom has the other guys life in his hands.
he could choke him into a coma if he wanted.
i suppose being in a coma will give him plenty of time
to re-construct his elbow too.
You really have to get to a grappling school and have a roll
to really understand where i'm coming from.

[alwaysmixwell]

i know that post about the position being stupid.. that guys going to have a broken arm and be choked out. but i guess he can still fight under those situations right guy ? haha... guy do you even get the concept of BJJ ?
