The only people who see two guys beating the everloving piss out of each other and can only think about sex are gays.

I'm going to day that anyone around my weight class in the UFC would beat my freaking skull in.

Your weight class? I weigh 245, I'd really get my head bashed in.

lol, you would have to fight Lesner. Yes, we would bash your head in.

Me, I probably would have to fight St. Pierre :(

"Beating the everloving piss out of each other"? They have UFC on all the time here at Mandalay Bay and whenever I look up to see what's happening, all I see are guys rolling around on the ground with each other trailing blood and sweat.

LOL, either that or they're dancing around each other in a circle with one of them tapping his fist against the other guy's palm.

This guy keeps it real...haha.
Yeah I think who ever talks me into walking in that cage could be charged with murder.

I could probably last about 5 seconds trying to run around the ring before I got caught and annihilated.

If theres a weight class for middle aged 160lb guys who havent worked out in a year I might fit in.

Nope. It's sport fighting, and I don't consider fighting a sport. You fight when you have to in order to protect yourself, and that means doing ANYTHING you have to in order to go home that night. You rupture eyes, tear out throats, break limbs...anything.

its just not their strength or technique, its the fact that (most) pro athletes have insane conditioning

which means that you can last the first minute in the ring, if you know how to block and throw a punch, but the next minute you're fucked

i couldn't even make it to the ATOT UFC.

fighting scares the piss out of me... i have seen way too many people get hurt really bad and seen too much violence up close & personal to ever be involved again personally....

i really dig watching sanctioned shit like UFC though :cool:

I've seen a few very pathetic fighters, like one that ran around the whole ring for all rounds. I could maybe make it as one of those. He never had a single punch laid on him. He also lost.

Also not sure if there's a weight class for 140 pounds. :p I actually lost half a pound last week. Decided to only eat takeout once to see what difference it makes. Not big, but there is one. :p

Let's just say that not only have I met some Navy SEALS, but they actually talked to me.

So yeah, I would dominate.

I've watched every bruce lee movie at least 3 times, and many jackie chan and jet li movies. With the knowledge I have gained from watching these films, I feel I could be competitive at the highest level of mixed martial arts.
