I watched UFC once.....Two sweaty guys all over each other, half the time they're in missionary position?!?!  Give me a boxing match anyday!

From what I have seen, they are all pretty good looking. Tough for me to say who is the "best". I mean, I have my preferences, just as anyone else. Same thing with porn...what turns me on may not be the same for others. HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have always enjoy pugilism. Growing up in a family with three brothers, we practiced it more than most folks do...HA!!!!!!!!!!!! Fought all the time. I do enjoy a good boxing match but the UFC is something all together different. This is mayhem. When it first began years ago, there were not many "rules" and it was almost like watching gladiators! It was WAY too brutal. As it is now, they have made it more about the martial arts which is interesting but there is that element of brutality that simply cannot be ignored. It is very violent. It is also very intricate and very exciting. The "bigger" man does not always win. Techique means something.
Perhpas it is the carnal nature of man to enjoy this kind of thing? I don't know. I am not a violent person by nature. I do not start fights although I have been in a few in my day. I have been beat up pretty good, too! HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In my younger days, I considered myself a rather "tough" individual but those days are LONG gone. In any event, I am not ashamed to admit that I like the UFC. On occasion, I pay for a fight. It may not be a dignified part of me, but it is the truth!
