Heather in Neverland Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Tonight is the big Silva vs. Cote fight and I am SOOOOO excited!! UFC fights are the only thing I will buy on pay-per-view and I don't know any other women who love MMA like I do (but plenty of guys). Is there something wrong with me? Does anyone else watch it? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisy Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Are you talking about wrestling? :001_huh: LOL. Nope. Not a fan but I can be happy for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissel Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I'm not a fan, but I usually end up watching because my DH likes it. I often have to leave the room at some point during a fight, even if I'm not actually watching (I'm usually working on my laptop). I just DON'T GET IT. I did enjoy watching the show DH likes where the two guys travel around and spend a week learning about the various martial arts dominant in different regions and countries. I think it's fine for you to like it though--whatever you find interesting, right? Everyone's different. From a nature vs. nurture perspective, I do understand why people like that kind of thing. I just can't find that part of myself, I guess :lol: I think I get enough adrenaline from my daily life and stress. I tend to avoid anything on TV that creates more.

LG Gone Wild Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 cause our bill was just too large. Cote is going to get stomped but I am glad he has got his chance at the title. Hope Thiago wins. I don't know who else is on the fight card. The one fight I might pay for is Nogueira/Mir, Henderson/Franklin, and Silva/Jackson bout. My kiddo trains MMA. He is gonna be a great fighter someday. I already have his walkout song picked out. Did you hear EliteXC went under? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepy Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I love MMA! We don't have cable, and therefore no pay-per-view, but we watch the UFC bouts as they are released on Netflix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbeyej Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Um... I was just proud of myself for figuring out what you were talking about! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Well, I think there's a good chance I would enjoy it since I love Martial Arts and I'm very competitive, but we don't have cable so I've never watched. That's probably a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Atl Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Dh watches all the time... calls them the Man show and something else not board friendly lingo. :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurel Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 What does MMA stand for? Mixed Martial Arts. I am not a fan but dp LOVES it, so I will join him for the beginning tonight (mainly because I want pizza too). One of dp's good friends, and the guy's wife love it as well, so they always come over for the fights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should get on the Ultimate Fighter Show someday! So you gotta tell me what his song is! Yeah, Cote is gonna get stomped...Silva is pretty much unstoppable. What an amazing athlete! BUT....I hope Koscheck wins!!! I know he's not popular with most but I dig him for some reason. Also, UFC 91 has Couture vs. Lesnar which ought to be interesting and I want to see Amir Sadollah fight since dh and I never miss the Ultimate Fighter show. And UFC 92 is going to be AWESOME. I'm glad Elite XC went under in a way. I thought it was a trashier version of UFC and that whole Kimbo Slice fiasco was just embarassing. Dana White won't even pick him up. Well, fights will be starting soon..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIN Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 When I read this I thought "Wow! Someone loves our insurance company?" In our area MMA stands for Mennonite Mutual Aid! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverfront Headmistress Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I love MMA! Last night was thoroughly disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisychics Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 (edited) We ARE TOTAL fans!! Hubby is a brown belt in Brazilian Jiujitsu. Ds just started BJJ and has been training Muay Thai since he was 5 years old. I use to train BJJ and had a blue belt but quit when I became pregnant with ds. We usually watch UFC at our house or our friends. We didn't watch Silva and Cote because we're not fans of Elite(something). Brandon Vera use to train where dh and ds train now until he moved to CA. It's nice to know some homeschooling mama(s), MMA fans (and WTM too! yay!). Edited October 26, 2008 by daisychics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in Neverland Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 I love MMA! Last night was thoroughly disappointing. To say the least. I was disappointed in the way Silva danced arouns and just generally goofed off for the first two rounds while Cote seemed to be doing all the work. Then for Cote's knee to give out... Personally, I think they should scrap that fight and have a rematch when Cote is healed. Silva did not deserve a win for that. At least some of the undercard fights were better.

It's nice to know some homeschooling, MMA fans out there (and WTM too! yay!). That is very cool that your ds and dh train. My dh is big into weight-lifting and strong man sports and he turned me on to MMA. Now I think I like it more than he does. :D I don't know what you mean about the Silva fight, though. They fought in the UFC not Elite XC (which went under last week...thank goodness). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I read it wrong. :D I guess we missed that one. Dd had her ballerina party yesterday so I guess I'm a bit out of it. One more year for her and she'll be able to train with big brother. I can't believe dh did not mention it last nite. I usually just go along with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, EliteXC had some great fights (mostly the women fights). My favorite was Cung Lee against Shamrock. It was nice to see a person with a TKD background (Cung Lee) actually win. He kicked Shamrock's arm so hard, he broke it. Usually TKD people get clobbered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacy in NJ Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 We're fans, although we don't usually get the PPV programs. I LOVE the Ultimate Fighter T.V. show. I think Silva won at the beginning of the third round due to an injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
