Sweeet!
Check this from 1.22 onwards
That’s my mate Mark, so proud of him (brave b*stard lol), he’s rocking the joint!! On Sky Sports, also his big fight will be on there too.
can anyone say little man syndrome why would you post violence ? and why would you be proud of that ??? absolute rubbishness man
To be fair MMA is just a bunch of lads with muscle that never progressed passed the school yard fights. i watched a few of these on sky and it was like watching kids fight, absolutely no skill imo.
all of these guys are apparently trained in there chosen style but none of them end up fighting it, there is no more skill involved in UFC MMA than a drunken pub brawl.
I like to watch all of these sports judo, karate, boxing, wrestling and so on, on there own they are very skilled sports but put them together in one ring and you take the “sports” part away from it, it then becomes about two barbaric idiots throwing un-calculated punches, using his fear (not skill) to cause serious damage to his opponent.
Bah could take them all on 
Make love, not war.

No No No make tutorials not war 
I’d like to see the Karma Sutra in Ableton, cos thats the most popular DAW & its Users pay SA’s wages.
:hehe:
Each to their own guys, but don’t knock what other people find interesting. Don’t forget this is the off topic forum so discussions on other things that isn’t music related is completely fine.
I’ve been doing martial arts since I was 16 so as you can imagine i’m highly passionate about it and I do take it as an offense to be called ‘little mans syndrome’, that’s ridiculas.
My friend is a journalist and what he is doing is seriously brave, 12 weeks isn’t a long time to try and go from chump to champ and i’m really hoping him the best. Especially since he is / was seriously unfit, not to mention the fact he has no background in martial arts.
Maybe it would be healthy for you too to support your friends in their ventures and maybe get other passions in life. Or is your other interests in putting others and their passions and interests down?
A lot of hard work and training goes into what they do, Jon for someone who ‘appreciates’ martial arts, I’m really shocked. Sure there are some sluggers, but then you get loads of that in american wrestling and even boxing… look at Tyson!
But you can’t tar everyone with the same brush.
And anyways, I can’t stand football but you don’t see me putting it down when you have all made dicussions about it in the past, hell I even joined in on some of the convos. Personally I think it’s just a bunch of overpaid pansies who act the big man, but then cry if they fall over or mess up their hair, just a crappy sport with nothing interesting going on for an hour and a half. But like i said… each to their own.
seriously the only time these guys around at an advantage is when they can pin you down and over power you, they have no skill. people think these guys are great and the “best in the world” but there not, they are guys that were not good enough to keep competing. if these guys were put up in a ring
Karate “MMA Fighter” vs Karate “real best in the world”
Boxing "MMA Fighter Vs Boxing “Real Best in the world”
They seriously wouldn’t stand a flying FCUK of a chance.
Yeah its not really my sorta off thing - but your right roben - its interesting to see what over people are interested in - anyone want to see my list of train numbers

Well maybe you’ve got me wrong but I completely agree with you there Jon! Of course.
It’s like if you matched a Thai Boxer against a Boxer but said they can only box, the boxer would win… why? Because boxing is ALL he trains in. Where as the thai boxer trains with his other limbs on top.
It’s similar in that respect to MMA, because they train in everything they arn’t amazing at ONE thing, they become average at everything.

It may seem like that to the untrained eye but they’re actually using a combination of Brazilian Ju Jitsu, Wrestling, Vale Tudo and Judo.

Dude i wouldn’t knock martial arts i just don’t appreciate MMA and your friend will prove his point because he knows what i think, that these guys fighting have no skill and if he trains for 12 weeks there is a good chance he will be fit enough to get one of these guys out before they get him out.
OH and you don’t want to know my opinion of Tyson lol

M8 i aint like you i wont chomp at the bit ,
you on the other hand cant help it its my opinion man if you dont like it then dont post things … its really that simple .
i support my freinds 100% in everything they do but if it was violent then i wouldnt i dont think violence is cool in this way…its basically just viciousness .
and for you to say my life is only about putting peoples interests down … dont make me laugh man … you know ziltch/nada /nil about me so dont profess to be a guru on my life.
I support sport yeah and my friends do play sports and i support them but this to me is just thugs with a licence … simple .
you need to think things through roben before you try (really feebley b.t.w) and slam people … as some people wont take it esp from you dont do it …ok 
double sorry
Well being that i wasn’t ‘slamming you’, that may be why it’s ‘feeble’ :rolleyes: .
Look egg, I appreciate opinions, but you’re ‘opinion’ was just abuse:
“can anyone say little man syndrome why would you post violence ? and why would you be proud of that ??? absolute rubbishness man”
Jon fishers reply was an opinion, there is a difference, he didn’t feel the need to start name calling just because someones likes / dislikes clashed with his own.
Sure I see where you’re coming from, I dislike mindless violence too, but as a sport it’s different because both parties are trained and consenting, not to mention the whole thing is governed by rules and monitored, no different to any other sport.
Ok we’ve got your point, you dislike this kind of sport, but trying to get a rise out of me by accusing me of ‘little man syndrome’ is just sillyness.
Roben simply put i would and do enjoy any Martial Arts as a sport but when it comes to MMA or UFC these are not sports. the guys set out to truly do each other damage and once that has happened you’ve taken the sportsmanship out of it so its no longer an art form imo.
I appreciate what you do and i would come and watch you fight doing your sport but if you stepped in with these guys i would the same level of respect for you it’s that simple. you haven’t trained all these years to cause death or serious damage to some one, you trained because its a thinking mans sport, you trained to defend not to destroy
am i write or wrong?

!. I didnt aim it at you .
2.dont talk stupid **** its like your 5 or something you must have sustained a head injury man just dont post things if you dont like the responses .
3. sort your crap out man you sound like a full on child
No I completely agree with you Jon 
Martial arts very much a thinking mans sport and when it becomes anything other than that, that’s when it’s terrible mindless violence.
Martial arts is very much like chess, it’s about brains not brawns. So I totally 100% agree with you (have you dont MA before? You seem to know a bit about it lol).
I’d much rather watch K1, Muay thai, Kickboxing, Judo or Ju Jitsu but the only reason I have an interest in this particular one is because i’m supporting my friend, it really is as simple as that, he’s my friend and he’s doing his documentry and it’s really nice to see him doing well as it’s getting so much coverage! I don’t watch MMA otherwise.
Egg = More name calling??? Give it up man, it’s not going to fly with me.

And FYI…
The documentry ‘Unfit2Fight’ that he is doing is putting all proceeds and helping to raise awareness to a charity whos cause is against violent crime on the streets.
