UFC fighting is incredibly brutal.

Also, on a side note, I think body builders in general are ugly. Such a copious amount of muscle is unnattracive, I see it as a deformation.

Although I weigh 145 pounds and have trouble bench pressing that much....

As difficult and punishing as UFC may allegedly be, it's exceptionally boring - and more than a tad gay, as Bill so correctly pointed out - to watch. I'd rather watch golf. Even Wok With Yan. But not The Rockford Files.

The fight always goes like this -

1. Fight starts.
2. A couple of token, but weak and insubstantial, punches and/or kicks are thrown.
3. The two men grapple, one goes for the legs, and they both fall to the mat.
4. They continue to expend a great deal of energy and strength grappling and wrestling each other, like frustrated but misguided male howler monkeys during the mating season.
5. Someone gets tired first.
6. The tired first guy gets panneled.
7. Fight ends.

They lack the Eye of the Tiger.

All IMHO.

It might be the massive adrenaline rush contributing to your sickness?

I've always striven to end such unfortunate encounters in a few seconds,
with the logic that if that other guy wants to hurt me, he's gotta go down NOW.

I've often felt a big adrenaline surge afterward.

I've got a generally peacful philosophy...
but once somebody hits me, Mr. Hyde takes over.

the trick to ground fighting is not getting tied up, not really strength. If you're quick, you can cause some damage and escape. Think testicles, elbows to the quads, eye gouges.

Quickness is the key. And covering up waiting for your chance to strike.

In the early days of the UCF, it was even more brutal.
You could pull hair, punch to the balls
and there were other types of hitting that are now banned.

I think biting and eye poking might have been some of the few restrictions?

The first time I saw UCF, a guy was really working out on another guy's nuts
( relax Bill )

I thought to myself; "What the Hell is this??"


I think they have also been prevented from using their elbows,
except when swinging them in the less devastating forward motion.

I was watching UFC once and there was this one big guy and this other guy had to make circles around him without touching the ground. This one man held onto this other man and 'crawled' around his body for hours.
