Ty Cobb Posted October 22, 2008 Report Posted October 22, 2008 WOW, I can't believe it's UFC 90. I can remember UFC 1, 2, and 3 like it was yesterday. I don't know how long everyone has been fans of the UFC, but it sure has changed. When it first started it was a tournament of 8 fighters (I think) that fought untimed matches. The only rules were; no biting and no eye gouging. There were kicks and punches everywhere, and I do mean everywhere. The matches were very brutal. Some of the matches were over very quickly but some lasted 30+ minutes. If you won your first match you fought another. Some winning fighters would be hurt or just too exhausted to continue in the tournament so a replacement fighter would take his place in the next fight. Royce Gracie used to dominate because of his ground game. Everyone now days, even the worst fighter, has a ground game. I realize that the event changed so it could go mainstream, I just can't believe it is at UFC 90 already.
Gabe Posted October 22, 2008 Report Posted October 22, 2008 Ive was a fan in the past, lost interest and have been watching again for over a year. The guys today are so quick, strong and talented. It truly is a great SPORT to watch. It sure KO's boxing these days.
