ULTIMATE FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP
this is an american sport, although we've got our own version in the UK, (cage fighting)
it's MMA (mixed martial arts) the ultimate fighters come from many different disciplins, boxing, kick boxing, jujitsu (spell?) shooto, grecko roman wrestling. but the fighters have to mix it up and learn a bit of everything before they compete in the octogon.
an 'all round' fighter can use his fists, his feet, elbows, knees, or tap out with a submission (thats an arm/leg bar, or a choke hold)
a UFC fighter needs brains, brawn, and (balls lol)
these guys are modern day warriors!
if you're a fight fan (boxing/kick boxing) then check out this sport. not sure of time/day/channel on USA tv, but there's a program called the ultimate fighter on spike TV. (young fighters aspiring to become UFC warriors)
but here in the UK they are showing championships from previous years, every saturday and sunday, either 9.45pm, or 10pm, on BRAVO.
this coming sunday, (sunday 20th november, 10pm, bravo) ((here in the UK)), we get to see the latest competition, UFC 56, FULL FORCE
anyone interested in finding out more about the UFC, CLICK HERE, for the website. i watched my first boxing match at about the age of ten, and then watched every match i possibly could from that day lol, but the UFC has completely taken over my love of boxing, i'm hooked!!
is anyone else a UFC fan?
