    Cheers I will do - never really got into UFC, MMA etc. - just watched the odd fight when it was on tv and of course the comedy acts from Kimbo and Sapp :)

    what a horrid attempt at boxing

    neither of these guys understands basic footwork or head movement

    let alone strategy

    yeah lets grab heads and trade punches

    LIKE CAVEMAN

    forget skill, strategy, proper punching technique

    I've seen better exchanges in hockey even

    As if head movement and strategy are not indicators of a skilled fighter

    not 'lets trade punches like caveman and see who has the tougher face'

    bad punching technique and footwork to boot

    Hey guys, just wondering if you could give me a brief explanation of the UFC, because I have looked at the wiki page and I don't know which points to pick out, because my article should only be 500 words and I will have to miss less important stuff out!

    There's a documentary out there called Decade of Pride. It used to be posted on Youtube - but has since been removed. It's definitely worth tracking down for a brilliant look at the history of the once great fighting organization.
