    I'm not a MMA fan but want to give the sport a chance so are there any fights you'd recommend I watch that will get me interested in MMA/UFC?

    Sort of like the MMA equivalents of Corrales-Castillo and MAB-Morales I.

    Also, there's UFC on tonight. Are there any fighters or fights to watch out for?

    Thanks :good

    Tonight I would watch Dan Hardy cos he's British, the main event should be good, Cro Cop if he is back to his normal self.

    Fights to watch hmm :-

    Kazushi Sakuraba vs Carlos Newton (most exciting display of grappling I've ever seen) although maybe not a war.
    Wanderlei Silva vs Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson I,II and III
    Mauricio 'Shogun' Rua vs Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
    Fedor vs Cro Cop

    Just to name a few well known fights. I'll come back with some more later maybe.

    Also watch Griffin Bonnar 1. It's the fight that really brought the sport main stream.

    Today's main event between Franklin and Silva should be a barnburner. Definitely check that out. There are some great suggestions on this list. jimmie seems to have covered the majority of the good ones. lol

    You can search out these fights over at MMA core.

    I knew someone was going to say that :roll: Honestly for ****s sake that clown Rogan influences every one of these UFC fan boys. How the **** are you going to compare Corrales Castillo with a barnyard brawl with 2 TUF gimps who are nothing more than UFC poster boys because of TUF? Honestly its farcical. There is NO COMPARISON whatsoever. Iv seen WBU santioned bouts that were better than that uneducated crap from Bonnar and Griffin. They looked like 2 pub drunks having a brawl.

    And for the record if you want to see an MMA fight that was sheer carnage as was Castillo Corrales watch Don Frye vs Takayama. I gurantee you you WILL NOT be dissapointed.
