I am the biggest UFC fan at the Campfire-heck,I'm one of the biggest MMA fans on the internet!!

Post those pics!Your friend wouldn't happen to be Dan Henderson would it?

WB.

I've been a huge fan since UFC one. Remember when Royce Gracie always won?

Welcome aboard.

yeah I gotta admit WCB is pretty knowledgable about the bouts and such, he's posted some good links to fights that I've enjoyed and I appreciate it.


welcome to the 'fire, good folks, we fight on here too but just finger waggin on the keyboard. (grin)

Gotta love MMA.....I used to be a big boxing fan but MMA/UFC is where it's at. I could watch that stuff 24/7.....

BTW - welcome to the fire!

Im guessing Matt Hughes ?

Huge MMA fan here. Nice to know others on the Fire follow the sport.

huntsonora,

Welcome to the 'fire. If you are in Grants Pass when it is pay per view night, stop in. I get all of the UFC fights.

I'm all about some MMA, especially the big league UFC. Welcome to the site.

Brock Lesnar is sponsored by Federal Fusion Ammo.

It could be him as well.

Sincerely,

Thomas

speakin of Brock Lesnar didn't you mention you were gonna whup his azz a few threads ago Thomas? (grin)

MMA is cool.

Its fascinating to see how different each discipline is.

Jijitsu v. Wrestling vs. Tae Kwon Do, etc.

That, and the wicked knockouts, are cool. . . . .

I love watching the MMA matches, my 21 year old nephew had his first professional MMA fight last November, the whole family likes it.

All for Lesnar. He is a NCAA national champ from MN.
He used to come up to Anchorage and hang out with my brother when he was in WWE.
He is all class.

Any big hunting and fishing farm boy from SD is a friend around our fire.

Not as happy about Sam Hoger. He gave Alaskan Wrestling a bad name.

Sincerely,
Thomas

It's cool when they fight and not hug on the floor for 5 minutes. Then I turn it off, which has been a lot lately.

Another thing if you can hold a guy down and hit him in the face with your elbow, why can't he rip your ear off, or something along those lines. Or if he can bend your arm backwards why can't you grab his throat?

I don't mean to demean the sport but if it is ultimate and a guy can do some dirty tricks why not others?
Seems there are either to many rules or not enough, I'm not really sure which.

I'd like to hear some good answers to those questions

Watching UFC reruns right now as a matter of fact

For me UFC is boring in general. I guess I'm just not entertained by half naked men rolling around in a ring or should I say octagon. I do get a kick out of the specials they run on TV where they just show the greatest knockouts. Those are pretty entertaining. UFC is one of them things that's more fun to actually do in real life rather than just watch. I'm an amateur boxer, so I know what I'm talking about.

Most certainly a fan.

Dan Henderson is a good friend of mine and he is a great hunter, He came down to NM a few years back and killed a management buck with me. We were looking for an old 3x4 that was really heavy and would have grossed in the mid to high 170's, I saw the deer 2 days before Dan showed up but we were unable to locate him once he got there. Dan ended up killing a wide deer with weak forks, this deer did not have any teeth left and this deer had been a fixture on the ranch for years. It needed to be taken and Dan shot him at over 300 yards.

L to R me, my friend Olin and Dan


Next day found us on a different ranch glassing on a ridge and it was my turn to shoot. I was looking for something big and the night Before Olin had glassed 3 deer from this spot, one of the deer was a giant and if we could locate him I was going to make a run at him. Dan glassed this deer down in the pinons and it was the smallest of the 3 that Olin had seen the night before. We couldnt locate the other 2 bucks that had been with him but I decided to bail off the rim and cut the distance in case they popped up. Here is the deer



I got down there and it was evident that the other 2 bucks had decided to bed somewhere else, they werent anywhere around. While I was sitting on the ridge I found this matate





I left it where I found it and headed down to be picked up

This past May Dan came out to bear hunt with me. We were going to film his hunt for Ryan Kleskos outdoor show called Grand Slam Adventures. We were hunting with another great friend of mine, Jim Richards owner of Blue Horse Outfitters in Savery WY. Dan had a number of opportunities had he chosen to pick up a muzzleloader or rifle but wanted to try and kill one with his Mathews bow for the show.

Jim Richards is first class! If your looking to book a hunt for spring or fall bear, deer, elk or lion he is a good guy to talk to. PM me for his info

We were in Atlanta in early September for Dans fight vs Rousimhar Pahlares and had to risk the season being shut down as its on quota. Wouldnt you know the day Dan flew into Denver the next week they closed the season so we just hung around Denver. It worked out well as the Dodgers were in town to play the Rockies and we had a friend that was pitching for the Dodgers so we went to his games. It was a GREAT weekend

Dan killed a damn nice bull with us this past October and I'll post up a few of thos pictures later.

I talked with him tonight and he is turkey hunting. Dude is crazy about the sport!

This past January Dan fought Rich Franklin in Dublin Ireland and won. Because of his victory he was chosen to coach vs Michael Bisping on this seasons Ultimate Fighter television show. The first episode airs on Wednesday night.

I'm really happy for Dan as it will give the general publiuc a chance to get to know him so to speak. Dan fought in Pride for years which was based in Japan and the average fan doesnt really know him. The hardcore guys will tell you that he is basically a living legend in the sport of MMA, he is the only man to hold two different belts in two different weight classes simultaneously. He owned the 183lb belt then knocked out Wanderlei Silva to take the 205lb belt in Pride.

He is a great dude and is no different than us, he loves to hunt and fish and just be in the outdoors in general. This past year in Denver he was asked for pictures and autographs constantly and he didnt turn one down. I asked him if it was getting old and he said "absolutely not" and "if it werent for the fans of the sport I wouldnt have a job".

Pull for him this season on Spike, he will fight Bisping July 11 in Vegas at UFC 100. It is rumored that the winner gets Anderson Silva anf he really wants that rematch. I feel he is the only guy right now that can really challenge Anderson and I think he'll beat him next time.

I'll post up a few pictures from the trip to Dublin in January if anybody is interested

"I'll post a few pictures from the trip in Dublin in January if anybody is interested"
