I’m old enough to remember the days of Royce Gracie and Ken Shamrock. I liked UFC back then. But then somewhere along the way, it changed. It changed into who was the most entertaining fighter instead of who was the most skilled. Sure, some of those early fights weren’t were chess matches, but that was the sport. The fighters today still have skill, don’t get me wrong. The fans have also changed…I mean booing two jiu jitsu fighters in a bold is just weird and disrespectful to me. I wonder how many fighters don’t make it in the UFC just because they’re “boring.”
I don’t care for it now. I haven’t watched it in many years. I think Frank Mir was the last fighter I really followed. I’ve tried watching Pride, but it’s been hard for me to find.
