I really don't watch it. I have the arguement with my brothers whats the better buisness and if a UFC star and WWE star fought who wold win. I obviously siad WWE because it's based on the wrestling from the days in Greece and all so it's been around longer then Micx Martial Arts I beleive. It's very violent the UFC and they never clean up the blood after the match which is very unhealthy for the other guys.

There is no definitive answer to that question really- there is no one method of fighting that will trump all overs 100% of the time. I would assume on the business side of things that the WWE makes a lot more money than the UFC though

I actually don't mind the violence of contact sports like boxing or martial arts, I think there's something very raw and sporting about it

You are right on both aspects. The WWE definatley gets more money because it's on a national channel and has a lot of PPV and promotional commercials. i was watching SPike the channel the UFC is on and there was a Promo for the WWE Royal Rumble PPV. The WWE has the money to do that while the UFC is just starting. It's a baby compared to the WWE buisness wise plus te WWE has one of the best buisness men in the country in Vince McMahon. He's good friends with The Donald.

A friend of mine who is a fan of the sport lent me a DVD of UFC 75, which I believe was in the UK, but I haven't watched it yet

After my first foray into the world of the UFC, the same friend has leant to me the following DVD's---

UFC 1- The Beginning
UFC 2- No Way Out
UFC 3- The American Dream
UFC 4- Revenge of the Warriors
UFC 5- Return of the Beast
UFC 6- Clash of the Titans
UFC 7- The Brawl in Buffalo
UFC 8- David vs. Goliath
UFC 60- Hughes vs. Gracie
UFC 67- All or Nothing
UFC 70- Nations Collide

I think it's his entire collection, so he is really making an effort to get me into UFC lol

Tyson Griffin vs. Frank Edgar on UFC 67 was one of the most exciting fights.
And UFC 70 had one of the most devastating knockouts. So you should check those out. I won't spoil it for you if you don't know what happened but someone gets KTFO!!

If you are trying to get yourself acquainted to UFC, 1-8 is nothing like what it is now. They actually have rules now and fighting styles have evolved

mmatv streams mma fights. The legality of this I don't know but who cares! You need sopcast and go to the mmatv channel

If he weighed 300 he slimmed down to meet the HW weight limit lol.

Mir is a great submission artist - he broke Sylvia's arm - and Lesnar will wrestle Mir to the ground. So it will be interesting to see how the ground game works. I don't know of Brock's striking but everyone has a 1 hit KO chance
