2006-2010 for me.

I liked Gracie, Silva, Hughes, Evans, Couture, Lidell, GSP, Machida.

That 4 year stretch was strong and captivating for me.

I no longer have the interest that I once had.

Hendo decked the Englishman. UFC got into a weird ground dry humping stage after that.

I got into it around 2008 or so. Kind of stopped watching around 2014. Don't know why. Just kind of lost interest.

2007-2010...once the original greats like Hughes, Couture, Penn, Liddell, etc started fading, I lost interest.

Plus, it went from fighting to a bunch of dudes trying to see who could lay on their opponent the longest and win (Thanks GSP).

Probably 4 years ago when we started getting a UFC every 3-6 weeks. Complete over saturation and I lost interest.

I don't really watch it anymore.

I really enjoyed the WEC fights back before UFC took them in.

It was on free TV, and the little guys like Fabre, Mike Brown,etc. had some damn good fights.
