Today is the 10th anniversary of Bonnar/Forrest. Amazing how 1 fight completely changed the landscape of mma.

Edit: I wasn't watching back then (not until 06), but how close did Pride come to buying the UFC?

To be honest, that fight didn't thrill me as much as most people. Sure, both guys were warriors, but it just wasn't a very skillful fight. It was a good battle, but I think it gets overrated as a fight. By the end of it, it was like watching two kids playing with Rock Em Sock Em Robots.

I don't think you'll find many people that say it is a skillful fight. But it sure as hell was a fun fight to watch.

Maybe. But it's definitely up there as one of the most important fights in MMA history.

If I want to introduce someone to MMA, I don't show them this fight, though.

Well supposedly the Fertittas told Dana that they were done losing money on the UFC and that TUF1 HAD to succeed.

Jacare should replace Dolloway against Bisping.

Edit: And yeah, Cuba sucks. Lombard and Rory would've fought until the former pissed hot for 'roids.

I'm not sure if pride (the yakuza) was really serious about buying the UFC.

Imagine if they had bought the UFC earlier in the year. This is what the lhw grand prix would've looked like:

Arona
Chuck
Igor
Lil Nog
Overeem
Rampage
Randy
Shogun
Tito
Vitor
Wand

Was she on TUF 20? There was a Canadian chick on there with a big nose who I thought was hot too.

Ya but his corner right now is coaching him to wall and stall. He gets going and the fight starts to get exciting then break time on the cage for a minute or two. Almost all the fights have been boring just because of wall and stalls. It is easily the worst part of MMA right now.
