I have been watching MMA for 24 years. Since 1993 when the UFC began.
Those who have started watching when TUF began do not realize how good ALL the fighters have gotten..... I seriously watch some Hollywooded movie at times and think, what if a battle like such ACTUALLY did happen?
Well, I seriously cannot pretend that what is acted out in movies, we sometimes get to see as TRUE MMA FANS.
For instance, this past weekend, the first fight between Brown and Camacho was a Top Notch battle of wills with both warriors refusing to quit.
Back in early UFC days, a battle as such was non-existent....In Pride, it occurred on occasion.
BUT, in 2017, a battle of wills does not necessarily or must come from a top name. Great MMA battles come from unknowns all the time now.
I could care less if I see the typical, "UFC is dying" post. 2018 is gonna be MASSIVE!
