I have a random question for people here. If you can remember, what got you into MMA and WMMA?
This might sound cliché but my 1st introduction into MMA was the Forrest vs Bonnar fight. I had never known MMA existed before that fight. I never cared for combat sports and after that fight I was still extremely casual. During my time as a casual fan I seen a Matt Serra fight where they were doing crazy stuff on the ground that really turned me into an MMA fan. I don't remember who he was fighting but I remember he wore white shorts and it was an exciting display of BJJ.
This might also sound cliché but Ronda is what got me into WMMA. I was watching Strikeforce and saw other WMMA fights but it did not click until Ronda started destroying people. The amount of hype she built during that time period was amazing. However, my favorite time period as a fan of WMMA was when Invicta had a ton of talent. Their cards were the best. If someone were to call me an Invicta shill at that time they would be right. The cards were always packed with exciting fights. Everyone knew they were not making much money but no one cared. They just loved to fight and you saw it in their performances. I love that they are getting paid more now but once money got involved the excitement level of the fights went down a lot.
