[Kick Strickland]

This is meant for long time fans who have been here throughout the different ages and states of MMA. But noobs can chime in too. How would you rate your interest level in today's MMA? On a scale of 1-10



The scale being:

10 - "I fucking LOVE this shit! I eat, breathe and sleep mma! Think about it all the time! I own 5 UFC t-shirts!"

7 - it's pretty good!

5 - meh. it's pretty good.

3 - it ain't what it used to be. I miss the old days.

1 - "If you fucked it, it would be necrophilia because that shit is dead."

8 still very much interested even tho all my fighters are passed their prime, besides Reem

 

[Codpiece]

10+

The fights are good, plenty of new talent, especially at 135 and 145, Bellator has some great fighters at WW and below too, @Kick Strickland posting great threads.....it's a marvellous time to be alive, and screw the haters!

I wish we could go back to 3 years ago and just go from there

8.5 love it. But not as much as the Pride V UFC days.

 

[KTO]

4 or 5.

Watching Damian Mia fight last weekend temporarily bumped it up to a 6 for a few days though.

There are too many fighters, too many weight classes, too many events, too much media, too many spooky retards talking about other guys money and PPV numbers.. There is no mystery, waiting or anticipation any more. Most fights look like generic kickboxing bouts with little guys point fighting to a decision or a big guys gassing and getting TKO'd. The fights aren't special or unpredictable any more for me.

7. The rules are bad for fighting. It's depressing with all of these great fighters

Interesting point. How would you change the rules?

10, possibly 11.

I love schooling newbs on active legends like like Fedor, Wanderlei, etc.

I've been the reason many friends and family have gotten into watching MMA.

I love it, to say the least.

Been watching since UFC 1.

7. I love MMA just all my favorite fighters go old on me lol.

10, here I am shitposting on Sherdog telling other MMA dorks how excited I am.

There are more awesome moments that happen much more frequently than there used to be.

There are also more cards, more MMA news stuff, shit like that.

@Kick Strickland posting great threads.....

Much love to you, Codpiece!

A lot of my favorites are losing left and right but it's whatever because it's easy to find new exciting prospects and contenders. I think a lot of people convince themselves only the fighters they are fans of are allowed to have entertaining fights

Maybe Scott Coker can save it after he finishes stripping his champions and handing the belts out to 40+ year old former UFC fighters.

I hear he got rid of Will Brooks so he could afford Randy Couture and he stripped Minakov so Randy can win the belt.

6, but that's higher than any other sport. Just other things in my life.

 

[Which Doctor]

4 or 5 if we are talking overall product. If we are talking Conor vs Nate type moments, then yeah there are some 10 spots in there.

That's also an interesting point. And you're right.

That's pretty much me, too. Currently I'd even go as low as like a 3-4. With some 10 moments sprinkled in there.

10. Don't own the t-shirts but def a 10.

I'm surprised more people don't think of the self-defense/Street applications of MMA. It's a whole different sport when you look at it through that lense.
