Your friend wants to start watching UFC what's the first fight you show them?

[jeskola]

Overrated bum fight, he can watch something similar outside his local bar.

The guy is new to MMA, you think a technical BJJ battle will make him a fan? Is he going to go "wow look at those guard passes and chained sub attempts!"? wild bum fight is perfect, it's why this fight is credited for taking MMA to new heights.

I guess, but I still wouldn't pick that one, I'd go with this one, just as wild but with more technique, more variety of strikes, and ends in an epic climax finish.

 

[Aluminati]

Keith Hackney vs Emmanuel Yarborough
Pat Smith vs Scott Norris
Wanderlei Silva vs Kazushi Sakuraba 1

 

[Vehap1]

Dominic Reyes vs Jon Jones, so he knows the truth

Do you mean the power of steroids??

Overeem vs Lesnar and then Overeem post USADA is something....

 

[liner]

Diaz gomi. What a fight

 

[DrunkMonkMeth]

Hollaway gaejthe.. many great fights but this is the one

 

[TempleoftheDog]

Quite literally.. The next card.

Are you going to show some fight where the fighter has been retired for a long time?

And unless you are smart enough to prefice the thing.

What’s the point?

That’s not reality. That is probably not what you will see on the next card. Mind you..

Alex might knock Ankalaev silly.

Which will probably be very entertaining.

 

[jsbx45]

Tyson Griffen/Frankie Edgar, Leonard Garcia/Roger Huerta, Hendo/Shogun, izzy Kelvin. Chandler/Alvarez in Bellator.

 

[Hank Grill]

Alonzo Mansfield last fight. And if that doesn't work they just won't ever like combat sports there is a reason that warrior got performance of the night

No, the power of bad judging

 

[Xanzito]

Silva x Griffin, easily

 

[Dr Fong]

The collective amnesia on Lawler vs Rory 2 persists. The first two rounds are complete garbage and the crowd was hating it.

Best way to immediately kill interest in MMA rather than gain a fan. By the time the fight turns awesome, you will have lost them.

Which is probably for the best, as trying to convince people to potentially end up posting in places like Shitdog is just trying to grab ankles while you circle the drain.

 

[CasualBot]

Kalib Starnes vs Nate Quarry


Duh

 

[Lord Pyjamas]

nothing
if he is to weak to find it himself
he should not be here

 

[The_Renaissance]

Awesome fight. They get into it right away. A complete mma fight too. Everything on display from both guys. Big shifts in momentum. Big comeback. Big finish. Everything you could ask for.

Yeah they displayed all aspects of MMA and big momentum shifts in a short space of time, perfect encapsulation of the sport for a complete newbie.
