I will be making some blog threads on my obsession with MMA now, reviews mostly or talking about certain PPVs since I am getting bored of these "this person .vs. that person" threads.
Anyways, I can't help but talk about old school UFC mainly 1-22 because I love that era and I think it was more enjoyable and less predictable than the new era.
I must admit I like violence, UFC 1-10 basically allowed anything from low blows to downward elbows. People being cut like they were hit with an axe or KOd. Nowadays it seems like more decisions or TKO Strikes rather than the KOs.
Have you seen a Tank .vs. John Matua recently? Gary Goodridge on Paul Herrera? Yes we saw a nice KO at UFC 65 from Antoni Hardonk to Sherman Pendergarst but before that I couldn't really remember unless you count Anderson .vs. Franklin a KO which in my opinion wasn't as nice as the old school UFC KOs. It seems like there is one KO every 3 PPVs unlike the old UFC where there was a KO every PPV, maybe even two.
But the rules have changed, yes now more tactical fighters. But I think violence make things a little more exciting, one strong bastard like Mark Kerr KOing a weakling like Greg Stott rather than an even battle.
After UFC 22 it seemed like it fell off the map, never heard from again but bounced back at UFC 30 which is one of my favourite eras.
What do you all think about the old UFC compared to nowadays? Feel free to debate, I'm having a shitty day as I broke my tailbone...
