Been a fan since 08 was able to meet Chuck, Tito, Tim Sylvia, Andre Arlovski this sport has been apart of my whole life. My father went to the ogs back in 90s down in Mississippi and Alabama this sport means so much to me and started a whole family who’s fans of fighting and wrestlers and grapplers. The sport was so much simpler then and cheaper to watch lol but I’m so happy how far this sport has come and give it another 10 or so years it will be the most popular sport in the world. Thank you UFC

The only sad thing about being heavily engrossed with MMA since the nineties (around 7 years old) is there is little to learn from videos like these anymore. The other day I watched over an hour long "iceberg" video on mma/ufc and learned NOTHING new. I started to wish I had never heard of MMA because I miss those days when I was younger and there was still that mysterious, unique element. Becoming a mega fan slowly can be so fun sometimes and you start to lose that magic after a few decades 😔

Forest Griffins story should really be a movie. Being a Cop and probably hating it, an average Joe. Nothing special about him at all. Then get that random opportunity and running hard with it. Eventually rising up against all odds and becoming champion. While still be that ordinary guy that everyone can relate too. Forest Griffin was such a story, someone should make a movie out of it.
