i think that UFC shit is just an excuse for a fight ...

the only thing that seperates it from pub car park scrapping is the commentary ...

That's basically what it was from the very start, yeah. Amazing how you saw right through that...

edit: And here come the google ads advertising martial arts crap...

I love the Japanese crowds, so much more respectful then the American's who just want it to slug, goes to the ground and people start using their Jui Jitsu skills it's all boo's.

Been wondering though, what do the Japanese think about the UFC buyout of Pride?

I sorta find it creepy how quiet the Japanese crowd is during the Pancrase events...it's literally dead silent all the time, expect for a few gasps during takedowns. Not like the American crowds where people are constantly yelling "Fuck him up!!! Fuck him up man!!"

I don't really care about the buyout though...it's all the same stuff anyway, and I never pay-per-view the stuff, I just YouTube it 'cause I'm a cheap web 2.0 bastard.

Christ are you fucked.

Can you not understand it's the American audience which is WAAAAY out of line. The Japanese audience is watching an ancient sporting art form which they understand.

There's the difference.

For the record, I never said the Japanese crowd is doing something wrong and the Americans are doing it propa'. I just mentioned that I'm not used to it as I've never experienced it before. Do you remember a time in high school where half the school was watching a scuffle in dead-silence? Me neither...

OK, point taken. Let's just say the same event is interpreted differently by the two cultures. No offence meant.
