Not here...but seems like it is getting more and more popular, especially around my neck of the woods.  I have watched it a few times but havent really gotten into it.

I know a couple guys who have been doing MMA for a number of years. One of them has had two fights in the UFC.

I started having UFC fight nights at my house. What started out as myself and three buddies has grown to about 20+ people. My wife started inviting her girl friends from karate class, then other couples from the neighborhood.

Because of summer schedule, we stopped having them, but are gearing up next month when UFC comes to Mpls.

My wife and I have a bunch of friends that are in MMA, specifically Strikeforce.  It's a good time going to watch them.

YES!!!  I love UFC like no joke man....Been watching all seasons of "The Ultimate Fighter" so far...Coming from a TaeKwonDo background, UFC has definitely made me want to become a more well rounded fighter.  In the future, I'm gonna mos def take up Jujitsu and other ground based martial arts.

cool. Good to see some other sly bros into it.
I use to take TaeKwonDo a LONG time ago and I am may look to get rolling again on it. I need to work on my flexibility...no high roundhouse kicks for me at this point !
That damn ultimate fighter show is what got me hooked ! Now I never miss an episode.
Ive seen 2 seasons so far and by far one of the most entertaining things Ive seen is Jared Rollins impression of Matt Serra. "Yeahhhhhhhh...your picking him apart George ! "

I'm a big fan of MMA, anyone checking out the Affliction fight card tonight?  Going to be an incredible night of fights.  One of the best cards ever put together.  UFC is having a freebie tonight also to try and blackball Affliction's first event. 
I've been doing jiujitsu for a few years, and really enjoy watching the grappling side.

I've been into MMA since the mid 90's... I can't get enough... todays fighter are FAR more technial than the fighters of "yesteryear" but the fights from the early days are GREAT..

I most likely won't order the Affliction fights tonight but will be watching the UFC fight night, I really hope  Irvin KO's Silva, he needs a good beating.. I usually rout for the underdog but in this fight I'm not so sure there is an underdog. Silva, The " Best pound for pound fight" the UFC has ever seen moving up a weight class against a dude who has some heavy ass hands ... Should be a barn burner...

I'm just can't waiting for Chuck Liddell to get his title shot after he beat evens into the ground . Liddell vs. Griffen... very good fight IMO.

Yes, I love watching UFC and K1. Have been thinking if it is something that I wanna get into but don't know really. Got a knee injury, that need to be fixed first and also got a lot of other sports that I want start with, when my knee get fit again.

Just loved myself as young when I did sports, floorball and 100m was my sports back then in high school and upper secondary school, but got a serious knee injury from playing floorball that I never dealt with until now, for any reason.

Georges St.Pierre is my favorite fighter in UFC though O0 and he is BBC too! O0

Yeah, I love it almost as much as football. Actually (whispers here), I sometimes like it a touch more.
I love knockouts, I love the grappling, the strategy behind fights, I like the drama between the fighters, and I LOVE good attitudes. I love to hate the guys that brag too much and act like they're a god.
