| Yeah I looking at you, whether we agree on shit doesn't matter, what does is we've all been with the sport for years/decades, well 1.5ish. Why am I saying this? Because with MMA/UFC on Fox/FX the sport will grow to be bigger then ever. With that will come new fans which is great no doubt for the sport, amazing really, but will become annoying at times for us long time fans. You know what I'm talking about, "water cooler" type talk with the guy wearing a UFC shirt who has no clue what Pride is, that type of shit. | |

| Just like BE and many other people have pointed out. This growth comes with risk. But just like everyone here I'm hoping everything works out for the best and MMA becomes bigger then ever. | |

Not sure if this doesn't mean as much for you, but UFC on FOX is HUGE here in the US. Yeah it makes no difference here as Foxtel is the major cable provider here and they are owned by Fox. The UFC has been on Fuel channel here for years already. |

Did he pretend to know or did he make it clear "I just like this shirt"? | |

Did he pretend to know or did he make it clear "I just like this shirt"? I had a Master Sargent at WPAFB ask me, "what's with the tapout shirts mark, whats the deal?" I said "It a brand of shirts that fans of mma like to wear" He says "So what's it mean? Does it mean you like to fight people" and I couldn't believe it. So I explain that yes I(at the time he said this to me) trained mma and liked sparring and fighting but I'm not the kind of guy that just get into fights on the street at the drop of a hat(I lied). I said to him then "You don't think I'm an asshole or something cause I'm wearing this do you?" He said No but I could tell he did. He thought I was an asshole punk just because I wore a tapout shirt. | |

Did he pretend to know or did he make it clear "I just like this shirt"? He knew simple stuff, like some big names. If I got semi detailed I'd lose him, I was nice though, told him some good upcoming fights to watch. He did say he just liked the shirt to though | |

He did say he just liked the shirt to though If someone just likes the style then I won't hate. But if they think wearing that shirt makes them tough or if they start speaking out of their ass, I'm all over them lol | |

I don't get that, just because I wear my Dallas Cowboys t-shirt doesn't mean I'm an aspiring QB. It means that is what I enjoy and what I support. | |
