Ever stop watching MMA?

Ever been a period in your life where you watched the sport more than others? I remember renting VHS tapes back in school and watching them when our parents weren't around. Having to hide the shit. The dark ages man. Then death metal, pot, bitches and college became more important, but later in 2003 I bought the UFC video game for PS2 and got back into the sport casually, but then I started following Pride when by boss got the CC-Fedor card. Pride fanboy born. Then I sort of went dormant again, casually following until the merger. Then I watched endless fights. Countless hours of fights. But after Shogun got beat, I swore off MMA, assuming Dana had somehow fixed all the Pride fighters UFC fights so they'd lose. Didn't pick up again for a solid three or four months. I think the NYE show where Fedor fought Choi was what brought me back. Since then I've watched thousands of fight hours. It's a disease now quite frankly.

UFC owns Pride

They quite literally do. But tell that to TUF winner Michael Bisping.
