So I'm starting this poll to provide the amount of information most people want out of the MMA section of Sports Two. I know there's a few of us who follow every fairly large MMA event around the world and there are casual fans who watch free MMA and some UFC. I don't want to post news items on here that are of little interest to most fans and I don't want to skip over events that fans want to know about either. So I'd just like to know how much MMA coverage are you looking for? This will also help me to add the right events to help the Pick'em league grow as well. Suggestions, ideas, feedback of any kind is appreciated as I'd like to get more active posters in this section of sports two. thanks all for reading and replying.
For me, it's any big org in the world. If there are 'known' fighters there I want to hear about it. WVR has takanori Gomi, Josh Barnett and a few other big named fighters so I want to see and hear about the Results DREAM Just finished an amazing LightWeight grand prix with 8 of the best LW's in the world in it and are about to finish their Middleweight grand prix next month. Any big org with big names in North America, is of course a must for me. If you've read the news I've posted, it's because I'm interested in this news.
well that's harcore then CK!! I should have said any org anywhere, but in all honesty I follow the bigger ones first and foremost and make time for the others if I have time. But with Football (NFL) and Basketball as well as a family now, I can't watch ever event.

I will watch pretty much anything when it comes to MMA and I try and stay on top of the game. I know most of what is going on with the major promotions and I watch what I can of the smaller ones. The really obscure ones, like Finnfight and URCC, I don't get to watch, but I would check them out if they were on TV.

It's about a 30 minute drive from here. Go check it out and let us know how it goes. I hear that their other piece of clothing are a speedo and rollerblades.
I watch the matches if they are free, usually UFC. A good way to do this is to find a local sports bar that buys the pay per view. Hot wings, fries, beer, and fighting.

It's FREE. It's a nice collection of old cable cars, old pictures of the city from the early days, films, and other history information. There was a huge earthquake in the early 1900's, which caused the whole city to burn down. The photographs are crazy. I also learned how cable cars actually work, and saw the huge spool of cable that pulls them across the city. Small museum, costs nothing to go in. Not well known, but very interesting.
I chose anything in North America, because I will catch the occaisional WEC, Affliction or EliteXC card. Or sometimes just watch a couple of fights from the card. Basically mine would be mainly UFC, and a dozen or two fights that happen on other cards in WEC, Affliction or EliteXC.

I mainly just watch the big promotion's, I'm not even real sure what channel's to find the smaller one's. I really like the WEC because it seem's to be the fastest paced fight promotion of them all, and the most exciting fights tend to be put on there. Pulver/Faber, and probably the damndest fight I have ever seen, Condit/Miura were some bad ass fight's. Mainly, like CelticFan, between Basketball,Football, Baseball, whatever my wife watch's, it's hard to keep up with the smaller fighting promotion's. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (The Return of the Raider @ Jul 25 2008, 09:03 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>I watch the matches if they are free, usually UFC.

Free fight's, Wing's, Beer, Fighting, sports, everything you want is in there. I personally really like the Asian Zing, great stuff. Going there this saturday, hell half of watching the UFC for me, is just getting an excuse to go to Buffalo Wild Wing's.
