This topic is for those who watch the UFC. I'm pretty sure that's only me and Gaz. There were some great fights on Spike on Wednesday night. The Chris Leben fight was amazing. I'm looking forward to UFC 76 this Saturday night. Anyone else planning on watching it? Post your thoughts about the UFC here.

I voted that I'll only watch it if there's nothing else on. I'm a bit of an HD snob - i only like to watch programs that are in HD - and I haven't seen any UFC on any of the HD channels (except on Versus I think, but the show itself isn't in HD).
I'm just excited for Heroes to start up again.

I'm an HD snob too. The only time I don't watch the HD channels is when I'm watching Spike. The pay-per-view fights are broadcast in HD, but they're really expensive. I share the cost with my brother. I hope Spike gets an HD channel soon.
For those who chose the "What is the UFC" option: UFC stands for Ultimate Fighting Championship. It's a venue for mixed martial arts fighting. The contestants fight in an 8-sided cage. There are virtually no rules. Fighters can strike (kicks, punches, elbows, knees), wrestle, use judo and jujitsu and other martial arts disciplines. Regular fights consist of three, five minute rounds. Championship fights have five, five minute rounds. A fighter can win by knockout, technical knockout, submission, or judges scorecard. Fights in the US are regulated by the state's (usually Nevada or California) boxing commission. All the fighting is real...this is no WWF or TNA or whatever that crap is called.

I just don't care for it, honestly... Not much for me. I dunno, too much like gladiators. What's next, throwing lions in the ring as well? :P

They could make it like that Schwarzenegger movie Running Man. Give them chainsaws and stuff. ;)

Throw the Guvonator into the ring and I would watch that UFC (but there has to be at least 4 chainsaws available at all times, though.
