Are us TUF noobs now the seasoned longtime MMA fans?

[Garnet_StrongerThanYou]

I first got into MMA when I watched TUF 5 on Spike TV.

I thought it was awesome and I got all my friends to watch it and started ordering PPVs at my house.

I basically missed Pride. I came in at the end of it, and went back and watched a whole bunch of Pride fights and highlight reels on YouTube.

That was almost 12 years ago.

I order every pay per view and I trained off and on for a few years but never really got very far. I was taking training more seriously right before Covid but then Covid happened and my gym is shut down, probably forever.

I remember the hype behind Rashad and Rampage when they sold a million PPVs.

And I’m on Sherdog every day.

Are most people here from TUF?

I sure as hell didn’t watch UFC 1. I was a baby then.

 

[Megatronlee]

Yeah you’re a vet

 

[asdf122345]

Yes.

[Cid]

You're still noobs in my eyes.

 

[DarthChen731]

According to some people in a thread I was in earlier today no, we're old has beens who don't pay attention to the sport anymore, just yearn for the old days, and are no better than filthy casuals.

 

[HHJ]

lol I remember going to an air conditioned blockbuster and renting movies and video games and a big bag of chocolate clodhoppers.

My childhood.

Never forget my watching pride during the day with my dad and he’s like let’s check out this ultimate fighter show. I was maybe 10 years old then? I’m 28 now. He’d tell me stories of Royce Gracie being a legend, even at that time. What a ride man. Long live TUF.

Subject to all abuse by the Triple O.G.s

 

[Sharingan]

I think it was Pride/UFC vets, then TUF noobs, then FOX noobs. Now it's onto ESPN noobs?

 

[KOPPE]

Why are you always yellow carded

 

[Pizza Werewolf]

Depends on the season they start with.
I honestly dgaf when you started watching though.
If you are interested, entertained, and enjoying yourself, cool.
Have a blast.

 

[heavy_hands]

You're still noobs in my eyes.

yep

 

[Pastinaca1]

I feel bad for everybody that missed Pride. Pride was 10x the org UFC will ever be. Pride was real quality.

I hated going to blockbuster. My stone was always strong and their strip light brightness was always stronger. Fuck my eyes must have looked like the devils back when I was renting those UFC VHS tapes.

 

[Travis Alexander]

Blockbuster VJS was the fucking shit back in the day... me and my boys would be so excited when they released the new events.



also yes TS you and most of this thread are fucking noobs. You don’t even have the join date (or lurk date) of someone I would dub the monicker Tuf noob to.

 

[Rajon Rondo]

Where the Brock noobs at?

he brought us over as ex WWE fans

 

[SakurabasEar]

Yes, during my first account here 2009-2012, i was constantly referred to as a tuf noob becuase i only started watching after season 1.

Now i feel like I'm one of the oldest here in terms of actually the UFC. Times change my friends
