When did you start watching mma ?

[Dana's Moonface]

Around year 2000, was already watch boxing in 89 as a 5 year old

 

[Epicman1324]

Had a minor interest since the Rashad/Rampage TUF season, watched a card on Fox or FS1 here and there, became a hardcore after UFC 189.

[CHUTE_BOXE78]

I started seeking out full contact combat sports in 86 or 87. I had a large amount of vhs cassettes with just random fight orgs of any and all disciplines. They were given to me by my dad's friend Ben Urquidez. I think his wife name was Sara and his daughter Monique. But I kind of remember a chat he and my papa had, about Ben maybe fighting one of the Gracie's but it never happened. So I have been around it and been watching it for a little while

2010. Phil Davis made me fall in love with the sport

Probably the first and only time these words have been used together

[VodkaDrunkenski]

Watched UFC 1 at high school, then properly hooked at Ortiz v Shamrock 1

 

[Canadian Kicker]

Back in the 90's I would rent the odd VHS UFC/Pride video when they had them available. But I didn't start really paying attention, waiting for events and watching live until around the TUF era.

 

[Sir Punchalot]

1994, UFC 2. Had been doing martial arts / combat sports since 1986, and boxing had become my main competitive sport. The UFC and what the Gracies did was a real revolution. Didn't take us long to get our hands on some BJJ VHS tapes, to put it that way.

 

[Mickey Mick]

First PPV I bought was UFC 92, after watching UFC 91 at a bar in Montreal shortly beforehand.

 

[Amorak]

I don't know the era...
I was training MMA, and heard people talking about it, so I started looking for it.
The first one I've watched was Pride 27, the one Mark kerr knocked himself out.

But the card was stacked. (Murilo) Rua, Cro Cop, Kharitonov, Vovchanchyn, yamamoto, Crazy Horse.... good old days where cards were memorable!

Just enjoy the Ride

I read about UFC1 in a newspaper and was very curious about it but I had no access to it. Finally saw the first UFCs in 97, but really got into MMA in 2002 with Pride

 

[DagOban**]

Rented UFC 1 2 3 on vhs.
