Before my time. The first fight I ever saw was Forrest Griffin vs. Stephan Bonner. I was flipping through channels and saw them walking to the ring and just stopped to watch it. After I watched it I thought to myself "HOLY SHIT THIS AMAZING." and thought all fights were like that.
Saw some fights here and there when a couple of my friends who were really into it used to buy the occassional pay per view, but didn't really get fully into UFC/MMA until around UFC joined Fox and they had their first live card on it (probably 2011). Now I'm Hooked.
