| Again, it depends on the preference and goal of the person.

| While I repsect the hard work and discipline that MMA artists put into perfecting their fighting skills, I do not feel that it is the ultimate in martial arts, nor do I think it personifies the martial arts as a whole. I do like the way the MMA incorporates skills from all styles, but history has shown that it's not the art, it's the artist that makes him/herself the best fighter. In a nutshell, whatever your style of choice, work hard and be the best you can be. Not for trophies or magazines articles, but for yourself. Scot W.

| I'm a TKD guy (not sport TKD) more of the ITF style of traditional. I use to compete in point sparring, I'm more of a coach now. I enjoy watching MMA....but it's a sport (aka not real). I do enjoy "the Ultamate Fighter" TV show on Spike. You get to know the fighters a bit better, and later down the line you can really get behind a fighter in a match. UFC, Pride and K1 have all come a long way in the last 10 years. BJJ does not dominate anymore, but let's see a fighter win without it (it's rare). Anyway, my thoughts.........

| I love UFC fights, whether it's the UFC or Ultimate Fighter show on Spike. This is what they do for a living...training, training, and then training for one fight. People like me who have a jobs that are not in the martial arts industry don't have the luxury to do that. So in that regard, it's great to see their determination. I love all kinds of martial arts (internal arts, traditional external arts, xma, or cage fighting). It amazes me the things we can make out bodies do.

| I watched Ultimate Fighter 3. Before seeing the 2 coaches, I respected Ken Shamrock and couldn't care less about Tito Ortiz. After the show, I find myself hating Shamrock for his arrogance, laziness, egocentric, and big mouth (guess he forgot Tito made his face look like raw hamburger from the last fight). I became very impressed with Tito's devotion to his team, trained with them, motivated them, and was never about him. The only thing I didn't like about Tito was his favoritism to that deaf guy (his fight ended up sucking!). So, for this fight on Saturday...I hope Tito cripples Shamrock and retire him for good.

| Traditional, but I've learned to enjoy MMA - now that BJJ does not rule anymore. I've pulling for Tito as well, but he seems to have an ego. I'm a big Matt Hughes fan, doesn't seem to shoot off his mouth then shuts everyone down in the ring.
