Hey there,

I'm totally new to this, just watched a game at a friend's house the other day and enjoyed it. So I wanna start following UFC, but want a little background first. Is there anything to read/watch that would bring me up to date ? Like classic past games, major players in the past and the present, players with a unique style, etc ... a DVD or something that I could buy and quickly catch-up would be great :)

PS : I also wanted to know, is this 100% real ? Like no staging, no money involved whatsoever ?

The UFC isn't really the kind of thing you can be updated on, also it's all legit. I believe their was a DVD with the top 100 fights on it.

UFC is just 1 promoter of Mixed Martial Arts theres also Strikeforce, Dream and a few others but the UFC is the main one now before the main one was Pride before the UFC bought them out.

Yeah I have bought that one, but it's more targeted at people that already know what's going on and just want to have a fancy archive. My "problem" is that when I sit now to watch a game and everybody is going "Oh my god ! This is the game of the century, I HAVE to watch this :woot: " i'm like "Huh ? Why ? :huh: ". It would be great if there was a place with big games and their context, major players with their style and eveything, etc ... :/

Yeah, just start watching the evens that are monthly/bi monthly and pick fighters that you like. That's how I did it, I still don't know very much about it but I know enough to understand what's going on. Also like with anything the more you watch the more you'll understand.

Also if you decide to watch pay per views online don't use the stupid ufc smooth stream one, go with Yahoo Sports, it's much better. :angry:

    • No, it doesn't, but I'm sure you don't just mean compile when you say compile.
    • Wine is a translation layer, not an emulator. And there are many cases where performance is worse or BETTER under Proton, it really depends on the game in question.

    • Give me an example of Microsoft "don't like something from you" so "you simply get locked down"? I am all for government using Linux and open source software but no need to make stuff up.
