The Best of Ultimate Fighting on Satellite TV

There's nothing like the rush of adrenaline that comes when you're watching Ultimate Fighting. Of course, it's not everyone's cup of tea. In fact, most people, or at least a fair majority probably find the sport debauched and rather over the top. I'd chance it to say that many wouldn't even say this belongs in any real sports category. But, you have to admit, there is an allure in the rough and tumble action that goes down during a match. It's bloody and gruesome especially in HD, but hey, it's also kind of glorious.

Ultimate Fighting isn't in any way lyrical. IT's not the kind of thing you see exalted in literary prose; it's not classy, not elegant and definitely not refined. Matches come with your fair share of drama and masquerading, the kind that makes wrestling so entertaining and cheesy at the same time.

The crown of the sport is the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Each fight consists of a sordid blend of boxing, wrestling and jujitsu, for the most part, although, fighters are free to bring in a little bit of Thai kick boxing, a side of Wushu, a dose of judo, kickboxing, and whatever else they feel like dishing out at the moment. A lot of people think that Ultimate Fighting is an all out do or die affair. Sometimes fighters will 'tap out', but no one really dies. They get hurt and tired and bloody, and you can enjoy it all in gory HD detail.

The fighters of this popular fight club are of the gruff sort, they are wizened and tattooed. They bulge and pop in all directions; a lot of them have beards and many are completely bald, to complete the tough man look, I suppose. While this isn't exactly the NFL Sunday Ticket, Ultimate Fighting does have its own specials. Many of the great fights are shown on pay-per-view. Still others are shown exclusively on satellite TV.

If you've never had the enlightening experience of watching one of these matches, you should. It's a full throttle spectacle that gets your heart pumping. From the fast paced quips and comments coming from host and comedian Joe Rogan, to the spew of bright commentary coming from various fighters during docu-style interviews, right down to the kicking and gut punching itself, it all accumulates into a one of a kind experience. You might not like the bombast of it all. You may be disgusted by the blood and bulging veins and even the breaking bones. In fact, you'll probably shield your eyes at some point, or look away grimacing, but eventually you'll be cheering the fighters on, wishing them the best, hoping that they will crush their opponents.

Ultimate Fighting, has been compared to the spectacles of yore, in ancient Rome, when lions were pitted against dwarves and unarmed men. It's not that cruel, these men are trained after all. The fights are brutal, indeed; but once you start watching, it's hard to stop. Try it for yourself.
