What are your favourite sports?

Personally I am a fan of Football, thats Soccer to your Americans though!

Despite being absolutely devoid of macho, I find I enjoy a good MMA match. Followed boxing, too, but that was years ago. Never been interested in other sports, to be honest.

UFC!

And basketball, though I do not follow it.

I notice a trend, because mma is probably my favourite sport as well, although I generally prefer the Japanese orgs to the UFC.

Also up there at pretty much the same level are boxing, rugby and football/soccer.

Quote from: consortium11 on March 24, 2009, 02:55:01 PMI generally prefer the Japanese orgs to the UFC.

You mean like Pride or K1? Or are there some others I hadn't heard of?

Pride's actually defunct now (got bought by the UFC a year or two back).

The big two Japanese Orgs are Dream (run by a combination of ex-Pride staff and FEG who replaced their Romanax/Hero series with it) and Sengoku, both of which are solid orgs.

K1 itself is just doing kickboxing now (although as said above, FEG helps run Dream)

However, personal favourites are the smaller ones: Deep, Pancrase, SHOOTO and ZST (which is probably my favourite org ever).

Outside of that, as a Brit I'm obviously a big fan of the UK orgs and there's a lot of quality European mma out there.
