Just saw the live conclusion of The Ultimate Fighter TV show on Spike TV last night. The highlight for me was the match between Stephan Bonnar and Forrest Griffin, the two light heavyweights. It's rare to see such a slugfest go the distance in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), but these guys were apparently bound and determined to prove to the other and to the world that they could go toe-to-toe with anyone... Take all their opponent can dish, and give it right back. What an exciting fight! Both fighters attempted at least one ground submission, but the fight always came back to striking.
MMA has become wildly popular since the first UFC in 1993, and with such a good live show last night, will likely become even more mainstream.

I've heard incredible things about that fight. It's good to see local boy Forrest Griffith make it big.
I wasn't able to see it Saturday, but luckily someone Tivo'ed it for me. I'll watch it with the next UFC event this weekend!
