Sadly enough, I didn't start watching until Ken Shamrock appeared in the WWF. Before that I was unaware that MMA existed. I watched casually until Sylvia/Arlovski and Tito/Shamrock fought, which I think was somewhere around the end of 2006. Since then I've kept up with it pretty regularly. I'm mainly a UFC watcher, but made it a point to watch Pride(Until they went under), WEC, Dream, Affliction, Bodog(Until they shut down, I swear it's the Fedor curse.), Strikeforce, IFL(Also shut down?), Cage Rage(I think that they're shut down as well, haven't seen an event from them in a while.) and EXC().

So basically I'm a pro wrestling convert trapped in a man's body.
