I think the old fights were funny to watch, and certainly made for good highlight clips but I think now it is more of a true sport with real athletes, there is an occasional bogus fight but I like it allot better than watching some slob like tank abbot swing wildly for 10 seconds then gasp for breath the rest of the time if he didn't get a lucky KO. A few years ago I was living in Louisana for grad school and one night stumbled on an actual fight club-like the movie, it was very similar to old ufc and incredibly entertaining/surreal, basically a bunch of angry rednecks who took a few karate classes trying to re-enact what they saw on tv, one guy even had the karate kid headband.
