Zzzz. One of the most crushingly boring motorsports IMO.
Nascar, TOCA, WRC, or British Superbikes are my favs. I do, however, like the new Chinese circuit, that looks the bomb.

meh k1 is a bit lame imo, boxing is tougher (not just 3 rounds for instance, also it basically comes down to kickboxing, im not the biggest expert though)

There isn't a boxer alive that could go 3 rounds in this tournament. I prefer UFC and Pride rules to K-1, but preferr all 3 to boxing- and I'm a big boxing fan.

UFC is the best in my book. I do feel there is a slight bias towards grappling and submissions (compared to real no holds barred fighting) in shootfighting and similar style competitions, but it's still very good and a good indication of who is a better fighter.
I also agree even the best boxers would be torn to bits in it. I'm definately of the opinion Bruce Lee could of had Muhammad Ali in a fight.

I think Pride has a deeper talent pool than UFC- but I love fights in the octagon.
I've never seen a shoot fighting competition, but love the technical aspect of submission fighting and ju jitsu. Once you understand that they aren't trying to fuck eachother when they're rolling on the canvas and know the difference between an arm bar and a kimura the sport takes on a whole new dimension that makes boxing seem simplistic in comparison.

Pride is far better than UFC, the no head kicks rule is crap.

You can head kick- just not a downed opponet.

I think it is funny that Pankration nearly became an exhibition Olympic sport for the Greek olympics and then the Olympic board saw it.....

It's really less brutal than professional boxing where a fighter gets knocked the fuck out and as long as he can stand before a ten count they let him get knocked the fuck out again- not to mention the 300plus brain rattling jabs boxers endure each fight.
The blood is what turns alot of people off about mma.
