Default G'day from sydney australia

Hey there........im a 40 year old ufc fan who became a fan of the ufc after watching the ultimate fighter......that was about a year ago now & ever since then i have been hooked......my fave fighter is keith jardine but mainly i am an admirer of anyone who fights in the ufc as it is such an amazing thing to watch & the fighters are as tough as they come.
Hopefully i can contribute to the forum in a positive way & meet some friends along the way.

Welcome to Fight Forum mate! It's great to see a fan from another country. I am sure you will like it here :-) Can you tell us about the exposure you have to the sport over there?

Welcome to FightForum Aussieufcfan!

Is there much of an MMA scene in Oz? I only know of a couple of fighters from there.

Hey there Opsy & mulla, there is not much media coverage of the UFC in Australia. We only started getting the UfC pay per views on cable when UFC68 was on so we are late starters. There is NOTHING covered in the newspapers or TV although Elvis Sinosic was recently on 1 of our Footy shows but the UFC didnt get a mention. The only way to get any news about the UFC is through ESPN on sportscenter & that is only when there is an upcoming pay per view. ESPN have Elite XL on once a week but that division is nothing like watching the UFC but i still watch it. Although since the explosion of the UFC in america we get more magazines on sale & there is actually an australian MMA magazine which mainly covers the UFC which is good. There is an MMA organization but we dont get many fights in sydney,maybe once a year but they are held reguarly in other states. Hope that answers your questions.
To the other guys that bid me welcome...........thank you for welcoming me.
