I just watched TUF3 on Spike Tv tonight with Matt Hamill who wants to be the first deaf UFC contender and be the first to make it to the "Octagon" ring. Should be an interesting season to watch and see the results. Also, somebody took up http://www.matthamill.com and parked it. Better hope that guy is friends with Matt to do that stunt.
At my gym where I work out, there are several people who are training for upcoming "UFC" type competitions here in New Mexico and Texas. I talk to them whenever they come out of their converted racquetball court sparring room to get a drink of water and discuss with me the injuries, fighting techniques, etc. I've even sparred with them a few times while I did my Aikido martial arts (since 1997) over there. My Aikido is hold right now while I do my strongman thing. But 90% of all fights usually go down to the ground. Little did they know about my background other than Aikido when they tried to spar with me. That's for you to find out. Rule #1 - Don't think you know everything about the person you're about to attack. But if I were younger, it might have been fun to try this type of mixed-martial art competition. But since when you get older, you have a harder time recovering from injuries. You start to feel it by your mid-30s. Even harder still to try and recover after a hard workout session.
