UFC 56: "Full Force"

For those of you interested in full-contact fighting / MMA (mixed martial arts)...you would have loved the PPV on last night. There were some awesome fights on the card. Rich Franklin vs. Nate Quarry, Georges St. Pierre vs. Sean Serk, Matt Hughes vs. Joe Riggs, Jeremy Horn vs. Trevor Prangley, and of course the undercard fights.

The UFC is blowing up by all measurable factors. SpikeTV's "The Ultimate Fighter" show has helped educate the masses, the live events continue to sell out, and MMA gyms are popping up all over. 2006 will be a very exciting year for MMA, as Dana White announced the comeback of some notable fighters to the UFC. Tito Ortiz & Ken Shamrock make their returns as well as being the hosts for the renewed season of TUF (The Ultimate Fighter 3). B.J. Penn and Frank Mir also make their own comebacks into the UFC.

The main event featuring Quarry (winner of the first TUF season finale) against the formidable and more experienced Frankin didn't come as much of a surprise. Just seeing the knockout however, was worth the price of the PPV alone. Yeah, this is definitely going to make the highlight reel...
