Ultimate Fighting
One of my favorite things to do for entertainment is watch Ultimate Fighting. For those of you who don't know what Ultimate fighting is, I'll explain. It's basically every different type of martial artist competing against each other in hand to hand combat. It's very exciting and exhilarating and I will admit very brutal at times.
Like boxing opponents can be knocked out but unlike boxing, once an opponent has been knocked out or the referee decides that the opponent can't go on the fight is stopped, there is no 8 count and they only wear 4 oz gloves. Boxers use 14 oz gloves. They can kick too and there is no padding on there feet so if someone connects with a kick it's usually over.
Along with boxing there is grappling or wrestling too. Most of the men who are grapplers' are well versed in different types of pins, holds and arm bars or locks. This can easily result in a broken arm or an opponent being choked out from behind if the grappler gets behind their opponent and puts enough pressure on there neck they pass out... game over.
These Men who compete in Ultimate Fighting know very well what they are getting into. They are aware of the dangers and the consequences. Despite the facts I think these men are drawn to this because of the mental and physical challenges that it offers. One on one and the man who uses his brawn with his brains the best, will win.

I agree! what is even better is you don't have any of the "male soap opera" nonsense like you do with pro wrestling! UFC is simple, healthy (sort of), competition where you can see the different forms of martial arts compete against each other.
