I was only about 8 or 9 when the first UFC aired. However, I was able to see quite a few UFC events around that age. I would have to say I became a serious fan about five or six years later in 98/99.

my fanaticism began with PRIDE 13 in 2001. i was only 10 years old and i had no idea who any of the fighters were except renzo gracie. my dad made me watch it (thank god he did) because i was studying JJ at the time and he wanted to show me what professional martial artists looked like. i remember watching vitor secure a beautiful rear naked choke on a black guy, i think it was bobby southworth now that i start to think about it. also remember hendo beating renzo gracie because i was rooting for renzo based on the fact that he did JJ, but i was to be disappointed as henderson KOed him pretty fast.
from then on i started to watch MMA as much as i could and developed a passion for the sport by age 13. now i am 16 and live and breathe MMA.

I started as a fan of K-1, my dad always used to watch it with me, and i was always a huge fan of Andy Hug...so 2001 came about and k-1 was having an andy Hug memorial event, and Mirko was making his MMA debut in that event against Fujita, after that i started watchhin MMA a bit more, and the rest is history.

I've been watching since UFC 1.I was in third grade at the time I believe.Royce became my heroe after that.People always talked about Bruce Lee,Van Damme,Norris,Seagul,etc,when I was a kid,but I always would just say Royce Gracie would beat all those guys.
Then they would look at me funny and say; "who's Royce Gracie?

At least you're honest.
