Hi! I´ve been following MMA now and then and K1 more but now after seeing TUF on tv and UFC nights plus UFC Unleashed I´m totally sold and new fan of the UFC! :yo:
So all you experts can you tell some good UFC sites, blogs and forums not to miss out!?
Thanks in advance!

http://www.mmaweekly.com
http://www.sherdog.com (stay away from their forums though)
http://fiveouncesofpain.com/
http://www.cagepotato.com/
http://www.fightlinker.com/
are all decent. The first four are more straightforward news sites, while the latter two are a bit more tongue-in-cheek.

Agreed on the list, stay the F away from Sherdog's forums unless you like interacting with 14 year old tough guys.
I'll add a few other of my favorites.
www.bloodyelbow.com (my personal fave, fans there are for the most part very educated and well thought out)
www.mmamania.com (another good site, about to be added to the SB nation, of which bloodyelbow is a part) Though stay away from the posters, some of them are stupid as all getup.
www.ninjashoes.com sort of a cool place to see some stuff that may or may not get picked up by the other sites.
http://www.mixedmartialarts.com/mma.cfm?go=forum.splash&forum=1 Lots of fighters and Dana White himself actually post there. Though it can be a bit juvenile at times.
And another good source for news (of course IMHO) is http://sports.yahoo.com/mma now they aren't going to have anything groundbreaking or brand new but they do tend to have some good write-ups. Cofield and Iole I think post some good articles although some will say they pander to Dana and Co.
Also do yourself a favor and check out old Pride videos, don't limit yourself to only the UFC, MMA is a worldwide sport and the UFC is only a part (albeit a large part) of the equation.
Personally I miss Pride, Pride rules, Pride introductions, Pride's Ring, The Pride Lady, and last but definitely not least the Pride crowd. Speaking in generalizations they seemed to understand and appreciate MMA as a whole rather than two guys standing and punching.
Anywho, welcome to MMA man, enjoy the ride, post here often as we've got a really great set of people here that may not always agree but for the most part everyone's thoughts are well thought out!
Cheers and beers!

Agreed x 2. Sherdog Forums are the equivalent of cyber diarrhea without the toilet paper.
www.mmamania.com (another good site, about to be added to the SB nation, of which bloodyelbow is a part) Though stay away from the posters, some of them are stupid as all getup.
This and junkie are probably my favourites.

These are the blogs I can only get at work. They're pretty good. On the same site as bloodyelbow.com.
