I've always been more into the arts (i.e., film, music, literature, etc.) and aside from the occasional viewing here and there (like the Bulls playoffs when Michael Jordan was around), MMA is the only sport I watch and really care about.
This means I went about 25 years into life and FINALLY found a sport that was actually interesting to me... am I the only one here or do the rest of you all watch football, basketball, hockey, baseball etc.
Embarrassingly, I also grew up on the WWF so maybe MMA is just an extension of that (in other words, maybe I just want to see a realistic pro wrestling gig).
Oddly enough, I actually ordered UFC number one, but I didn't get into it until the ultimate fighter's third season.

As I get older (19 as of today) I am starting to lose more and more interest in other sports besides MMA. Like you I used to love WWF when I was a kid. When I saw my first MMA event (Chuck vs Tito 2) I have always loved it. The only sport that has any meaning to me now is college football, because I have always been such a huge Oklahoma Sooners fan.

You ain't alone.
I watched WWE from childhood 'til 14/15 but that's about it. Thought boxing was boring. Played basketball for a period as a teen but never watched. For football I like to play Madden on 360 here & there but I only watch the Super Bowl and have actually missed the last 3, not counting NY/NE. Getting into sports has always been kind of mindless to me, like, you're only bouncing/throwing/catching a ball, big deal, what's there to marvel over?. So I always preferred literature & music as hobbies. Until I got into MMA 3 years ago.

I played many sports throughout my youth and now at 31 I still play ice hockey, snowboard/ski 90days a year and golf a ton while also playing and creating music. Used to be a huge graph head but once I hit 25 years old the idea of having a criminal record over art got old. I still love it as a medium though and recently got into acrylic painting. Between work and everything else I have going on painting receives very little attention.
As I get older I watch more and more hockey. As a youth I was either playing sports or skateboarding with very little 'watching'. Vancouver Canucks games are a huge social scene for me during the season and if international hockey is on we get 20 or so people together to watch.

For the biggest part yeah, I have not been much of a sports watcher ever actually, played em all just never got into watching them much. I will watch the occassional OKC Thunder game or OSU football game and maybe the Super Bowl and if NCAA or other high level wrestling is on I definitely watch it, outside those few instances though you seldom find sports on my tube.

MMA and football are my two sports I watch religiously. I was a football player and wrestler back in the day.
Baseball- I watch occasionally, never the whole game, go to a couple games live to kick back and drink a couple beers.
Basketball- I'll go with clients/work only, never watch except NCAA tourney usually.
Hockey- Watched a little of the Stanley Cup b/c of the Blackhawks.
Extreme Sports- That show Nitro Circus is pretty crazy.

Mma, I used to be hardcore into baseball now I really just focus on my phillies and worry about the other teams towards this time of year in the playoff hunt.
I'll watch any and all football games in season not counting preseason.
This year I started really paying attention to soccer as well. So that's taken acme time away from baseball. But those are the 4 I follow fairly closely.

OMG I knew eventually I had to run into a dang OU fan on the board, like fleas on a camel yall are everywhere. :lol: My blood runs Orange and Black though and always has due to being a wrestling fan first and foremost, as well as the fact that OSU has more combined NCAA titles than all but two schools in the nation and neither of those two are OU
Still good to see another Okie on the board.

I love the Sooners and Bob Stoops, but OSU wins better jersey any day of the week

I thought that's what being a Junkie is all about!
I got my profession, gf (my kid for now is our chihuahua) then with family & friends & hobbies, I still have time for MMA because I find & make time for it, need time for it.
