Which circuits were you watching back then? I enjoyed the asian stuff (pride/rings/k1/dream) substantially more than early NA/UK promotions. The late 2000s early 2010s it became obvious the NA (and ufc/strikeforce) was the dominant market.
I havent really paid attention the last couple years myself. The focus on short term hype and serialization (ultimate fighter) over sport became a bit much for me.
- seanalltogether 10y agoI only watched it casually at the bars back then, but it was really that I found I couldn't identify with the "Tapout" culture of MMA then. You can say I was being a snob, but it didn't appeal to me. Nowadays I just feel like things are operating at a higher caliber, the commentators, the post fight analysis, the fighters themselves, and I'm way more engaged now.
