I will sit and watch fight videos for hours on end like it's my job. Anyone else do this? I'm a little concerned.


Also, if you have any links to good fights, feel free to post

Street fights. Like World Star Hip Hop hood fights.

I've seen every "Fight Comp of the Month" twice, at least

I guess we're the only two sick bastards who enjoy it.

No, for whatever reason I don't like watching dumb people... MMA, is ok, just not my cup of tea... But dumb people fighting, nope.

This.

Although there are a few videos where it's borderline attempted murder.

Ironically I'm watching one right now. 30 minutes long.

I get that, but I feel like it's part of the appeal. Like Roger said, maybe watching them makes me feel good about myself. I think I just have an infatuation with morbid/borderline grotesque glimpses of humankind at their worst moments.

Indeed, kind sir. I usually go to Liveleak for my gore, but this time it's on Youtube.

I've already seen a couple of 'em but I also saw a couple that I hadn't.

Getting knocked out in front of your girlfriend must suck. :(

Yeah, I've seen it.

Seriously, I don't think there is a fight video I haven't seen.

I was literally thinking before I saw your post: "Why do I keep watching these things so religiously?"

I had cut this one in half and came back to finish it off. I'll be waiting for the next installment eagerly.

In HS, when youtube first became really popular, I was obsessed with them. I'd watch them hours on end back-to-back-to-back. Haven't watched any in ages though.

don't get me wrong, I'm not judging those that watch it... that's just why I don't watch it...

It's the same reason I don't watch Honey Boo Boo... nor do I keep up with the Kardashians. I'd rather watch a documentary and learn something... or at least it be something funny without humans being outright idiots... I do enjoy america's funniest home videos in which a lot of dumb people hurt themselves... but usually they were trying to do something fun or push themselves in someway... not just be an angry stupid jackass.

I use these videos as a teaching device not only to my girlfriend but some people that I instruct on self-defense. You can learn a whole lot from watching those videos.

you can learn more from watching a MMA fight or self defense videos.

A lot of fight videos are 99% talk and 1% BOOM! At least in my experience.
