lol...OOC Nikolai, OOC!
Well I'm one of the Admin's so I guess I'll go first
My name is Kedo(Kiddo) Wonlin, 19 from Maryland and obviously, Im a fan of Mixed Martial Arts. I first got to liking MMA by playing UFC Throwdown (Yes, bad game, I know...I should say that I got into the UFC by the way it came on, the Throwdown Entrance Video) I went into the game a wrestling fan, so ofcourse I was looking to find Ken Shamrock. Instead, I found Frank Shamrock.(who would later become one of my favorites) What sealed the deal however was TUF 1 because at the time I was already going back and purchasing past MMA fights and DVD's, so this couldntve come at a better time.
I was always into fighting, so when I found legal fighting (because boxing limits a fighter so much) it immediately drew me in. Hanging out on the TUF Forum is where I met Brad Utterstorm, one of the NHB Sim creators who told me about NHB Sim, I think it was 0.95. Anyway, playing that for a while led me to Chris, who was the owner of the previous IMMAF. The name was so generic that it just led me to it, I loved the idea so much I had to become a part of it. I threw a couple of ideas here and there, he kinda brushed them off, never gave me a chance lol. Then I got word that he was closing the IMMAF down.
The Ultimate time waster was going to be shut down?! Nobody really wanted to step up to the plate and we were losing members left and right, so I took control of the IMMAF. Tystick took my spot as the guy with the ideas who always gets turned down. (lol I'm joking, I never turn down ideas, give me a bag of Cheetos and Im a good guy.) and rounded up all the previous members who didnt have their emails blocked and some of them came back (Mitch Armour, fallindown and a few others).
This is how we got to where we are today. All my ideas I've turned into reality...ish, along with others...though I'm thinking we may need a new color scheme...I might make several for members to choose from.

My name is Dr. Richard Kimble. I came home one night to find that my wife was murdered. I saw the murderer trying to escape; while he was running away I ripped his arm clean off. When the police came they thought I commited the murder, and they arrested me. I was found guilty by a jury of 12 angry men. While I was being shipped in a train to prison, something incredible happened. A prisoner stabbed the enginer with a screwdriver and we crashed. I escaped from the carrier. I must be a bad doctor, because rather than helping the hundreds of people who needed medical attention at the crash, I opted to trip in a mud pit. Now I travel the country, getting involved in people's lives, taking odd jobs, trying to catch that one armed bastard, and repeatedly getting into close calls with the law. This sets the stage for other men like me, like the Incredible Hulk.

True about me: My username was not inspired by people falling down, but actually the 1993 Michael Douglas movie " Falling Down". My name used to be FallingDown, but now it's Fallindown because of a typo.

My name is T.L. Grant, and I am an alcoholic.
Just kidding, but not really. Anyways, I'm 17 and live in Kansas. I can't recall when I first got into UFC, but it was sometime into the mid-late 90's (yes even if I was really young) I watched UFC 4 with my brother and his friends on VHS. From there we got other VHS tapes, but we never really ordered any PPV's until UFC 41 (Where dissapointingly Tank was tapped out REALLY fast by Mir).
I just found the IMMAF eventually, and I thought it was a cool place. It really blew when Chris said it was shutting down, and of course me and Mizfit wanted to keep it running, and he took the captains chair. Which is good because when it comes down to it he's better at doing the events. My username is inspired by my first gun and a nickname some pothead used to call me. He then proceeded to steal a lot of my shit and then I reacted by kicking his ass and in turn getting them back. I'm sure there's a lot of other things I could say right now, but they don't come to mind.

I used to go to Kim's Karate when I was 11...does that count?
Right now I do Denkwondo, my teachers are Bas Rutten, Frank Shamrock, and Vitor Belfort...the videos actually help me, though Belfort speech causes me to laugh mid speech...he says "you know" alot..

My name is Chris, and I'm 22 years old. I first started watching UFC when I was young. I used to go to the video store and rent all the old WWF tapes, Wrestlemania, Survivor Series and all that. I saw Hogan take on King Kong Bundy, the British Bulldogs...that kind of thing. And I pretty much saw ever wrestling tape in the video store. I found a tape that looked pretty cool, and I rented it. That event was the very first UFC event. It was unreal, and I continued to rent more tapes, and my favorite fighter was Royce Gracie. I didn't watch it much anymore, because the video store never really carried any new UFC tapes. I did manage to watch a UFC and Pancrase PPV and that was about it. I did dig that UFC game for Dreamcast. Fast foward a while, I just happened to see UFC and television so I watched it whenever I could find it on. I then bought Pride FC for my playstation 2. I loved that game and got into MMA even more. I've caught some Pride on tv, but more UFC. I love TUF show, and I've found some dvds. Some of my favs would have to be. Rich Franklin, Royce Gracie, Chuck Liddel, Randy Courture, Robbie Lawler, Ken Shamrock, Kimo...the list goes on, Its damn fun to watch with your buddies. And I believe it was Vitor Belfort vs. Maurice Smith (i think) and Vitor hit a knee to the face and left the most god-awful looking gash on his head.
IMMAF is great, and I enjoy it very much. I have been looking for a MMA efed for the longest time. I co-run a Wrestling Efed with Johnny Vaugh, and I just wanted to try something new. I looked forever and I started to think they didnt exist. All the ones I found listed didnt work, until I googled MMA Efeds and I found this one on a list and I've been here eversince.
Also, I took Kodakon (i think ya spell it like that) for a few weeks until my teacher moved back to Japan.
