Q. Mark RealityWanted.com: What originally got you involved in MMA?
A. Ben Saunders, The Ultimate Fighter: I have been doing martial arts since I was 8 years old and I have always been a huge fan of Bruce Lee. I was training in MMA from the start and in 1993 when I was 10 years old I watched the first UFC PPV fights. When I watched it, it blew my mind it was the first competition I saw and at that point I realized what kind of sport I was in and at age 10 I knew it was what I wanted to do.

I felt too intelligent for street fights so I sought out something to do after work. I got into Ju Jitsu, started meeting MMA guys, started training with them, and then started fighting at local venues.
