Well, as I said in my post, and this proves the point exactly, MMA will always have its detractors for this exact reason :good
one art versus one art, no problems. look mate, if in ufc they didnt go to ground and fart around id be a fan, but thats not the case.... i love it when they stand up and punch **** out of eachother, but as soon as they go to ground i lose interest.
Says the man who loves to hug and hold and get up close being nipple to nipple with his opponent at every opportunity.
I see theres alot of ignorant haters of MMA in this thread...pathetic. True fight fans can appreciate and enjoy both sports. If ur too dumb to acknowledge the skills of ncaa wrestlers and jiu jitsu black belts then stick to your precious 'fisting' without commenting on a sport u know nothing about.
The Channel 5 broadcasts are bare bones edits, which would be good if they screened them a day or 2 after the event instead of weeks. They recently showed Silva-Belfort. A spectacular episode of shattered glass.
