And I can go back even further and listen to Jim Lampley talking about how MMA involves no skill whatsoever and generally being his *****-beating self. There is nobody who started it, or one event you can point to.
I dont know why this thing is a stupid idea....Let them do it.. people arent stupid enough to not know what "rules" the fight will be under... If Silva looks semi impressive before getting blasted..he might look good in losing. Remember a certain fighter named Kid Yamamoto??...Hes a beast right..some say hes top 3 p4p. Well he got the snot beat out of him in K1..Did it matter? NO!
