Popkins: As a Classic stalwart like yourself, what I appreciate about MMA are the things you know I love: you have to be the man to be considered the man, and the best fight the best (more often than not) I do agree with Scurlas technical criticisms though: Pride FC was the best for technical affairs, and subs seem far less frequent nowadays, either with UFC rewarding lay-and-pray or people just sharper when it comes to defending them I don't know, but it's definitely an issue IMO.
