ALRIGHT!
I was just thinking last night (AGAIN) there should be a MMA thread!
Good for you for starting one.
I am hooked on watching these athletes in action - the various style combinations in different fights, the different weight classes, etc...
I even like The Ultimate Fighter series.
I find it all very fascinating. And yes they are much bigger, faster and stronger now - like with most sports, it seems. However, if you look back on the earlier fight clips and some of the ones who just did the martial arts & submissions, no "ground & pound, or boxing", etc, in their game... those were some very good MMArtists then too, quite skilled and very dangerously disciplined as well.
But, with the Jujitsu, Greco Roman wrestling, varying stances, boxing, kicks, TAKE DOWNS, wrestling, ground or stand up game preferences, the grappling, on and on - alot going on!
Full contact combat sport.
Yes, I like it! And I'm glad some of the rules have changed...
OK, more to follow another time.
