I reccomend the documentary "Choke" by rickson.

At least these guys fight to show what style is best, and to prove who is the best , not like some of the money hungry greedy d*ck heads you get in boxing these days.
Yes I will do that as soon as I've finished studying the true fighting arts as mastered by Kimbo Slice

Bilbo as much as I respect your opinions on things, you are so far off on the skill set of a Mixed Martial Artist...Grappling is a whole art in itself...Believe me take it from someone who does it, it aint as easy as it looks and is a lot of time and hard work invested just as much if not more than learning to Box .
Don't misunderstand me jtrock I do agree that their is trememdous skill in all martial arts, but the UFC is a bastardisation of all of them. It was clearly invented by a group of young producers and media moguls who wanted to make some quick and easy money cashing on the craze for WWF Wrestling in the US.

It's not a proper sport I don't care what anyone says.

Now proper martial arts on the other hand I agree is very skilful.

Now please excuse my ignorance of MMA versus UFC etc as I really don't know the difference.

All I am talking about is whatever sport it is that has Chuck Lidell as world champ and Tank Abbot as a big star. That is what I am talking about.

If there is a MMA sport seperate from this then I am not passing judgement as I just don't know enough about it but Chuck Lidell is not a professional sportsman.
