Oh I view it as a sport,just one that has no identity right now
Of course Volleyball and Cricket are sports too
The best thing for MMA is to acknowledge its a variation of Greco Wrestling,which is what it really is.
Long term its its best chance for survival,but as long as it sells itself the way it is,itll make short term money,because of the machismo factor,but it will never be a real sport
There wont be any Olympic Medals,there wont be any Gold Gloves,itll just be a sideshow
Honestly I wouldnt mind if it became legit(hell,nobodies forcing me to watch,nobodies forcing me to wach Golf either,thank god)but right now its just this amorphous nothing.
Hey let it it decide what it is,and you guys can enjoy watching it.
