I agree with this strongly, at first it was like ok this guy is Tae Kwon Do and this guy is Judo. Now it's simply Strikes and the ground game.
Sure certain fighters do certain things better than others, but the MMA is becoming more of a HMA (Homogenized Martial Arts) sport.
I don't see why it's a farce for old man Jones to challenge as a strictly a boxing match clearly his legs are shot, furthermore I don't see why it's missing the point. He simply wants to box the guy.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
