What has this morphed into? Do people still watch this shit? Are there still so many defence techniques that have gone untested? I guess I might be missing something. What is it? Its a good Goddamn thing Bruce Lee died! That fucker slept with his training. Much like Hendricks slept with his guitar. Where the hell are all the cowboys?
The world needs another hero.
Brazilian Ju-Jitsu is the most effective martial art in MMA, it is the one system that combines everything you need to be a successful exponent of MMA. Fighters may come from wrestling, kick boxing and other martial art beckgrounds but all fighters need training in Brazilian Ju-Jitsu its the difference between winning and losing. If other martial arts systems were anywhere near as effective they would still be used, fact is they aren't.
As for popularity?, MMA (especially UFC) is now a major rival to boxing in the world of televised sports.
We need to punish the French, ignore the Germans and forgive the Russians - Condoleezza Rice.
