But I find the "evolution" of MMA to be very interesting. As far as I kow, it has followed it's own evolutionary cycle where the styles come down to the two ways of winning: knock out or submission. It seems, natural to me. So if you put a Thai fighter in with an alligator wrestler the two different styles still have to come to a head, thast is a win by ko or submission. Right? In that sense, I think Bruce Lee was right when he created all the fuss about how traditional martial arts was inefficient or just plain :wrong" (my own words and intepretation). Isn;t that the premise behind Jeet Kun Do? A mix of styles so you don't get bogged down in "set moves" etc.
On another note, anyone have any thoughts to the differentiation between "real" fighting and sport fighting?
