It is surprising to me that the concept of behaving like a gentleman is so foriegn to some peple.
As for the constant argument about skill - I am sure that knife fighting requires a greta deal of skill to do succesfully, this is not an honorable sport either. MMA *IS* a street fight, it is a brawl between a couple lor louts - by all means they might be louts who are skillful in violence.
Boxing is a sport, MMA is simply a brawl.

So sorry.. I hope you have good medical insurance. That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. You yourself even admit that a street fight has no rules.. so .. that would include any preconceived notion of "gentlemanliness". You knock someone down and they aren't knocked the fuck out..and they are going to be more pissed off than they were before.. .. you're fucked. Extremely stupid idea.
I fail to see how you can consider one form of fighting a gentleman's sport and another a brawl for louts. You ignore the rules and basics of the very sport that you argue against because you simply think that there is some chivalry in letting someone back up. They are two different sports with two very different styles of rules.. why is that so hard to understand?
