i just wanted to quickly point out again the huge difference generally seen in someone who's been in either sport for the longterm.
i don't hear any of the "punchy" or brain damaged slurs when i hear randy couture or ken shamrock give an interview. mike tyson, evander holyfield, etc. on the other hand.... well, it's not pretty.
you talk about this "gentlemanly sport" or "sweet science", yet the main point of it is repeatedly striking someone in the head, which is the worst place to receive damage, especially over time.
mma on the other hand can end in an armbar or other wrestling move, and if someone's hit in the head its one clean hit, not a barrage in general.
