First off, let's not make this debate personal. Then I'd have to post in orange text.

I do not need to know the whole history of MMA to know that striking a fallen opponent is abhorent to me, and the general public.
I do not need to quote Pay For View figures to state that no hooligan who is celebrated in a "sport" - which allows a cowardly attack on an opponent who had been put down - will ever gain the respect of the people.

Strange, the thing that I can't understand is why you never address this issue accurately. In MMA fights, striking a fallen man isn't necessarily cowardly. In fact, in many instances it is FOOLHARDY. An accomplished fighter isn't defenseless on his back. Many of them are more dangerous there than on their feet. This is basic and intrinsic to a sport that has grappling as a major element.
The fact that MMA fights are often won by submission or tap out rather than sheer bludgeoning (which is how your sweet science looks) would seem to me to be an indication that MMA is actually the sport that values finesse, technique, and strategy over sheer brutality.
