once again, lots of words, lots of condescending statements, and no answers to my points
When will one of the many MMA fans explain to us why the men they quote as greats of their sport have winning records at a ratio of about 75%?
Lets look at this point.
I have made clear my judgment... does anyone who supports MMA have a counter-explanation?
I dont doubt that the top thugs of MMA are tough and have trained hard in all the different ways you can grab a guys arm and twist it... but is this a real test of skill?
And you compare Gracie and Ali again... the POINT is that Ali didnt invent boxing, he inherited the belt of Tom Cribb, of Gem Mace, of John L Sullivan...
Gracie may have helped popularise an extreme sport with American college students
Ali inherited the crown of manliness, which runs at least 200 years back into history... a crown that was always awarded to the champion of the world, the emporer of masculinity
