It seems to me that too many people are obsessed with MMA becoming "mainstream". I'm not so sure that it's a good thing.
I realize that the fighters are underpaid and going mainstream would certainly help with that, but is that actually good for the sport??
These guys are out there fighting because it's something they enjoy doing...I'm not sure having a bunch of millionaire egomaniacs would help the sport. I kind of enjoy it right now as "our little secret".
Plus, if everybody is training MMA you won't be able to mesmerize everybody with those "crazy kung fu moves" in bar fights.
Thoughts??
