I know I already shared this article once, but its a huge article! As MMA grows, being covered by these massive media outlets like USA Today proves that what we have worked so hard to grow and be a part of is being noticed.
Huge props got to go out to Jens Pulver for finally getting his moment to shine, his chance to stand in the spotlight when the sport is as popular as it is. Its great to see him and the WEC getting this major attention. Articles like this are pushing the sport towards the legitimacy it deserves.
FaceFullOfCung - Deep down it`s not a sport to me either.I just call it a sport for the sake of arguement.
Really? How would you classify it? Not being contentious, just curious. To me, modern MMA is just as much a sport as Boxing or kickboxing (or any other combat sport). I think even if you move closer to vale tudo rules it would still be a sport as the goal is to win the competition, not necessarily to inflict pain and damage on the other guy or to simply survive as the case would be in a true fight.
