Got your mail...I didn't know it started with only no biting or gouging as the only rules. So you could kick in the balls back then too?

You can't elbow or use forearms in PRIDE...you can in UFC but not the point of the elbow...no hitting in back of the head in Pride but you can kick and knee while they are down...in UFC you can't...i wish they would make the rules more uniform..it's hard to sort them out when you are watching different events....but i'm a junkie so i manage. ;)

As a former wrestler, it is my observation that most fights end up on the ground--which is obviously where I'm most proficient. So I opine that wrestlers make the best fighters.

Chuck Lidell KTFO of Lidell. Wrestlers are usually good at getting the guy down but know always knowing what to do once they get there.
I love UFC though. I started BJJ and its really cool.

On a purely anedotal note, my father, who was an All-New York City offensive lineman in high school, told me that when he used to go out with his friends who were football lineman and hockey players, they all agreed that the people you didn't mess with were the wrestlers. No matter how much bigger you were than them, they'd get you.

I started BJJ and realized how much I love a woman sitting on top of me compared to a woman.
Go ZUFFA and SpikeTV!

The MMA/UFC issue comes up every couple years. I believe UFC at least has catered to the concerns of watchdogs by lessening the high-impact nature of it all. But seriously, what is so different with this stuff from boxing? I've personally seen at least 1 fighter get killed in the ring on television. Legally too. No fouls or anything.
To: jwalsh07
I got hooked on MMA watching the Ultimate Fighter, now can't get enough. I started BJJ and also do freestyle fighting. Its really invigorating.
Plus, the atheltes have 100000000% more class than typical football and basketball players.

Its way safer than boxing because the fighters take less head shots and the fights are stopped earlier. The attitude is that its better to be safe and fight another day than to risk serious head injury.
I think its great for the sport, the athletes, and everyone.

So far there has not been one death in MMA.
True that, but I do have to say I remember getting a chuckle out of Tank Abbott putting straight-arming his fist through a guy's face and giving him a stinger. Tank, in his usual display of sportsmanship gleefully imitated his opponent's spastic movements!

Check out UFC #4. Kieth Hackney is in a choke hold and gets out of it by punching a guy in the nuts about 5 times. It worked!
