I think the whole MMA craze is because it makes men feel macho and gives them the pseudo-sensation of being a rebel for watching something they aren't supposed.

So having two men stand in a ring and forcing them to hit each other in the face for 30+ minutes or until one KOs the other is OK, but if they can use their feet or a submission then it's "gladitorial?"
What is sloppy? Sure their boxing striking isn't on an elite boxing level, but that's because they have to be well rounded, so they have other things to worry about besides somebody only throwing punches at them.
I think the whole "MMA craze" is because it's a new exciting sport. How or why would anybody feel like a rebel for watching something that comes on CBS?
