		<description>Here's somethign for discussion.  To those claiming the 'sport' is filled with 'strategy' then go on to slag on nascar.  I'm no nascar fan, although I postulate that it takes more strategic thinking to keep one of those on the track, not even getting to the front of the pack, then it does to move your head out of the way.  The reason it looks like they're thinking so hard in the UFC, is because of the concussions.</description>

		<description>MMA is not exactly a 'mix of martial arts'.  I'd much rather watch a martial arts tourni or demonstration to see some kick ass karate.  Most of what I see on Ultimate is awkward and unrefined.  GSP has some pretty wicked moves happening, but he's still only in there to beat his opponent to a pulp.  Are there even any points?  The only technical stuff I ever see in the octagon ends up being on the ground.  Even then, messy and awkward all over again.  I appreciate roman greco as well, but only once in 4 years.  Small doses.  I need not see this every month.  When you mash together this many different styles, it doesn't look like a sport anymore.  If the point is to beat each other up really hard, thats just called fighting.  It has only really become a sport in the past when it's been constrained to a real style.  Why now does beating each other up become a 'real' sport?  It's unrefined and too lose to be anything more than a passing fad.  10 years from now, i'll still be watching hockey.  I doubt ultimate fighter will still be on spike.  

Why the vendetta against reporting on pertinent events?  Brooks has all the right to write about Dana and all the UFC and express his opinions.  Why?  Because they're valid.  Like most people who think the culture that follows UFC is a sesspool of testosterone left in the sun too long, we think it's the people that make the sport and the fans involved are very questionable.</description>

		<description>Strong rebuttal, you know who.  I suppose you did respond with your entire understanding of the sport.

btw, whether you realize it or not, White has done a great job building up the UFC.  If any shoe-in could do the job, why did PRIDE Fighting Championship collapse?  Why did Gary Shaw lose millions with EliteXC?  Why is Affliction losing hundreds of thousands of dollars with each show?  Why was the UFC bankrupt and for sale until White and the Fertitta&#39;s took over?  I personally can&#39;t stand White (like many MMA fans), but if you try to discount what he&#39;s accomplished you only show your ignorance.</description>

		<description>Brooks has consistently shown that he doesn&#39;t have a real understanding of MMA as a sport.  It&#39;s very disappointing to see the sport portrayed in such a negative light, what is the vendetta against MMA?  Either spend some time so that you understand what you&#39;re covering, or stop blindly bashing it and let the other bloggers on this site cover it.  

MMA is a complex mix of wrestling, kickboxing, jiu jitsu, and other styles, and the diverse skillsets take years of training to master.  Consistently insinuating that the sport is for savages, not even a &#34;sport&#34; and requires little skill only shows how little you understand it.  That is the equivalent to saying baseball is just hitting a ball with a stick, or basketball is just throwing a ball through a hoop.

One post you&#39;re calling White a hatemonger, the next post you&#39;re calling UFC fans stupid, inbred, rednecks, hillbillies etc.   That may be an image of the fanbase that stands out, but rest assured there are plenty of intelligent fans drawn to the sport because of its complex strategy and the incredible athleticism on display.  I don&#39;t want to read a sports blog that insults me because of the sports I like.

Sure, White is a foul-mouthed idiot, everyone who has followed the sport knows this, but that doesn&#39;t excuse the consistent posts bashing the sport and its fans. </description>

		<description>oh and in a country where people watch freaking nascar, and roid ball is the national passtime; calling the best kickboxing, jiu-jitsu and wrestling practitioners a &#39;joke&#39; is beyond irony.

but at least own up to the fact this article is anti-ufc and stop pretending you care about gay people.</description>
