Each to their own guys, I love mma, it's such a pure, adrenaline fuelled sport. It takes years of training and massive kahunas to step into a cage, I take my hat off to anyone who walks in... I've done bjj comps and they're frightening enough.
Also, it's a place kids can go practice and fight in a secure place away from the streets, that has to be a good thing. It gives them something to train for and keeps them away from drugs etc
Mma is one of the safest martial arts comps around, run really well and it's rare for any fighter to suffer life threatening injuries.
It's only going to get bigger, you either love it or hate it :)
