Do you mean a guest on Jerry Springer ? Or do you mean Bas Rutten (he did a jerry show) ?

A guest. LOL
 
I love MMA fights. Not to good with the names, or faces, heck alot of them are bald and they all look alike at that point.

I like the guy with the brown mohawk. I think that i lydell.

I am not a fan of the ground game, unless of course its ground and pound.. lol

I think you mean chuck Liddel , i love the ground game jujitsu just look's so good IMO .
 
i like mma as much as the next guy, but personaly i think that in the past couple years it has lost a lot of technique. as a martial artist myself, i see major flaws in the standup and ground game of many of the fighters. there are too many hook punches and roundhouse kicks. not enough strait punches and sidekicks. i also rarely see a fighter block a punch or kick, while it is completely telegraphed and easy to stop. the ground game is good, but they focus too much on one or two moves such as the arm bar or gillotine, and miss many oppertunities for other submisions. the fighters would be much better off if they studied a specific martial art such as kenpo, wushu, karate or any other real martial art. they all have a blackbelt in "brazillian jujitsu", but i have not seen a fight with a real jujitsu master. those guys go out there and give it their all, but i would really like it if mma had more traditional martial artists in it, instead of brawlers. As a blackbelt i kenpo, i cannot help but to see all of the minor errors made by the fighters.

Yeah there was more martial arts when the UFCwas just starting out years ago.Thats when different disciplines were pit against one another.Different sized fighters also but the state athletic governing groups got involved and changed things.

I sort of agree with you , Do you think fighting in a cage instead of a ring makes a big difference ?
