zhorner,
I haven't been on here for a while, so I forgot that you're a dufus... Mixed Martial Arts as we know it today (e.g. Pride, UFC, NHB related events) isn't the same as the ancient Greek Pankration. No one knows for sure what the Greeks actually practiced... We only know theories.
If you actually had half the brain you were given, you'd understand that my point was addressing MMA as it is recognized presently. The point remains that Muay Thai is a sport, Boxing is a sport, and so is TKD... The fact is people in these sports are more athletic, skilled and better fighters than most folks who claim to be doing the "non-sport", "non-contact" version. Some guy whose been practicing traditional Muay Thai in a cave for 20 years is a wuss.
