You can call it sport and thats fine, its more real than any dickhead I knocked out on the door of a bar. I'll take my own experiences for what they are.
I never said I didn't practice combat sports, I just said none of them are the same as the real thing. I've been hit in the ring and I've been seen combat and I assure you there is a world of difference in someone actually trying to kill you and your opponent in the ring "trying to tear your head off". Sorry I missed out on bouncing I was too busy as a Master-at-Arms in the Navy for the last 20 years.

I notice some very defensive attitudes about this subject whenever and wherever its broached people protest way too much whether they're MMA or TMA people.
