If the RULES define the game?
Little has changed but the names of things...
New name, same game. MMA is just the latest spin on Judo (to me). Randori with striking!(atemi) Tapping out was a rule from Kano jujutsu tournament rules...Symbolic "death"...
I've been waiting for this since the late 1970's...
Yay for Ultimate fighting, NHB...MMA Whatever you like to call it? Vale Tudo, K-1 Pride etc.
The combat sport is one of my favorite games...I don't consider myself a "FAN" but it's fun to watch.
Like boxing with kicking and grappling and throwing and finishing holds...Sweet!
