Hi Judo,
The future of MMA? Probably no different from that of boxing, pro wrestling, or lacrosse for that matter. The people who compete in these events are becoming less and less distinguishable from each other.
Ironically, Royce Gracie, the man who has dominated the early stages of this sport, looks noticably inadequate against a modern fighter like Sakuraba. It's very evident that to become successful in this game, it's necessary to adopt the formula that works under these rules.
Behind with the times,....the Gracies.....probably....but the more and more MMA "progresses", the less likely you'll see someone who bring a truly unique approach to the sport.
