I truly hope so. I was home from work one afternoon and was fortunate enough to see Alex Gong destroy an opponent on ESPN2. I also love to watch Cung Le fight-- he has such a great combo of clinching and striking, not to mention his patented suplex.
I wish there was a channel dedicated to the martial arts or at least ring sports (WWF not included-- that's another story, not a sport per se). Hopefully people will be more open to MT & full-contact stuff.
