Screening is a big part of MMA, everyone has to go through a test. That is why most gung fu practitioners don't enter. I personally know a San soo guy who tried to get into the UFC, when screening came I told him to look more like a boxer, but unfortunately, he didn't do that. He used crude techniques and I remember he hooked the guy's mouth and tore it up. Right there he was kicked out of the event. MMA is more of a kickboxing/grappling event and it is a sport!! There's a lot of things people don't know esp. what goes behind the events, i could go on and on, but hey, it's still fun to watch.
One more thing, during the mid nineties, a lot of the matches were fixed, and so theywere told how they would start, and how the match would end. I'm not gonna mention any names, that's just something for everyone to know.
