It’s a valid question, because it’s very exciting. I wasn’t a fan of it years prior but now it’s wearing well on me because of the grit, the challenges, and most of all, they give the FANS what they want.

I don’t hear about anybody ducking in MMA.

I don’t hear about someone scared to lose their 0.

They get in there for 3 to 5 five minute rounds and go to war. The stand up game, the strikes, the ground game. It’s just pure entertaining. The different ways to subdue someone into submission is awesome as well.

The different aspects of Martial arts going against one another to prove their dominance.

I can’t name many champions of MMA rather if it’s UFC or Bellator but I can say that it’s refreshing to see a fighter give their Blood, sweat and tears for the sport.

I almost got into MMA back in 2008/09 but quickly realized that that wasn’t for me. I was learning Ju Jitsu at Tenth Planet in Riverdale, Ca with some ole roommates of mine. I loved their work ethic and training ability but I quickly realized that I had to learn Ju Jitsu at an earlier age.
