Now we can watch two trained professional fighters with good cardio go at it for 3 to 5 5minute rounds. The old UFC was not as appealing as it is now. The honor, the respect the worrier mentality that is seen in each fighter now shows how long the UFC has come. Don’t get me wrong, the old fighters were good too, but not all of them; some of them should of have never been allowed to step into the octagon, because of their skills, shape and fighting mentality (not true worriers) I know most of us don’t want to admit John McCain helped the UFC, but he did, and let’s not forget what Dana White did; he took the sport to a whole different level Let’s thank John McCain and Dana White for improving UFC; without them we would be watching some out of shape, unskilled fighters getting knocked out by some professionals.

It's a great structure these days (maybe a little too over-organized Dana?) but it's good and we're seeing it a lot more on TV which is great. In the old days it was hard to get it but now you can see it as it happens. I agree.

The sport sure has come a long way from its humble, no rules beginnings. Loved the ECW title and the Bob Sapp reference. The sport sure has come a long way from its humble, no rules beginnings.
