hey solitude...

don't feel bad. people have thought mma was a white trash sport for years, because it started out with a bad rep-no rules, no weight classes, and mostly fat white guys beating on each other. then came royce gracie and brazilian jiu jitsu and organizations like Pride (now a part of the UFC). it's no longer a white trash sport. it has rules, weight classes, and fans from all races, countries, and backgrounds. it's also fast paced and incredibly difficult...think chess with blood. would recommend you go to a sports bar on saturday night and watch the UFC fight on PPV. see if you change your mind...
