im a pretty outspoken detractor of MMA and all that fad fighting stuff, but that's definetley a big step for the sport, no arguing that.

Neat.
As Layzie said, major major step for the sport of Mixed Martial Arts.

About time ESPN got on board with MMA. Jeff and the guys at Sherdog know about mma and how to run a site so I am glad to see they got good people to run it as well.

actually no, NASCAR belongs more than poker, pool, and MMA. Bullsh*t. Nascar is nothing but a bunch of rednecks or wannabe rednecks driving in circles. Typical Nascar race: "Hey look! Their making a left turn! Oooo lookie there! Another left turn! Oh my! They're turning left! I wonder what happens next?!"

actually no, NASCAR belongs more than poker, pool, and MMA. Maybe poker and pool... But MMA? God no. MMA fighters are athletes. NASCAR drivers aren't.

I'm actually a big fan of NASCAR and have been for many years but this is a fair statement and I agree with it. Much more so than ZT's. The real athletes in NASCAR are the pit crew members.

ESPN's #3 top play today was Quinton Jackson's knockout of Chuck Liddell.

Ok, ESPN did just piss me off.
They showed a football player on camera talking about all this Michael Vick dogfighting stuff, and they asked him why people might do it and his quote was that "they do it because they like violence and see it just like boxing and MMA"
While he was saying this, they showed clips from the UFC of fighters getting knocked out and thrown down.
To sit there and pretty much compare UFC/MMA to dogfighting is bullsh*t.
