Seriously, I can't leave the house without seeing someone with an Affliction tshirt or Tapout shirt on talking about MMA. Its kinda funny because none of these guys look like they train and talk about MMA like they do it for a living.
I try going to the mall without seeing one of these guys, but seriously they are everywhere.

It is a money making industry and that is what naturally happens.

The actual sport is fine with me; the part I hate is the annoying fake fanboys of it who go around acting like they're able to beat anyone up just because they saw one match. What the sad part is, they've tried to do it to some of my friends on the wrestling team, and they (my friends) could wipe the floor with their asses.- Please wait.

Both are great respectable sports that bring different things to the table.

Yeah, it's pretty big these days, at least here in the U.S. and Canada. I suppose it will die down once something more dangerous becomes the next great popular sport, or maybe just gets the hell marketed out of it.

I wonder what created this impression of mma for you. Maybe an unfortunate selection of mainly wrestling based fighters?
To me it seems like mma would take more balls than boxing. Since the though of something like a flying knee counter during an attempted takedown is ten times scarier than anything in boxing.

It wont die I love to watch it and hopefully fighters start to get better contracts because it sucks to see some guys get the **** beat out of them for $5000
