A man has only one death. That death may be as weighty as Mt. Tai, or it may be as light as a goose feather. It all depends upon the way he uses it....

First off, 89% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
Second of all, it IS the typical MMA fanboy's fault that they tend to be brash, rude, condescending, and have this notion of "Settled Science" about their chosen interest. When really, fighting is about "scientific" as the prediction of Hurricanes and almost as arbitrary and counter-intellectual as Politics (almost, mind you- fighting has a little bit more strategy to it.)
Keep in mind, I'm referring to the typical Bullshido/Sherdog type who loves to engage in internet politics wars, has seen lots of MMA, but never done it, and is bitter because they took two Karate lessons when they were a kid and still got beat up by the bully.
In any case, the topic of this thread is way off-base.... there's little fanboyishness to the mods on this forum. Keep up the good work, guys!

I'd like to volunteer my services. Being an expert in supressing sloppy street brawling and mere thuggery at the hands of two-bit criminal meatheads, I believe I would make an excellent moderator for an MMA forum.

"George never did wake up. And, even all that talking didn't make death any easier...at least not for us. Maybe, in the end, all you can really hope for is that your last thought is a nice one...even if it's just about the taste of a nice cold beer."
