I remember in 1995 being in South Korea and amazed at watching UFC fighters literally beat each other to a pulp. The sport was outlawed in America at that time. Now they call it mixed martial arts. Such barbarism, close quarters combat is why we have coliseums throughout the world!

Who are we to challenge The Peoples favorite bread and circus?
