Media Fail Alert: Appeal Democrat Takes Shot At MMA, Needs Better Editor

If you want to peak my interest in MMA, then I want to see no more tap-outs and some bones being broken. Just think of how good the fights would be if the competitors actually had to worry about one of those submission moves working.

The “journalist” who penned the piece was trying to justify his premise that “boxing is better than MMA.” As I have said in the past, it’s the same as arguing if football is better than baseball. They’re different sports, with different techniques and objectives.
