As a martial artist there is a high degree of technical interest for me, but I wouldn't want my Son to do it.
BUT, I don't seek it out, rather if it's on and I pass it, I'll look in.
I was in Vegas for UFC 137. Well, not FOR it, but I was staying at the same place as it was being held, completely by accident. Interesting crowd, the 'fans' who show up. Talked to this one guy, real nice guy, who was an amateur MMA fighter himself. Any notions folk may have of the dumb, thick skulled, knucklehead ape who loves to smash faces, that doesn't seem to be the norm for MMA fighters. Least, not from what I can tell.
Also, I've been out and about, and seen a bar fill up w/ folks watching these UFC nights , and it's nothing like what I'd expect. All sorts of folks, who seem to truly be into the sport, and not just gawkers , looking for imminent violence. They seem to know their stuff.
