Compare UFC 1 to the stuff they got out today...they used to allow hair grabbing, stomping and so on. Then john maccain came in and made them put ALOT of safer rules in UFC along w/ all the other MMA competitions in the USA. oh ya and people keep sayin that its gettin INCREASINGLY violent need to do research on UFC.

All I'm asking is that is the sport the result of our depravity and constant need to be entertained by something more disturbing. or if every guy in the sport became a Christian, would the sport continue to exist? Would it be redeemable? Like many cultural practices are not right or wrong, they are simply amoral. Is this an amoral sport which could be redeemable or something immoral that isn't redeemable? Hopefully that will help. People seem to be confused, my bad.

Well, everyone fighting is fighting by their own will, which is different than dog fighting. Also, the fighters aren't fighting til death. Is it redeeming? I guess I don't really get this point. It's competition and entertainment. It's no different than any other sport to me, just more blood involved (that ear was gross last night). There are rules and regulations. There are people involved and they all chose to be involved. If they don't have Christ in their lives, I would imagine someone would need to reach them. Maybe GOD can let them know what he feels they should do with their lives after being saved. All that to say, I see no problem with it. I'm just glad it that wasn't my ear. Hmm…
