		<description><![CDATA[True enough but there is enough false representation regarding MMA as it is. As a martial artist myself I feel it a responsibility to talk about these things to people who blindly attack something they don&#039;t understand. Your right it&#039;s probably not worth it but like Yoda when they wanted to outlaw being a jedi, I will fight on.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Paul,

Obviously from the last comment just a troll. Or a kid who&#039;s just trying way too hard to appear smart. Either way, not worth the effort or the energy.

Not that I&#039;m sorry I engaged, because I amuse myself to no end.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Steroids? Do you know ANYTHING about MMA? Fighters are tested for performance enhancing drugs before fights. If you actually took the time to do your research you would know this. I encourage you to visit our local martial arts schools and ask them about MMA and its regulations.
Your ignorance of combat sports is apparent so please refrain from flat out lying about these fighters as they are amazing athletes and in the best physical shape.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[True story, guys. The Seven Bankers who run the world&#039;s economy met with the upper echelon of The Illuminati to develop the Unified Rules of MMA that all Athletic Commissions follow. Just so I&#039;d be distracted!

Hey, F., I got some numbers of some folks who can run with this story. You two can team up and blow the lid off it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wonderful. One more step towards legalized thuggery.
Prattle on all you will about the so-called &quot;sport&quot; - it&#039;s nothing more than a couple of steroid-jacked microcephalic twits beating the sh#t out of each other.  And now we glorify it and give it the imprimatur of validity by legalizing it.

It&#039;s nothing more than the modern equivalent of the Roman circuses that _our_ bourgeousie is using to distract the populace so they can rule undisturbed.

		<description><![CDATA[Rampage might of just picked the lion up and tossed it around for a bit...unless that lions name was Rashad.
In reality though this is great news. For much to long MMA has faced unjust controversy. Not to mention the headline fights will bring boat loads of $$$ to the area.]]></description>
