MMA =/= Ultimate Fighting


I just capped that off of aol.com under a section of "Activities for your family on weekends". I'd say a good one half of all mainstream coverage of mixed martial arts refers to it as "Ultimate Fighting". Especially good on this example is "Ultimate Fighting is defined as mixed martial arts competition...". No, you can't define an organization using what defines it, it doesn't work that way. That would be like if I called a high school baseball game Major League baseball in high school. You would think the people who write these things would put a little more research into it besides "Hey, I heard one of my son's friends talking about this Ultimate Fighting stuff. I should suggest that, whatever it is. I'll just google 'Ultimate Fighting' and see what comes up and post that." Also the picture isn't of anyone in the UFC, so even more points there. They could at least have a link to Sherdog so people can actually read about the sport instead of just posting links to buy shit, especially from Chuck "Lost 3 of his last 4 fights" Liddell.

Not even interested in MMA? You'll still enjoy one of my favorite highlight videos ever of the lighter side of the sport.


Krazy Horse is god.
