Any thoughts on GSP trying out for the olympics for wrestling? You think this would reflect negatively on MMA if he can't make the team (according to casual observers at least)?
I hadn't thought of its reflecting poorly on MMA. Maybe, but I can't see it doing anything to curtail the growing interest in MMA.
The problem with UFC judging is that it asks the judges to take into account "aggression" and "Octagon control," but not "attempts to end the fight" (as PRIDE did). If the last element was added to judging, and judges were trained in identifying submissions, the judging would become more evenhanded.
Ah, stated far better than I had done.
