Tonight is probably the first time that MMA has full program i prime time on national television.
I had to watch the program the second it was available online, so tonight was the second view, which gave me the opportunity to "analyze" it.
First of all, it was a really good program and the guys from fightcraft are really pleasant people. And it doesn't surprise anyone that bubber is a big sissy and he had a lot of prejudice towards MMA even after having filmed the show and trained with the guys. Despite that he succedes in communicating the fact that fighters are normal people.
My first opposition to the program is the title and that they over and over again says 'Ultimate fighting' even though they were told that the sports name is 'Mixed Martial Arts'. The second thing that i do not like is that he keeps calling it violent and violence although he admits that the fighters are not violent psychopaths, and in the final comment he call it 'an outlet for a need for violence'.
I don't think Bubber thinks of it as a serious sport with good athletes and he really does not treat the sport that way.
On his blog Bubber writes of the unique and sharing community and the harmony of people who are that well trained which kind of makes up for calling fighters 'people who needs an outlet for violence'.
