The only thing that bothers me is when people boo basically as soon as the fight goes to the ground and somebody's NOT getting their head punched in yet. I'm not getting into the pride/ufc thing, but you watch Pride and the audience applauds guard passes and subtle position improvements. Many times in UFC people boo right through a major ground maneuver. Again, NOT feeding a pride/ufc debate, just my personal observations, and no, I haven't seen every single fight in both organizations to say this is the norm all the time
That being said, the OG post is a great one and I agree with your points made. And to the guy who mentioned SanShou, heck yeah man! Cung Lee (sp) is unbelievable.
