On Inside the MMA, they had the matchmaker for Mark Cuban's HDNETFIGHTS MMA organization. He admitted to Bas Rutten in the show yesterday that they have penalties in their rules meetings for fighters who are not constantly striking and making the fight exciting. He also said thre are penalties for fighters who constantly try to take it to the ground. He said

"We like Jiu Jitsu guys and wrestlers. But if you're going to take the fight to the ground we frown on that. HDNETFIGHTS is about exciting fights, and going to the ground isnt exciting in most instances. Those are just not fighters in our opinion at HDNETFIGHTS."

The way he said it was logical, but the arugment that grapplers weren't fighters basically pissed me off. This to me shows that Cuban and Company have no clue about what MMA is, and are just doing all of this to get some attention.
