the idea that MMA is a sport and should be fought in a ring is an interesting point, mostly from a marketing standpoint. put MMA in a ring like boxing and its now a sport. where as in a cage its somehow no longer a sport?

I didn't say MMA in a cage is no longer a sport. Sure it is and I enjoy it just the same. But the question was which is better, a ring or cage. I think a ring is better because in my opinion it creates a more level playing field.
