Commenter “SmartHippo” on the Sherdog.com mixed martial arts forum:
My feelings towards MMA are kind of similar to my feelings toward metal. I love metal, and I respect it. I do, in one sense, take metal seriously, and have great respect towards the musicians involved. However, I don’t take it too seriously, and if it can make me laugh, that’s a good thing. Metal is often ridiculous, and that’s a good thing.
Some matchups just amuse me, in a good way. Like Kimbo Vs. Houston (if it happens).
Part of me takes this matchup (Couture/Coleman) seriously, as I respect both fighters. But another part of me just thinks it’s Metal as fuck, in the funny way. And that’s a good thing.
With some metal you just laugh and throw up the devil horns. Same thing with MMA. Just laugh and enjoy the ride.
Perfect.
Dana White says MMA will be the biggest sport in the world in 10 years. I don’t see how he can be right, but I am fully prepared to be that guy that screams, “I watched the UFC before it got popular!”Report
