With all the hype that Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) has gotten recently, you'd think it's the next big thing in American sports. It's not. If I want to see two guys rolling around on the ground, I'll go to my neighborhood bar on a Saturday night. There's no question that the best fighters in MMA are highly skilled and trained in their respective discipline. But it doesn't make for great entertainment. Too often, fighters will be grappling on the ground for the duration of the match. Boring. There are plenty of more entertaining sports to watch, namely cycling, bowling and horse racing, just to name a few.
