While this site will never be a Cage Potato, Sherdog, Bloody Elbow, or even an MMA Payout, or Fightmarks, and won't have nearly as many updates, what it will be is a little different. More of a technical discussion of how fights can be scored, as well as some op-ed posts. Somebody has to call Kevin Iole out now and again.
Currently, while there is a continued and welcome in the increase of the popularity of such a great sport, there is also a growing wave of ignorance about everything from what constitutes a "good" (i.e. technical fight), to how fights are judged, to which fighter should be the favorite in matchups, and everything in between. While casual fans, or new fans to the sport shouldn't be blamed for lack of knowledge, assuming of course they are willing to learn and don't just want to view MMA as boxing with kicks, there is a growing cadre of "experts" in the media that are widely read but profoundly ignorant about MMA, which only spreads ignorance. Just cussing about these guys in the forums does little to educate the average fan, so consider this site a little more organized in spreading the word about what good MMA is.
