Flipping through the channels yesterday, I came upon a station that had a show on called 'Ultimate Fighting'. Billed as an exhibition of mixed martial arts, it consists of people who willingly get into a ring and proceed to beat the living crap out of each other. Unlike some other 'sports' such as Professional Wrestling, this stuff is for real. While most fighters display a level of expertise with the various martial arts, some of the matches amount to a regulated street fight where anything goes except for a few things like biting, eye gouging,and head butting. The fight only ends when one person gets knocked out, submits, or the two fighters manage to go the distance. While this type of sport isn't for everyone, it has amassed a rather large following, with numerous Pay Per View events, and seems like it will continue to grow.
