The Sport
Once thought of as a blood sport,
Cage Fighting is now accepted as the
purest form of pugilistic competition.
Proven safer in every way then
boxing, kickboxing, or even football,
the once taboo underground event is
now selling out shows across the
country with no deaths or serious
injury in its history of existence in
the United States dating back to
1994, when in contrast 12 fighters a
year die in boxing matches in the US.
The cage is a stigma, and amplifies
the misconceived brutality the sport
possesses, but in reality the cage is a
safety arena preventing competitors
from being tossed from the ring as
happens in shows that do not use the
cage causing fighters to land in the
stands, or on concrete floors, and
endangering all involved. A mix of
Karate, boxing, wrestling, and other
forms of martial arts, the sport has
been termed appropriately Mixed
Martial Arts, this is a sport of honor
and respect which carries over to the
competitors, the shows, and the fans.
