Mixed Martial Arts(MMA) has quickly become my favorite sport to watch ever since I was introduced to it a number of years ago. However, when I tell people this, 9 out of 10 of them look at me as if I was spewing vomit out of my eye sockets.

It seems that most people still associate MMA with the no rules, human cockfights they used to be, rather than the regulated sport it is today. Others even know the truth of what MMA has become and still view it as being too barbaric to be considered a sport.

So, I'm interested in how you view MMA. Do you see guys like Chuck Liddell, Anderson Silva, and Fedor as athletes or as brutes? Are you a fan?
