Fighting is all mental (chess game) and cardio. Strength is not the main factor but a factor if the fighther is in cardio shape. The UFC and Pride has become very technical and a real sport. Vegas has bettting lines on UFC fights now so that is a step towards mainstream. I think the UFC rules are pretty good and shows what would happen in a real fight situation in a controlled evironment to prevent injury. Now the Pride rules are a little barbaric. Kicking dudes in the head while they're on the ground is dangerous, period. I like pride with it's boxing ring and how the ref stops the fight to bring it to the middle or the fighters back to their feet to keep action going. UFC's cage looks cool to the WWF fan but it really slows down the fight when fighter rest or get pinned to the fence and go into defense only mode.
That King of The Cage crap with all of that yellow color in the ring is a bad one to watch. The PPV video broadcast is low quality too. I could do a better job with my digital vid cam. MOstly terrible out of shape fighters. Seems like they do it out of Reno, NV a lot. They are UFC rejects.
