    TMA'ers gonna' TMA?

    The perception of MMA isn't just bad in Europe. Listen to the guys on PTI on ESPN bring it up. Some people think it is totally without merit. I reckon it will stay that way for a long time yet.

    It's crazy how often it comes down to thinking ground fighting is deplorable with these people. Almost every time.

    I guess European Judo higher-ups are afraid that they are going to lose their athletes to MMA. That is supposedly what all this hubbub is stemming from.
