    If foreigners are removed from the USA all that will be left is football and MMA which are not arts.

    Guess she doesn't know what the A stands for in MMA.

    Not coincidentally she's with CAA.

    She is an idiot.

    MMA is a world wide phenomenon. The arguable GOATS are: A Russian, a Canadian, and a Brazilian.

    The current biggest sellers are an Irish man and a woman.

    How is MMA not global? It's full of people from all backgrounds coming together for an art.

    But then again, I'm not surprised this is coming from the same woman who stood up to clap for child rapist Roman Polanski.

    DWF almost went full Trump on Streep but felt compelled to admit that, although wrong, she's a very talented actress. Like that gives her opinion merit.

    Every now and then I wonder if the UFC could just get rid of the cage. The cage is the biggest thing casual detractors latch onto.

    yeah but what would that do to the wrestlers? grapplers period. I know it worked okay in Japan, but they definitely did not have the same % of wrestlers & grapplers in their orgs. There would be a lot of ackward stoppages due to some guy driving a guy through the ropes going for the TD. It may get sloppy without a cage is my concern.. that or it'd go even further into mediocre kick boxing matches.

    They would have to come up with a different kind of structure. I saw one recently that was a boxing ring with ropes but the bottom half of the ropes had a mesh netting.

    I don't think they will ever change it but WME-IMG might have some wilder ideas than the conservatives that used to run the place.

    As for what Meryl said, who cares. She's an older person who doesn't like/appreciate MMA. At least she didn't call it cage fighting or UFC.
    Focusing on that kinda misses the entire point of her message IMO. Just ppl yet again being overly sensitive. It's not like there's a huge cross-section of MMA-Streep fans. I know she's a great actress, but she really hasn't made a movie I want to see.
