"Kicking hit the backburner pretty quickly, as everyone in the octagonal ring immediately went into grapple-mode and distance between fighters became a rare element"
Someone said kicking a guy in the face is like punching them in the knee. I am still not sure that's right or wrong.
"a homogeneous pile of the same old chokes and grapples over and over again."
Two Angry Guys Nobody Wants To Be Friends With(C), in boxer shorts, grinding each other up. "Homogeneous pile" indeed. OF MEN. I'd rather see bowling than M.M.A. |

Okay, maybe this is just being BORN HERE that is making me say this, or probably I'm not watching enough futbol, but this kind of trickery makes the game fun for the spectators. So many sports are so focused on making the game fun for the ATHLETES! That makes the actual game about as fun to watch as chess, and just as formulaeic. |

Haha ten cents because sumo is fat.
Okay, I'll bite. Sumo is two dudes smacking into each other for ten seconds, entirely practical (if you eat like an elephant and pump iron like a forge crucible), but I'll be first in line to defend its aesthetics. Let's not forget all of the very very traditional aspects of sumo; all that rocksalt-throwing and ceremony and the referee dressed like some wacky Chinese priest or something. In that sense, Sumo Style Wrestling, which is basically just unarmed pushing and tossing/throwing, has a leg up on the shit popularly known as M.M.A, which is truly what you're thinking of "entirely practical and aesthetically stripped." Let's just call it Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and be done with it.
Let's look at this whole "What Is Best" argument with the caveat that I see conflict, and fighting, and the whole slappy-slappy-punchy-punchy-knifey-knifey behavior in general as rather childish: Fighting is Stupid, and something Dumb People do because they can't resolve their problems through the pragmatic application of diplomacy and negotiation. I'll also admit it's a childish viewpoint on my part, but it informs my whole argument, RE: "What Is Best"
Since we are social creatures, and fighting among members of ones immediate society is by its nature antisocial behavior, to what right does the best fighter in a group claim superiority in any shape or form? But we're competitive, naturally, so there's sports. And even though there might not be too thick a line between Mike Tyson and some thug cold-clocking someone in a dark alley, there is a world of difference between the latter example and, say, sumo, or Tai-chi.
The point being, no matter how irrational fighting is, being who we are as people, some people are going to do it anyway, probably for a long time to come. My view has always been that fisticuffs should be phased out of society, but since that ain't happening soon, I'll settle on methods of fisticuffs that are soft, and ritualize the violence in a controlled environment.
But then, we have this Octogon Gracie Hug-Jitsu Faux-Tribal Tattoo Mouthpiece-Sucking nonsense, that boils down to what two angry guys who want to fight in their boxershorts look like without eye-gouging, nostril-hooking, mandible-wrenching, head-butting, testicle-slamming, hair-grasping, throat-clenching, nose-biting, and other fun stuff not allowed, with a ref, and a safeword (the safeword is tap).
That isn't what art looks like, and it's also not what martial looks like. One looks like ballet, the other looks like three dudes and a tank.
So I'll take my sumo ballet, thankyou. And fuck M.M.A. |

Teethsalad, I like you. You bring us sumo videos and neato-keen(C) history segments. Are you Japanese or something, or just interested? Oh it doesn't matter. I like you. |

Actually, what you're seeing is Japanese xenophobia. You'll notice that every seat the Brits capture on camera is empty.
Little known fact: Japanese people possess the ability to repress their souls, preventing cameras from taking pictures of them or microphones recording their sounds, rendering them functionally invisible to save face or avoid associations.
They're just that inscrutable. |

Portal of Evil News is going to be fucking hilarious for our great-grandchildren, but they'll all be taking it too much for granted to laugh as hard as we would.
The future of the "Slipping on a Banana Peel" gag is bright though. There's that to hope for. |
