MMA is a very niche sport but I enjoy it, it could be because I grew up in a house hold that couldn't get enough of martial arts flicks, plus a lot of the dudes I did security with were aspiring MMA fighters/instructors so I was always around some form of it.
Let me tell you, only knowing how to use your hands is some real one dimensional thinking in 2015 when damn near everyone is training some form of grappling so they're gonna grab you anyway they can and put you on your back, not trying to make it some racial shyt but I've seen these little 155lb former high school/college wrestlers taking 6' ft something brothers to the ground with ease all the time, people hate Jon Jones but look how easily he took to submitting jiu jitsu black belts and he came into MMA from basically junior college wrestling.
Us brothers need to come up off that "grappling/kicking is gay" bs we were told as kids, it's just not true, and it's something we can get into and excel at easy. .. Ask anyone who has ever eaten a flush shin to the liver if kicks are for sissies after they regain use of their lower body.
Not sure where this idea that fights stay on the feet even came from, someone always slips/gets dropped and ends up getting stomped etc. that's why I'm good wherever I end up.
Any sport can be "Gayed" up if you're looking to do it. Football, basketball etc. clinching in boxing. It's silly
