No problem

Its sad that people want to listen to the hype instead of people who were actually there. Im not naive I know when someone is pushing an agenda. I prefer to listen to people who were there. And for the record the information i have posted has come from more than just Bart Vale and Fujiwara. I have been to japan I have trained wtih these two greats of MMA. But I have also talked to people in japan outside of the organization. I know what i said to be true. Japan was doing organized MMA (even if it wasn't called MMA at the time) more than a decade before the first UFC. There were many organizations and incarnations of sponsors schools and fight events. The UFC has gone through several diffrent ownerships, rules, and even diffrent fight styles. In the begining it was truly Style VS Style. then came the fat tough man competiion. Now it is highly regulated with rules. It really isnt as real as it gets. If it was people would die. Its a sport that likes to think its real.
