Lol

yes it is a sport.anything that has a large group of participants and has officials,and rules is a sport.

I"ll consider refs, participation, and rules as sport and tell you why I think it still (mma) is a discipline. In 2004 Athens not enough participation was there for mma to be in the Olympic Games . Stressed games because you cannot view mma as a game like chess, football, basketball, hockey, pool, snooker, etc. You can only disguise mma to look like a sport if you consider mma as matches. So then you have a chess match, football match, baseball matches, mma match, judo match, etc. But in reality it is a disquise and why I still think mma is a discipline based on disguises or strategy.

okay so are Boxing, wrestling, Judo, Thai Boxing, or pancration sports? and what do disguises have to do with anything?

[ufobydeath]

Ok... why are we discussing this?
Stop being a tard, MMA is a sport that was a part of the original olympics (as Pankration) an incorporates elements from all other martial arts in the world.

You're either a troll or completely insane

Bob Dylan, not Roger McGuinn. Dylan's version is way better -- though McGuinn does a pretty good job too.
