While UFC is one of the most popular sports in the world, there are problems with it. Let us be honest, while some attacker is using that Gracie Jujitsu to apply a lock or hold, he is rolling around and vulnerable to an attack from his opponents friends. Not to mention that it is not always the most intelligent thing to roll around on the ground while some fellow is trying to penetrate your body with a knife or broken bottle. I know I have offended some Mixed Martial Arts stylists out there, but these are questions that people should not hide from. After ... Read Full Story
