MMA Sporting Adventure
As MMA trends toward a more sporting aspect, it will be interesting to see how it’s popularity changes, if at all.
More elite wrestlers are flooding the sport, this is certain.
The second half of the year presents us with two matchups encapsulating this symbolic battle: Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen and Mauricio Rua vs. Evans. The two champions, however, represent elite athleticism in tandem with an entertaining style (In Silva’s case, when he actually fights).
No matter who wins those fights, however, this debate isn’t likely to be settled any time soon.
But there are certainly reasons why, though they may be more famous, fighters like GSP and Evans will never be as beloved as Wanderlei Silva or Chuck Liddell.
