Media Fail Alert: Appeal Democrat Takes Shot At MMA, Needs Better Editor

If you want to peak my interest in MMA, then I want to see no more tap-outs and some bones being broken. Just think of how good the fights would be if the competitors actually had to worry about one of those submission moves working. Better yet, I want to see a fighter put an arm-bar on somebody, brake his arm off and then beat him with it. Now you’ve got my attention.

- From the Appeal Democrat

The “journalist” who penned the piece was trying to justify his premise that “boxing is better than MMA.” As I have said in the past, it’s the same as arguing if football is better than baseball. They’re different sports, with different techniques and objectives.

But the real gem is his talking about an arm “brake” and MMA needing to “peak” his interest. That’s some sweet editing right there. Add in the handful of facts that are flat out wrong and it gets even better.
