I have seen alot of things in my life so far that make me take a second look, give it extra thought, wonder what they were thinking when they did it. Examples would be: Godfather part 3, release the script to WWE before the events happen, electing Obama, a wide array of topics. A new item to the list is, Grassroots MMA. These are a group of guys who obviously have watched an episode of TUF, or even a few PPV events and think they are Anderson Silva's biggest threat.
From wearing jeans in a fight, to no mouthpiece's required (only saw one that I noticed) these kids are fighting on grass and dirt with 4oz. gloves and honestly trying to show they are fighters. Amateurs with a dream they may be, but they are shedding a negative light on a sport which although continues to blossom and become sanctioned, is still not accepted everywhere. Kids like these are the reason why New York state has yet to legalize MMA. Think I am just being mean? Watch the video below and respond with what you think. I am all for ambitious fighters who want to make MMA a career, if you want to do that - get into a local MMA gym and learn from trained professionals in a safe and learning environment.
