Very few things could have surprised me more the other night than walking in on Allie not only watching, but enjoying, TKO Mixed Martial Arts. She liked it better than a) pro wrestling, because it's real, b) better than boxing because the fights are shorter and less boring, and c) than UFC beacuse it wasn't as brutal.
She didn't belive me that UFC was basically the same thing, just in a cage instead of a ring. I found some UFC on TV last night to show her the difference, and it illustrated that it isn't really a level-of-brutality thing, it's a level-of-competition thing. TKO was a bunch of local Montreal fighters..UFC is the best of the best..hard core guys, MUCH larger and tougher. Like the difference between a beer league hockey game and the pros. (What pros? Once upon a time, there was a pro hockey league called the NHL...you may or may not remember them...)
Still..my wife, watching MMA...weird.
