I caught that one this morning also. Very well written article, I thought.

That's one thing about mainstream coverage of jiu jitsu, judo and, now, sambo. It tends to be much more positive than coverage of MMA. They tend to treat grappling sports the way they do activities like yoga: a little "foreign" and exotic, but not controversial or threatening.
