Exactly. One of the problems with MMA is that it needs to hit mainstream so it can generate the bank to pay fighters what they are worth-which will in turn draw more potential fighters and raise the quality of fighters overall.
MMA has survived off of hard core fans for so long, and to become mainstream changes, adjustments, etc are necessary-and those things are exactly what are going to make the hard core fans angry. I see it as necessary, and we are still seeing great MMA fights, so I'll deal with it for now in hopes that MMA will become mainstream and increase the sport overall.
