ESPN allowing comparisons of UFC and Dog Fighting...

[belarad]

Last night on sports center, ESPN was covering a story about Michael Vick participating in dog fighting events. One person they interviewed, Osgood from the San Diego Chargers, said the people like dog fighting because it is like boxing or UFC. BUT they then showed only clips of MMA and nothing else was being said letting it soak in what they were clearly saying about our sport. I don't care how cool it is to see UFC on ESPN, there are still people in that organization that do nothing but hate and attempt to drag down what the sport has become. Please comment. I am actually sick of this awesome sport being compared to illegal activities like dog fighting or street fighting.

fuck dog fighting and the cockgobblers who do it. those ppl should be put in a cage with a rabid pit bull and see how they like it.

also that is bullshit how they cover mma on espn. you can tell they begrudingly show highlights and wish they didnt have to. its pathetic

I saw an interview and no mention was made of boxing, but they did mention UFC(not MMA).

Thats so laughable. I saw it too. You can't compare something where people fight willingly to dogfighting. What would compare to dogfighting would be if soldiers made POWs fight to death or something.

I know they didn't say "MMA" I but UFC is MMA and the largest representative of MMA and should not be knocked! UFC is MMA and they did mention boxing...

Man, if there is one form of shit that should be wiped off the earth it's people who are invovled in dog fighting. It's not even remotely comparable to MMA because that's willing participants.

Freakin douche bags.
How could someone compare forcing 2 animals to kill each other to MMA?
