MMA Transforming with Competition
So the sport of Mixed Martial Arts has finally hit mainstream America. Last night I watched “Never Back Down,” a movie resembling cheesy “Laguna Beach” shows and an updated “Karate Kid,” but with an MMA twist. I rather enjoyed it, not because of the teenage bully plot or the “I’m richer than you are” mentality, but like any action junkie, for the fight scenes, which impressively showcased several moves actual MMA fighters rely on for victory.
