Yeah mma spiked after TUF started. A lot of people wanted to get into it just because they thought they were bad and what not, but those people soon learned that it takes a lot of work and effort into learning the techniques of the sport and being good at it. Everyone now a days think that they are the next KIMBO who is also going to put the sport to shame imo.
I never really got into the whole Kimbo thing... it's a big black guy who beats people up in street fights. Mr. T did that shit while looking after a crazy Vietnam vet and turning an ice cream truck into walking robot with flamethrowers and racing stripes. And T did it wearing all that gold, so he was even handicapped in his fights.

The only thing really remarkable I see about Kimbo is his stamina. He outlasts a lot of people and has relatively quick hands. Other than that he just seems to square off against underqualified challengers. I'll take Sakuraba any day.
