Click here to get to an article of a guy who took courses in Muay Thai and Brazilian Jujitsu to “explore the homoerotic untertones” of MMC. It’s fun to read, although sentences like “Sometimes there’s not much difference between fighting and fucking, particularly when you’re talking about two men; both are power struggles about domination and submission” are kind of awkward. The author also talks about Shad Smith, the first openly gay MMC fighter who is not so openly gay anymore since he told the world he is. Here you see him fight (left):
Second part of the series. You guys must think I’m nuts collecting all these pictures, but it’s actually a nice sunday morning activity. My favourite fighter is the Brazilian guy Mauricio “Shogun” Rua, it’s the one on the drawing. Is there anybody out there who can explain me the difference between MMA, UFC and cage fighting? (You see, there’s even an educational aspect to the whole thing.)
