yeah i've noticed the growing popularity. may end up becoming as commonplace as it is in Asia for example.
I watch the bouts sometimes, it depends on whose fighting. some of it can be very boring. I like fighters who bring Technical and un-orthodox excitement, like this guy: YouTube - MMA Rumina Sato vs Charles Taylor(flying armbar)
or this dude LMAO.....Shigeyuki Umeki is my Hero YouTube - Shigeyuki Umeki Highlight
and another from MMA....Masakazu Imanari hes not as strange as Umeki but quite a devil with those ankle locks YouTube - Masakazu Imanari HL reel by Eyekyu
