[QUOTE="netty2424, post: 2631335, member: 63328"] Civilized is relative. Fighting is the sport in MMA. That’s what they are there for so not a fair comparison at all. Even within fighting there are rules, so if a fight is clean, it’s by your terms civilized. I would venture to say the large majority of fights, high 90 percentile start and end without penalty, and/or significant injury. I don’t have stats to support this statement, but I’m confident the injuries in football are significantly greater in both number and severity meaning to me, football is far more violent. It’s played longer, more often, and guys seem to suffer more later in life. [/QUOTE]
