got in a big sports argument over this.

There are some highlight in MMA now
that are approaching the level of a GREAT sports feat like say a buzzer beater 3 pointer, a hat trick on the ice or a home run

specifically I was referencing this KO from recently:



I'm making the distinction from slobber knockers and wild flinging where somebody gets clipped by a wild shot and gets lights out. Basically, I'm arguing the level of skill of the average competitors in big name MMA shows is at such a level now that you can see high. high skill level knock outs that stand up there with similar great moments in other sports


true or no-true?

I have no idea what point you're trying to make.

I don't follow fighting that closely, but I don't see any reason why there would be a higher luck factor than other sports, if that was the argument? Those guys dedicate their entire lives to being skilled fighters. Even as a casual, I can see the high level art and strategy

MMA highlights should be shown on ESPN reels of the day
alongside other sports.


I don't know how much more I could dumb it down for you.
