Never cared to watch MMA, or any form of fighting for that matter.
I studied Tae Kwan Do for a couple of years before I enlisted, and after I got out, I studied under Sterling Peacock (Matthias David) in my youth, and while he technically wasn't MMA, (kenpo IIRC) he taught a wide variety of self-defense disciplines. Tae Kwan Do, kung fu, thai boxing, boxing, akido, judo, etc. Anything and everything was fair game in his classes. His philosophy was that you never hit your opponent more than 5 times. Twice to get them off their feet, once on the way down, twice more once they were on the ground/floor.
A few years after I studied with him, he went...a bit off the deep end...
