ESPN's Look at MMA for Kids

I used to be a huge fan of ESPN's "Outside the Lines". Then they started doing it too often and exhausting a lot of the good subject matter. There's just not as much as you think happening outside those lines. This look at children's MMA, though, is interesting to say the least. There are some good points raised, but there's also a lot of selective thinking going on here, like the pediatrician at the 8:30 mark who claims that children don't naturally fight one another. Either he was never actually a child himself or he didn't grow up on planet Earth.

Below, Frank Shamrock (MMA's greatest ambassador, no doubt) debates a basketball coach who's written a book, and the result is both frustrating and entertaining.
