Deadliest Warrior (a bit off topic)

I know this is not the regular UFC Topic but it it is an interesting concept that Spike has.This program uses history,science reserch and the latest in CGI technology to give an fair account on who would survive a battle such as Joan of Arc vs. William the Conqueror, Saddam Hussein vs. Pol Pot, Hannibal vs. Genghis Khan, US Army Rangers vs. North Korean Special Operations Force etc.I find this a cool show to watch.

The UFC has the same reason of thinking of this idea.To put 2 martial artest together in the ring or cage and let them fight it out to see who is the best.Way back when UFC first started back in 1993 you would see a wrestler vs an kung fu master.a brawler vs a boxer,a kick boxer vs an judo expert ect.I kinda like the early days better you would see not only who is the better fighter but you would see which martial arts is the best.I know due to safety regulations they had to do weight classes and the fighters themselves addopts other forms of martial art to improve there chances of winning.

Many fighters now would train in at least 2 forms or fighting skills such as karate or boxing kick boxing or any form or martial art that you use if the opponete wants to stand toe to toe with you and they will pratice in wrestling or judo if the adversary wants to take it to the ground.That todays UFC superstar is cover in the event.

Thats what the tern MMA or mixed martial arts came from well here is my 2 cents for oance but if you want some more info on The Deadliest Warrior go to the spike tv website by clicking the title above.....
