Mixed Martial Arts

In Sociology we watched a clip by a graduate Shane Logan and his presentation was based on the question "why would a rational human being sign up to be an MMA fighter?". Shane said that there was a sociological connection to MMA which there is. The is sociological connection the MMA because people do not understand why  people put themselves into the situation of fighting. It's totally a choice and people have the guts to take it. My conclusion is that there must be some high that gives MMA fighters when they fight.


*Are there really more injuries or deaths from sanctioned MMA than pro wrestling?
- Pro Wrestling is known as a fake sport. They are actors and take the risk of getting hurt. MMA fighters do it for fame and money. So I think they are probably more injuries in MMA that in pro wrestling.

* More steroid use?
-  MMA definitely has an increase in steroid use. The test for drugs but turn their heads when it comes to steroids.

*Are the social messages expressed in MMA more harmful than those expressed in professional wrestling?
- MMA seems to have no rules and is a free beating. I don't think it has a good message and I don't think it is necessarily a healthy sport to get involved with. Their is no good message when it comes to MMA. Practically the message is beat the crap out of the other person so that they give up.
