You don't really want to know. But mixed martial arts, as you might imagine, combines many different fighting techniques. A well-rounded fighter will combine many styles, or he can choose from a menu of up to 12 combat combos. I recommend the number five. It's judo. plus a side order of repeated elbow punching to the neck and unlimited fountain soda.

I don't recall that actually being... Combat combos, John. The important thing is, two men enter the ring, but only one man... Well, both men leave the ring, but only one of them does so, having won the fight. But I say ring, of course, because it's actually a cage, a cage that is shaped as an octagon.

If you wanted people to fight in an eight-sided cage, wouldn't the natural choice of shape be an octagon? I'm not trying to embarrass you. It's just you ask me a question like that.

Well, first of all, this is not stage. It's not professional wrestling or soccer. These are real men really going at it on the floor of an octagon. I mean, it's no wonder that millions of Americans are forsaking the bloated pomposity of older sports for Ultimate Fighting's more authentic brand of homoeroticism. Those moves are beautiful. That's dancing as much as it is fighting.
