Really!?! No, really!! Well it is a postmodern sport, you're correct on that part but that's about it. I've refereed over 40 bouts and I've seen 1 punch and never a bite, it's hard to bite someone with a mouthguard in your mouth.
Why does it have to be a novelty sport or it doesn't' really work? What does a sport have to do to be considered legitimate in your opinion? These are real athletes that do serious training, it's not your local softball league where practice consists of playing in games (no offense softballers), these women (that's what I call them) practice multiple times a week and I dare you to try to keep up with them for even half a practice. And if you do give it a try I recommend having a puke bucket ready for when they push you beyond your limits.
Folks, don't blame Mr. Maldonado too much, alas this is just an average example of modern journalism with it's budget cuts and lack of feet on the street, where fact checking amounts to a google search and interviews are overhearing a fan outside the venue.
