It’s difficult for a diehard MMA fan to have an in depth discussion about the sport with a more casual fan, especially those who may only have an opinion on Anderson Silva or Jon Jones. Some of you out there claim to be MMA fanatics but you aren’t true fans. While I have no problem with casual fans who respect and appreciate a good brawl in the cage, it’s the ignorant so called “fans” who claim to love and know every aspect of MMA, but don’t seem to know the basic common knowledge that goes with that claim. To those people, I propose a test so to see just how loyal to the sport they truly are. The test is simple, you just can’t answer yes to any of the following questions.
Do You Think…
1.) The UFC is a college?
2.) Dana White is a woman?
3.) Rich “Ace” Franklin plays poker?
4.) Forrest Griffin is an Irish plantation?
5.) The Natural Born Killer is only a movie?
6.) Judo is the capital of Alaska?
7.) Jiu-Jitsu was created by the Jews?
8.) Fedor “The Last Emperor” Emelianenko is in a history book?
9.) Joe Rogan is most famous for hosting FEAR FACTOR?
10.) Minotauro Nogueria is a mythical creature?
11.) Melvin Guillard and Sisqo are the same person?
12.) Clay Guida is an Italian play-doh?
13.) Dan “The Outlaw” Hardy is a crook?
14.) You can‘t sweep your opponent without a broom?
15.) Cro Cop is a bird?
16.) Heath Herring is a fish?
17.) Team Quest is at the Renaissance Fair?
18.) Tim “The Maine-iac” Sylvia is in a mental institution?
19.) GSP is a TV network?
20.) Muay Thai is on an Asian menu?
21.) Martian “The Hitman” Kampmann is a contract killer?
22.) Full guard is a deodorant?
23.) Rubber guard is a condom?
24.) Wanderlei “The Axe Murderer” Silva is a serial killer?
25.) The rear naked choke is done in the nude?
I pray that no one who considers themselves knowledgeable about MMA answered yes to any of these questions, if so, I strongly advise those individuals to study up on MMA as if it was your college midterm. For the sake of the sport, we need to make sure the fans are educated.
