So I’m in the gym the other night.  They have like 5 televisions in the Cardio Room.  Normally they have a mixture of News and Sports on.  The other night for the first time that I have seen there, they had on Mixed Martial Arts (Cage Fighting / UFC) event.  For a couple of different reason I have never gotten into watching MMA.  But that night at the gym – I did.  After running I came back several times between sets and watched.  In fact I found myself annoyed when I missed seeing the winner of one match that I saw the beginning of.  As I drove home I thought back about why I was drawn back to see the fights.  As I thought about it, the only honest answer I came to, I didn’t really like.  I was rubber necking.  Like driving down the road and seeing a car wreck ahead and slowing down as you pass to for no particular reason other then to see the mess.  I know other people say they have good reason for enjoying watching the sport.  Here are 3  view from a Marine Corp veteran, a former football coach / missionary and former Cage fighter.
