MMA femme fatales

People make fun of me, but I don't care. I like the new version of Mixed Martial Arts, which just concluded a network television broadcast that was watched by millions.

Some organizations put on a good show, hiding animalistic savagery in a rules-driven sport.

I agree that the EliteXC show CBS aired weeks ago was garbage. But the sport itself is entirely different. It's moody, generally action-packed and exciting.

The rules have also changed over the years. It has evolved from the bare-fisted, "nothing's illegal" bloodsport from the first few years to the media-friendly phenomenon we know today. Now that's progress.

And some of the female fighters are as dangerous as
they are attractive. True femme fatales.
