15 questions they may as well have asked during the now infamous TV3-MMA debate

Finally, the douchechills have subsided.

We've not seen much more uninformed criticism of mixed martial arts than the "anti" side of the debate from journalist and sports historian Eoghan Corry on Wednesday night. Corry's arguments against the legitimacy of MMA included the fact that eye gouging was once allowed in the UFC, something that is factually inaccurate. The research from host Tom McGurk wasn't much better with his proclamation that, to his eyes, there were no rules in mixed martial arts despite the fact that the sport is now heavily regulated and has more rules than ever before. We've thought of 15 questions so preposterous that they may as well have been posed to SBG head coach John Kavanagh who, to be fair, dealt with the debate with aplomb. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8   9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
