Tieken52 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Sportscenter gave Marquardt the #6 spot on their top plays, and now on the show on ESPN2, Sportsnation. They have a segment called 3 tears, and they gave the 3 tears to Demian Maia for getting knocked out by Marquardt. Showed the clip, then talk for just a bit about how MMA is bit more regulated then Boxing. I thought they showed the good side of UFC and the sport of MMA. Just another reason why MMA is bigger and better then boxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha_Omega Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Did they mention how he restrained that second punch? If so, Marquardt did wonders for this sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God knows other sources just love to dwell on & try to negatively embellish the sport to demonize it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha_Omega Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 That's exactly what they did. That's awesome. I think that move along might make people realize that the fighters in this sport are not savages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God knows other sources just love to dwell on & try to negatively embellish the sport to demonize it. The problem as I see it is the demographic. The older fight fans tend to lean towards boxing and fail to acknowledge mma as anything but a bloodsport. These same people include the closed minded politicians who give our sport the negative press and refuse to pass regulations allowing mma into many markets. It's getting better but still frustratingly slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
