I've been calling for Saku to retire for years and won't pay to watch any show he's on. Sapp too. I seriously don't know why people like Neil even bother watching a sport when they have so little regard for its participants, but I guess the choice is yours. BTW Jon, the expression is "with bated breath" :) To a lot of us, MMA (etc) is a sport, and when regulated with even a bit of a conscience, we can minimize some risks in the ring.

This is idiotic. Just dont do a sport where youre getting blows to the head. Youre solution is fight until you are slightly retarded but stop before you get brain dead retarded. Couture has been a sub 500 fighter for the past 5-6 years and yet they still take out his old carcass because it sells tickets. Rampage has delusions, heard god speak to him and got some serious beatings in PRIDE not to mention his recent hallucinating drive where he was chased and taken down by cops in which he was driving on the sidewalks with people jumpiing out of the way, then hitting a car with that pregnant women who miscarried. No psychiatric care or evaluation needed, it was because he was 'driving when he hadnt eaten' (!!!). Nope, right back in the ring. Because he puts butts in seats. You want healthy? Go watch golfers. This is prize fighting where every blow to the head is brain damage. >Remember this up and coming fighters: save your money so you can save your brain.
