MMA is part of a milennia-long tradition of domesticating would-be warriors by making them fight in a circus for entertainment rather than on the battlefield for their families and way of life. Countless regional martial arts were eradicated by expanding empires and replaced with ineffectual sport or dance, with only a few remembering the old ways in secret.

Imagine how much more dangerous and deadly the best MMA fighters would be if they weren't captured by a sport. If they took their ability and used it to fight for their own people against their true enemies.
