Boxing, wrestling, kickboxing decided they would have too much explaining to do to their Sikh, and Muslim participants as to why they can't compete. So I don't see MMA going any differently. About the grappling, the most prestigious grappling tourny in the world carries the name Abu Dhabi. Although I can't think of any bearded competitors off hand(one's that compare with Kimbo's beard), I just don't see them making a big deal out of the beard thing. Good point though, nobody's really brought it up before for MMA. The beard controversy has come up before .

And I am not saying the beard would affect punching but possibly grappling. I know this has been an issue with Arlovski before but Kimbo’s beard is a beadt of its own.
