The judging and decision were debatable, but that wasn't what I took away from it. Sene needs to develop his skills and learn how to defend the takedowns. Given that he'd had only two (I think) pro fights, it seems likely that he'll improve. Yeah, maybe he should have won, but he would have if he could've stayed on his feet in the third round. Guy's got an interesting back story and has the drive. Hope he sticks with it. I watched his fight several days after the episode aired.

Rant: It is great to be in this period of the build-up of the sport. It is like the early days of basketball. Everyone is thinking, creative, constant excitement about the sport growing. This site (and mmajunkie) emulates that aspect for me. The only sport I follow is MMA, but ....with the exception of the occasional great player like Michael Jordan to spice things up... most major sports feel boring and contrived, like a big corporation. I assume one day MMA will get to that point. man I love this site. great interview, these kind add intellect to the sport.

It's good to know what kind's people are getting into MMA and they've done before in life. Sene's case is interesting to me because I have close friend's over there who are very dear to me and I do hear a lot of the same. So, in a small sort of way, I can relate. For me, that's as close to the conflict in Iraq or just plan active duty as I'll ever get. I think over the next 5 years we'll starting seeing a lot of veteran's of the armed service, college wrestler's and former professional sport athele's getting into MMA. This would also include people who practice traditional martial arts, of course. Kinda like how college football prepare for professional football when school is done for them (and by professional I mean, not just the NFL). All these people, over time, would already know they want to do MMA and would know they need to train themselves in all aspects of the sport before they get somewhere like...Miltech, Jackson, Gracie, DelaGrotte. Not that they need to go to those places right away, even somewhere local where they can build their skills to become a professional MMA fighter. Although, having someone like Greg Jackson would deffinatly give you a leg up if you you ask me, however, it's all up to you to once the fight start's. Excellent interview Sam, awesome stuff.
