I'd loooove to read a convincing argument as to why "UFC is similar to human cockfighting'. Seriously, bring it out.

The UFC is similar to human cockfighting. Cockfighting is simply an organized fight between two roosters in a modified ring. Sometimes the fights end in death or serious injury. The birds are trained for quite a long time for these fights. I would imagine 'human cockfighting' is simply humans fighting instead of birds.
The UFC is an organized fight between two humans in a modified ring. Sometimes the fight ends in serious injury, although no death has been recorded in the UFC. I think there was one death somewhere, but I forget the details. The humans train for quite a long time for these fights.
There are many other sports where humans battle each other, aside from MMA.
I am not sure why you think they are much different? What is it about the comparison that you dislike?
Oh yeah, I am a huge fan of MMA...my life changed dramatically after a buddy brought over UFC 1 and 2 on video just after 2 aired. That is when I started training, quit smoking and really took care of myself.
