Art Davie is someone who has cemented his name into MMA history, but his new creation, XARM could be a tough sell. Xtreme arm wrestling as the next big thing? Only time will tell, but here’s a few quotes from Davie’s latest blog entry:
I was the guy who started this sport and let me say, for the record, that I love MMA. But, I’m not the only one or the first one to say that the MMA seems to have has lost its way. MMA, and specifically the UFC, have stopped delivering the kind of extreme fighting sport that fans have come to expect. Some are saying now that the UFC has de-evolved. First it was a spectacle, then it gained acceptance as a sport and now it’s back to being a spectacle.
Not too long ago the UFC really cared about putting solid fights together. Now, they seem more interested in providing a neat, corporate package like the WWE with their stable of entertainers. They’ve become a business looking to sell their groomed fighters. What does it say about the UFC when you have a pro wrestler, with a 2-1 record, beating their hall-of-fame Heavyweight Champion? And I don’t even want to get into the farce that was ProEliteXC. Some are saying that the UFC is fast becoming just like the WWE……pure entertainment and less of a SPORT.
The Outsider isn’t sure about it but here’s the product that Davie thinks will be the next big sport:
