I kinda used to think that way about boxing. I wanted to see some unlimited (or less restricted) fighting.

Now that we have it in the form of UFC and MMA, I prefer boxing. Seeing an @$$ whooping in a movie can be entertaining, but seeing it for real in MMA leaves me feeling disturbed. It's too brutal.

Maybe I'm getting soft in my old age (almost 53) but I know not to watch stuff that bothers me lest I should find myself unable to sleep.
