Twitter reacts to Metamoris 4
But Metamoris has proven across now four events that high profile no gi grappling matches can be a sport so exciting that people will pay to watch it on the Internet.
Grappling is not an inherently exciting sport, even if you know what is going on. And how many people know what the Donkey Guard is, anyway? But Metamoris has proven across now four events that high profile no gi grappling matches can be a sport so exciting that people will pay to watch it on the Internet.
The gi matches are still not exciting. Limiting them to one Saturday night was a wise choice.
As with all matters on the planet large and small, Twitter reacted, as noted by MMAFighting.
