[Jerry the mouse]

I used to brand my hotdogs with the UFC logo, so I'd say so.

 

[Vojislav]

I think we need to use the term more often to distinguish between true MMA fans, the purists, who want to retain the original spirit of NHB, and the new fans who like "money fights", WWE drama and things like that.

 

[joeyjoejoe]

No more of an alcoholic who enjoys cage fighting.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

I need a better explanation of what "purist" means before I go pretending to be one.

 

[AminoAcid]

Yes. MMA triumps all.

 

[FinalConflict2005]

Swangin n’ bangin is how I like my cage fighting. None of that ju jitsu shit rolling around on the ground.

A purist is one who desires that an item remains true to its essence and free from adulterating or diluting influences.

 

[Fossor]

I am a Blood God orthodox.

 

[Kingz]

No, since there are still plenty of things Id like to change about MMA. Rules, judging criteria, etc.

A purist reacts critically to any change to the way the sport is traditionally played. MMA still being very young is still working out the kinks.

 

[smart.feller]

I only watch UFC fights while wearing my gi, so of course I am.
