Artie really hit em with the Hein there!Artie Lange had a great bit about that. To paraphrase (and adjust for an mma forum):
Spelling Bee. What would be better, watching fighters hit the punch machine or watching Mike Perry try to spell the word "RECEIPT" ???
yeah, thats more for journalists and hardcores. They need goofy-ass shit for people watching ESPN.Not a bad idea.
Anything open weight class wouldn't be approved, maybe for grappling.
An "NFL Combine" type athletic event could be interesting. Top MMA fighters competing against each other in events such as 100m sprint, 5000m or 10000m race, 4x4 relay-races with one fighter from each division.
But, this is definitely hard-core thing. Casuals wouldn't give the slightest fuck about these kind of events.
