Also I guess people like Inoki who submitted Spinks in an exhibition shouldn't be classified right?
Also whats wrong with doing Kata's? Is there something wrong with that? If people want to do a martial art like Karate of Kung Fu is that wrong? Just because it's not going to be useful in a cage fight you make it sound like all those years of developing discipline and improving health is useless... I'm sorry but Martial Arts in more than just about bashing the shit out of someone and proving you're the tough man...

This much I agree with. It's about doing something you love, getting healthy and not just physically either.
Also the argument that MMA guys make the best "real" fighters only holds true in so far as it's the closest sport version to a real fight. But the fact of the matter is that in a street fight anything can happen and usually the person with the worst intentions and the jump initially in the fight ends up walking away in better shape. Most fights don't start face to face with both guys thinking the fight is on sadly.
