MMA it self is a spectacle. MMA in a true Hand to hand fight would be better than nothing and would even be better than many disciplined martial arts. But lets take an MMA fighter who has only fought inside the ring and never in a street fight. Because of the amount of rules that restrain you in MMA such as groin hits, eye gouging, biting, hair pulling the other guy is not gonna follow those and do whatever it takes to win.
