This has been bugging me all week and I always buy the OK magazine on Friday's which Jedward wrote an article about and also this week Colleen Nolan wrote an article about. Some of you know that there was a bit of controversy about the 2 Kid's doing an MMA fight. See for yourselves. www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3827583/The-cage-fighters-aged-EIGHT.htmlMe personally am looking to know what you people think.? My view is, it wasn't an MMA fight, it was a grappling fight, which I have been to loads now as Rob is always competing in the U.K in them and these guy's the same age are competing in similar surroundings, only their on mats. !!! The only difference was they were in a cage. I honestly didn't see anything wrong with them fighting, but what I didn't like was the ring girls half naked their a bit young for that. I do think children nowadays are wanting to get more and more into grappling and wrestling. Like in the U.S wrestling is started very young in schools and half of the UFC fighters today are proof of that. Also the Kid's didn't have gloves on so there was no striking. The reason I wanted to bring this topic up was the fact that the magazines are branding them some kind of animals and the sport is not safe, which I think is ridiculous. Just one last thing! they were d**n good too, very technical and would shock half the adults. Thats my view but what do you reckon. ?

just watched this .tought standard was was deadly.kids are trying these moves everywhere as its the fastest growing sport everywhere and i think its much better they learn to do the moves properly in a club.i didnt see any actual hitting and would love my six yearold to be able to defend himseif like that.as for the ring girls well thats just an added bonus ;D

I think my biggest issue was the environment it seemed they were being exploited for profit but I have no objection to this type of training in children.
