[QUOTE="TheKitten, post: 1490462, member: 565946"] MMA is a sport just like any other sport. It is not, as advertised, the ultimate test of martial arts. The reason styles end up all resembling each other in the UFC is not because they're coming up with the "ultimate" style (that's just the publicity). The reason is the sport is set up to favor certain approaches more than others. In order to compete and be successful in this setting, a Shaolin would have to undo years and years of some of the hardest training done on earth and learn something completely new. Not likely to happen. Apples and oranges. [/QUOTE]
