Is it possible that this season of politeness on TUF is the direction it is headed. Could The UFC be trying to change the image of MMA into that of a more mature sport without grown men playing house with roommates they bicker with like and old couple while they kick down doors.

Ithink its possible. The MMA community is taking major steps to become a respected sanctioned sport in more jurisdictions and lose the "human ****fighting" image its been given. I personally see this as a more enjoyable thing to see. Like anything else, *********s can take the ground covered by the UFC in this regard and drive it back years with senseless acts of stupidity like crowd fights (be them at UFC events or not) or just attempted acts of intimidation.

There is a big following of MMA fans and athletes that love the sport for what it is, a sport. At the same time, there are said *********s who see it as "man kick man, man bleed, man go to sleep me buy tapout shirt and fight in bar".
