After I saw Wanderlei Silva knocked out Quinton Jackson in the second round with knees, I was so excited about the fighting that I couldn't focus on my homework. In my high school, all the students, who watched the game, were talking about how Silva won right after being knocked down himself near the end of the first round.
During lunch break in high school, the boys started playing, called UFC tournament in gymnasium. The rule was simple: two participants fought each other until either one got knocked out or abandoned the game. In the first fight, a student with Judo the second degree black belt and over 300 pounds threw the other student, who only weighed around 150 ponds to the floor. The other boy, who was thrown, lost his consciousness, and was sent to hospital. The boy injured his right arm, but he was in no danger of losing his life. The student, who threw the other student, was taken his black belt away and suspended from school for a week.
I was also the second degree black belt in Judo, and the guy, who was suspended, was my team mate. I was disappointed how he disobeyed the rule not to use Judo techniques outside the Dojo. At the same time, I understood how he was excited to fight after seeing the amazing fight between Silva and Jackson.
UFC stimulates the fighting spirits of many young people. I think high school students may not be strong enough to suppress their emotions.
