HDNet will present exclusive interview with Assemblyman Bob Reilly on “Inside MMA,” on September 3 at 9:00 PM ET. Bob Reilly is the man leading the charge against legalizing mixed martial arts in the state of New York.
Reilly said “What attracts people to Ultimate Fighting unfortunately is the violence and violence is not good for our society. The difference between mixed martial arts and every other sport is that in mixed martial arts the purpose is to damage your opponent.”
Kenny Rice and Bas Rutten are joined on the panel this week by Randy and Ryan Couture and Bellator Middleweight Champion Hector Lombard, all who strongly disagree with Reilly’s statements.
“I think it’s an uneducated view,” says Randy Couture. “He doesn’t understand our sport. We’re not crazy, we’re not dangerous, this is not violence, it’s a combative sport.”
Also on this week’s show, the Coutures discuss their respective recent victories in the cage, and Lombard talks about his upcoming title defense.
Plus, Ron Kruck has breaking news on a Bellator fighter who isn’t letting a recent diagnosis with leukemia keep him out of the gym, and the “Inside America’s Gyms” series continues with a look at the Grudge Training Center in Wheat Ridge, CO.
