MMA is only a “team sport” for the duration of a training camp: once you’re tying up with someone, the idea that you’ve got three guys in jerseys in your corner means squat. (Unless they have a stretcher.)
"I know the fun and profitability that an investment in a professional sports team can provide," Englebrecht said in a release. "I know about the dreams of most every sports fan to be just like Jerry Jones, Jerry Buss, Arte Moreno, or George Steinbrenner and own a pro sports team, as I realized that dream with the [minor league baseball team] Quakes. Now the dream of owning a professional sports team can become a reality with the purchase of a PMMAL team.”
Other realities: bankruptcy, soup kitchens, and medical bills. MMA will never be able to emulate mainstream ball games, and this is a concept without brakes or an airbag.
