Source outing Michael Vick as Heavyweight in dog fighting compares dog fighting to UFC

In an interview with ESPN's Outside the Line's on the on-going investigation in to Atlanta Falcons Quarterback Michael Vick's connection to dog fighting, an unidentified source connected Vick to the world of dog fighting in a big way.

More behind the cut...



The source when explaining why he did what he did said the following:

The source said he consented to our interview to change people's perceptions about dog fighting because they have "the wrong idea" about it and should see "just one" match for themselves before judging it. "They'll let this other thing go -- what is it called? UFC [Ultimate Fighting Championship]?" he asked.
"That is every bit as bad -- you know, that's terrible. But then you have thousands of people that cheer, rah, rah, and they really love that. You see
guys get their heads busted, you know, and they get their arms messed up, their legs twisted almost off. But then they fuss over this here, is wrong."

Comparing Dog Fighting to the UFC is one of the stupidest things I think I've ever heard. Where's the referee to make sure the Pitbulls follow the Unified Rules of Dog Fighting? UFC is a sport with rules, Dog fighting is a barbaric treatment of animals that often leads to death. Compare the death rate among MMA fighters to that of fighting dogs and see which is higher.

Also, I don't know what purpose or need there would be for the use of a rape stand to breed Mixed Martial Artists. This dog fighting source is just looking for a way to validate his activity in the eyes of the public. Its just too bad his comparison doesn't hold any water when examined for beyond, oh say, a second or so.
