Video: 20 years after calling it 'human cockfighting,' Senator John McCain finally gives MMA its due

Not long after Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) celebrated its 20th anniversary (details), Senator John McCain -- who once referred to cagefighting as "human cockfighting" -- came forward to give the sport of mixed martial arts (MMA) its due on Capitol Hill, as UFC and other lead organizations joined forces to combat head trauma (video). Now all we need is legislation in New York and we'll be in business.
