Not too long ago, Mixed Martial Arts was seen by the vast majority as nothing more than a senseless bloodsport where two men were locked into a cage to viciously assault one another for the amusement of its fans.

While this may be a somewhat gross overstatement of how the sport was viewed in the beginning, MMA has come a long way since.

It has been over 15 years since fans were introduced to the UFC and MMA and during that time this sport has seen a lot of changes.

WARREN COUNTY, NJ -- A shoving match that ensued when an angry parent charged a coach at a youth wrestling tournament at Belvidere High School has officials from the Tri-County Youth Wrestling League looking to speak with witnesses as well as the parties involved.

According to police, Robert Spezza, of Liberty Township, allegedly assaulted Dan Shamsudin, a coach with Parsippany PAL, after the Redhawks had defeated Hackettstown 80-0 in a midget wrestling match.

"This guy went crazy, trampled one of our kids and sent him to the hospital," Dan Shamsudin's brother, Sharif Shamsudin, said.

Spezza, 40, reportedly accused coach Shamsudin, 28, of using delay tactics during the match then came out of the bleachers and knocked him to the gymnasium floor.
