Default PLease help..may be important for mma!

hey guys and girls, I am presently conducting research into the prevalence and type of injury incurred by mma fighters both competitive and non-competitive.

Please consider taking part in this study as with the recent bad press relating to mma as i'm sure you’re all aware is b.s.

I am myself on the pro side of mma participation and hope that if you guys could spare me a little time i may be able to help remove the metaphorical monkey (in some part anyway) from mma's back.

This research is hopefully going to compare injury in mma to other sports and hopefully show that mma is not as dangerous as other sports. but in advance i'm telling anyone who takes part will obviously remain anonymous, unfortunately to maintain academic integrity i ask anyone who's interested to be as honest as possible and to let the mma community know as a researcher i have to report my results no-matter what they conclude (for or against mma) as much as it pains me to admit it.

With that in mind please don't put your name forward if you try to bias results, statistics will tell, and waste my time!!

The research will comprise of a relatively simple questionnaire which takes 10-15 minutes max to complete. If you are interested please e-mail me at elrimsky@hotmail.com or leave your e-mail here and i'll check on it periodically and contact those interested.

The more people involved the more valid the argument, so please help me and the sport. (good plea huh!!)

I hope that you are gathering information from somewhere besides the internet, and besides forums that are obviously going to be biased in favor of whatever the better outcome for MMA and it's image. You would do yourself a disservice and MMA a disservice by basing any arguement on internet complied data from anonymous sources only.

It's an open ended questionnaire so wouldn't possibly be able to post questions on here, too much work plus difficult to follow up.

No I'm not just using internet also conducting interviews and possible video analysis, still refining my methods at the moment
