This article is very well written and gives a great notion on the sport. At least from another foreigner point of view who lived there for only about 2 months.

This article is very well written and gives a great notion on the sport. At least from another foreigner point of view who lived there for only about 2 months. One interesting thing I noticed is that the very big role of magic at the fights doesn't fundamentally change how the sport is perceived and followed as social and cultural phenomenom. I would assume it would be followed with some trace of religious approach, but no. It is the same of how other sports are followed on other countries and particularly similar to fight sports with long preparations and relatively short matches.
