For those who aren’t familiar with the term, it means believing something that probably shouldn’t be believed, or being influenced to believe something that’s not necessarily in your best interests.

    MMA also has rules and it’s also a sport, but it has the less amount of rules so it’s the sport that more closely resembles real fights. But still self-defense (think Krav-Maga or similar) has lots of stuff that is not allowed in MMA. That being said, MMA is the safest way to train against a fully uncooperative attacker, so it’s the best way to train self-defense on the long run, but some classes and training on how to properly kick balls, bite, and gauge eyes are a great addition for real life-or-death situations.
