DALLAS (June 24, 2011) Award winning actor Ed O’Neill joins the panel of HDNet’s hit sports show “Inside MMA” tonight, June 24^th, 2011. “Inside MMA” hosts Kenny Rice and Bas Rutten are joined by panelists O’Neill (“Modern Family” “Married With Children”),UFC co-creator Rorion Gracie and UFC Featherweight Javier Vasquez to cover wide-ranging hot topics facing MMA.

During a revealing discussion on bullying, O’Neill talks about being bullied as a child but that a “code of honor among boys” prevents kids from talking to a teacher or adult about such issues. And Gracie, who has been O’Neill’s Jiu-Jitsu mentor for over 17 years, matter-of-factly says “bullies are not born, they are created.”
