UFC was never a proper tournament (fighters are chosen by admin not by a regimented competition scheme) but now that it lives under the WWE umbrella everyone should receive it as a spectacle and not a sport anyway.
It's a shame because I absolutely love MMA but hate UFC. Unfortunately they have the best talent and I feel torn on it. Lately I've been keeping up with the regional scene more than UFC. At least I can afford the front row seats at these events.
They can have them. Always found boxing/mma/ufc/etc pretty pointless. It’s just the glorification of violence.
It’s just the glorification of violence.
So that's boxing, american football, ice hockey, rugby, wrestling (all kinds), all martial arts and even fencing we have to leave to the reactionaries.
That’s quite the reductive assertion you have there… Why stop with your list? Aren’t all sports fundamentally a preparation for war?
Cage fighting feels different. In all the other sports, yes, violence does occur, but in cage fighting the violence is the product. I am sure it’s only a matter of time before Trump or some other rich fuck sits ringside and at the end of a bout points his thumb downward… The man wants to be Caesar, we get it.
it’s wrong on the WH lawn and it probably should be banned on medical grounds, too.

Perhaps they are... I never said that this was necessarily a bad thing. After all... peace does not work on fascists nor their liberal handlers.
and it probably should be banned on medical grounds, too.
If we're going to do that boxing, rugby and american football should be up for the chop, too - even professional wrestling. You do understand what the term "punch drunk" means, right?
I dont back this guy but you are including sports thst do not require violence
you are including sports thst do not require violence
They did not say "requires violence" - they said "glorifies violence." All the sports I mentionded can easily be accused of that.
I disagree, dodging is a massive of part of boxing no doubt but the game is boxing and the goal is knockout.
Rugby has hits and tackles but they are not particularly violent or vicious, though there are obviously outliers. That said a great game of rugby could be played without any major hits. The game used the prioritise agility and speed and while it still does the game syle has switched to bigger players making big hits. A team of ultra fast strong agile players could make a serious go against a team of heavy hitters.

You're absolutely correct - there's absolutely nothing violent about punching somebody in the face in any way whatsoever.

Clyde, listen to me very carefully... you're talking to someone who grew up in a fascist country obsessed with rugby. They didn't fetishise it because it promotes peace - get it?
You completely missed the point because you wanted to be snide.
No. I think you are the one that missed the point - right from the outset.
Oh it is pointless to you so just fuck with them? I have a very fitting quote for you and those who think like that:
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
