Your thoughts on MMA fighting....

So this thing with Kahbib and McGregor tosses my mind in a whirlwind.  My brother loves this stuff and most males I know do.  But I'm like straight up appalled by what is basically to me a human putbull fight.  How is this even legal?  There in a cage even!  While I've always abhorred boxing this is like boxing times a trillion.  

Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.

I am grateful that my husband is not interested in this activity.  I find it barbaric.

While I'm not a fan, at least these guys choose to do it.

 

Poor pit bulls get bullied into it.

Or even worse...to see women involved in it.  Just gross!

Doesn't interest me at all, but since the participants are adults and it's their choice, it's up to them.

I had no idea what MMA meant so opened the thread.  Glad DH is not interested.

OMGosh, right.  I'd get my azz kicked so thoroughly.  Seriously tho, it's just way out of the box.  Like someone else said, barbaric.  Like we're back in Roman times.

Re: Your thoughts on MMA fighting....

i am not interested in it at all, but i do love the NFL.

 

i have male and female friends that love the UFC and make big party events around these fights, enjoy friendly "trash talking" to each other, and look forward to the stuff that happens outside of the ring.

Re: Your thoughts on MMA fighting....

There was a guy in my family who tried it.  He went to a competition in Ohio and the other guy wiped the floor with him.  Thank goodness it was over quickly and there were no permanent injuries.  First time I saw him after the event I just shook my head and didn't say a word, probably because my face said it all. 

There are many elements: wind, fire, water
But none quite like the element of surprise
