I used to watch MMA/UFC until I realsied how it brings out the worst in people (the commentators included).
I will freely admit that I have no problem with two people voluntarily fighting, in fact I find it fascinating, however my experience with "UFC" left me feeling disturbed and I will no longer support it /watch it.
The reason I no longer agree with MMA is that due to the Frank Mir vs Antonio Rodrigo Minotauro Fight "UFC 140" (10/12/11).
In my opinion what happened in the fight itself was not "wrong" but the total lack of respect and empathy from the commentators/announcers was genuinely shocking, and was a million miles away from the "Martial Code" as I understand it.
The way I see it is that the announcers are the "masters of Ceremony" and have a responsibility to conduct themselves in a "respectful" manner.
Here is a video of the incident, as I said before it is not the fact that a limb was broken that offends me, it is the reaction of the commentators/announcers.
(WARNING GRAPHIC)
I have not watched any MMA/UFC fights since this one, and I don't think I will again, especially after I learned that people (supposed MMA Fans) were using the internet to share X-Ray images of Antonio Rodrigo Minotauro's dislocated and broken shoulder/arm, I was naive enough to previously think that there was an "unspoken" oath or code of respect.
that illusion was shattered when I learned of the "X-factor/Big Brother style" MMA/UFC show. One other issue is that some younger people will inevitably have access to "watch" UFC/MMA fights so the need for good "ethics" is paramount, but in my opinion MMA/UFC/whatever they re-brand it as next, is just a big meat grinder, and a lot of "unsuitable" combatants will be allowed and even encouraged to fight because "money" and "entertainment" take precedence over morals.
But hey that's business I guess, so as I said before all I can do, is to not watch it in protest.
