Here's the gig...
My interests in MMA are more traditional through experiences in practising Karate/ wrestling and loving Kung-fu films/ Eastern culture.
Ive been following MMA 10x longer than hockey, I've invested a lot of time not only watching hundreds of events, but watching hundreds of the different interviews and training vids promoting the main fighters through out so many careers.
That being said, aside from being a money making machine, Conor is complete cancer to the SPORT of MMA.
His mindless and violently drunkin fans are aids.
His promotions shits on ancient traditions of honor and absolutely misrepresents the beauty of the art.
Hope he is done.
I hate to shatter your little illusion kid but the 'sport of mma' LOL. It's prize fighting buddy, always has been always will be. Your old Kung Fu movies can talk about honor and warrior code all they want it's all bullshit. Ask the supposed living embodiment of old school Bushido code Loyoto Machida... Oh wait, he gets popped for a mild test enhancer lol
Ufc old school two rules: No biting no eye gouging. Could still do them ofc, just face a fine.Zero drug testing. Ive seen multiple guys get nut punched/head butted into Oblivion. I remember watching Dan Severn sit in half gaurd and gouge his fingers into some poor bastards cut under his eye, further opening it up. Soooo honorable.
Or let's talk the pinnacle of mma (imo) Pride, where everyone and there mom was on steroids, they were bribed backstage to keep fights standing, many many accusations of fixed fights which I could totally see.
Do I even need to get into the circus that is today's MMA game?
It's a great sport and obviously one of my favorites, but they all fight for money and will pretty much do whatever it takes to win. There's nothing wrong with this at all. Conor says dumb shit and gets people filled up, but he is by far the wealthiest fighter in the shortiest ammount of time for a reason, and in the end, that is all these dudes' goals.
