Your take on Ultimate Fighting

[Bells]

So, i stand here and i'm watching as UFC 110 is being announced on TV, and they are showing all these fighters and this dramatic editing and all these clips and interviews and Training Montages....

...I know it's a "Sport"... but i don't see it as a sport you know?

Even Boxing (which i'm not really a fan of) has a silver lining. A Control, a "Sportsmanship" aura to it... and even though it's just two guys beating each other, there is still the sense that the goal is to simply outmatch the performance of your opponent.

Ultimate Fighting... just... doesn't give me that Feeling. It's people beating the crap out of each other for no god damn reason. The goal is not to outmatch our out-skill or out-perform your foe, it's to pummel each other until someone crosses the line where it would be too inhuman to beat him any further.

And yeah yeah i know all about the "Oh, but their training is insane!" well... as far as i care, training doesn't make the sport. In any sport there will always be that one guy that pushes the limit to be the best, it's only natural for the others to follow suit if they want to stay competitive. Just look at Tiger Wood's training for an example... beyond anything i would ever imagine.

I also know all too well about how this sport just feeds our basic instincts as humans and men... i just think we don't need to indulge in any sports that require one human being to make another one bleed on purpose as a means to a goal. It's just unnecessary, actually, irrelevant.

Hell, even the ancient Roman Gladiators had a better aura than this... there was an actual goal to win, purpose. And going for the "straw" argument here... it was "the" thing to do. Nowadays? We have options, we don't have to be bored, we can be entertained anywhere at any time... we don't really need to put 2 over-trained muscle men to Beat each other for a cheap rush... yet, we do.

This is just a condensed brainstormed rant to see where the subject goes...
