Bloodiest Fight in the UFC

Read back again.
The point was not that the fighters are idiots, it was that there are too many idiots watching it and it glorifies fighting for them...
The world would be a better place without this shit.

And many people are watching boxing where fighting is glorified. And many people are watching movies where fighting is glorified. And people are listening to music where fighting is glorified. And many people are watching GI Joe where fighting is glorified. And many people are reading books where fighting is glorified. And many people are playing video games where fighting is glorified. And people are watching hockey where fighting is glorified. And people are watching middleschool football and wrestling where fighting is ritualized and simulated and glorified.
So it seems that not only the UFC, and not only Mixed Martial Arts, but entertainment of virtually all kinds must be abolished in order to cure our fetish for fighting.
But in the final analysis this too proves completely inadequate, and in fact all of this is of minimal importance on the grand social scale. Because all of these past instances are more or less simulated/controlled/fake/ritualized fighting. Consider this: People all around the world are watching wars on TV where [REAL] fighting is glorified by their governments. Consider that the world exists under an economic system where dog-eat-dog fighting in the market is the ideal for personal success and the basis of the rags-to-riches American dream. If you're so concerned about the fake fighting, your best change of eliminating its glorification would be to eliminate the economic and social system that is dependent on the real fighting. I can't promise you that it will work, because I believe that there will be a place for athletic competition even in a peaceful and just world. But I can promise you that banning a book, or a CD, or a movie, or a sport will not end or even reduce violence in a world system dependent on violence.
