RE: Am I a chauvinist? I really didn’t enjoy the Shevchenko vs. Cachoeira fight

in #ufc7 years ago

I missed that lopsided fight, looks like it should’ve been stopped real early. That’s not good entertainment or a good contest.

I love love the brilliance of the competition & multi disciplined marial arts mastery on display in the ufc. I hate hate hate the lack of respect most US fans have for what they are watching. One hard shin to the head will change your whole brain functioning & life forever. So I end up watching fights with a very few select people these days, mostly people that have been close to veteran fighters & seen the consequences first hand.

I like to see tactical fighting, the smartest possible way to defeat your opponent. I don’t like seeing intelligent fighters intentionally brawl to sell fights. Strategy should be embraced by fans in my opinion. It is chess with dire consequences out there & most of them get paid very little for what they do.

The sport is evolving quickly & soon we will see a generation of fighters that have trained more mma specific skills since childhood. Gladiators
