It's kind of fun to watch jacked up guys in tight shorts obliterate each other. In the early days of mixed martial arts it really was fun watching it. They actually used martial arts techniques. I took part in taekwondo for 25 years, and enjoyed watching it. Now, it's pretty disgusting.

I used to watch boxing when it was on TV more but could never get interested in UFC even though I'm part of their targeted demographic when it first came out.

It seems like those around the UFC are into right wing politics so that is another reason why I'm not interested.

They host MMA, Muy Thai and other types of bouts. Fun but low key. Can be found on YouTube.
