In reply to the discussion: So, Has Anyone Gone to a UFC Event? [View all]Just_Vote_Dem

Some people keep referring to it as wrestling, which it's not. Wrestling is choreographed and if someone actually gets hurt, it's a mistake, whereas injury in UFC is apparently a drawing point, mores the pity. Never attended one but have seen a match on tv. I much prefer the fake, choreographed stuff, better on my conscience as I know the person getting pounded on is not really getting hurt.
