How a Czech soccer hooligan became a UFC champion, via Japan

Personally I'd say football hooliganism is a lot more respectable compared to UFC.

You're comparing a bunch of criminals, destroying things in a state of anarchy, with an organized sport, sanctioned by athletic commissions, with rules and requirements around it meant to ensure a minimum of long-term damage to the fighter, and extremely strict rules about fighting outside the octagon in say, a state of anarchy.

If you are the type of person who thinks that is more respectable, then personally, I can't find your opinion one worthy of respect, as I have a major problem with anarchists, criminals, and those who fly against the rule of order, and therefore I cannot respect any opinion that supports them over athletes out making an attempt at perfecting a highly skilled sport.

Personally I'd say football hooliganism is a lot more respectable compared to UFC.

Boxing is majestic. Especially armature boxing. Love it. Dont like UFC.

This simple display of brutality is anything but a sport.

I disagree. UFC rules make for less permanent damage to the participants than pro boxing rules, and the results show that. How many retired UFC fighters with brain damage can you count?

This simple display of brutality is anything but a sport.

It’s sanctioned by athletic commissions, with rules, Wright classes, judges and everything. So what is it you have decided makes it not a sport when the authorizes on sports say otherwise? I’m open minded on this.

Great look! We're giving the younger generation something great to aspire to!....... I'm being sarcastic!

These are MMA style fights mainly between various "hooligans" from various European countries.
