Bloody Elbow Seriously, you're upset there was a fight at the fight?


Ok, I understand sportsmanship and all those arguements.  I thought the fight was in poor taste and showed poor judgement and bad character.

 

But that brawl is not going to ruin MMA.  People want to see fights.  That fight is probably worth more than any of the other three as far as bringing eyes and creating interest.

Dana White goes on rants calling people names (Loretta Hunt) and phony apologizes.  Brock Lesnar barely has any sportsmanship ("I don't respect anyone") and Frank Mir wants to "kill" someone in the cage.  Chael Sonnen doesn't like pink shirts in his 'hood.  Dana White explicitly and overtly lies.  None of this kills MMA.

When football players start pushing and punching after games, is it really such a big deal that they get suspended for months on end?  When dugouts empty and it makes the news, do people become disgusted and walk away from baseball?  (I don't know the answer to these, I don't follow sports and not much MMA...anecdotally I would guess fights don't ruin other sports)

I know this position isn't the high road or very popular, but I can't be the only one thinking this.
