    other the barbaric nonsense, I have no input. this applies to all sports when watching them as ‘entertainment’

    participating in sports is a different thing altogether.

        watching sports and cheering for ‘sides’ is barbaric and not worth the time. the countless riots over winning, or losing also backs up my claims

          Oh I see, I disagree heavily but definitely understand why you feel that way and respect it. MMA has never caused a riot. In regards to sides, its not like that in MMA. Individual people get rooted for. By example, I loved to cheer for Dustin Porier because he has a great personality, does a fuck load of charity and was always in great fights. On the other hand I like cheering against guys like Jon Jones because hes a genuinely bad person, seeing him get beat down is great, unfortunately that happens rarely.
