I’m not one to defend the UFC, I think Dana White is a piece of shit. But as someone who used to be into it, this just seems like a complete misunderstanding of MMA.
Also, women do it too fyi. So not sure why you think this only reflects on men.
Boxing has existed for literally thousands of years. Wrestling and Pankration even longer I believe. The latter was an event in the first Olympics, and it’s very similar to modern MMA.
This particular event was a travesty, but not because of mixed martial arts. You’re angry at the wrong people.

Appealing to history isn’t as strong as you might think, when we are talking about whether or not society should promote a social activity.
