but personally i'm leaning to the latter..
i think people who have violent tendencies don't need inspiration form seeing it on tv.
it's part of their personality already, like alcohol doesn't make people violent,
just makes them less concerned about the consequences, when they are under the influence.

as a kid - friends + i would practise wrestling moves on eachother bodyslams..
sleeper holds - when hulk hogan + andre the giant + co were all the vogue.
i'm pretty sure at that point i hadn't clicked it was fake...was a kid, but still not silly
enough to actually hurt eachother. + it didn't make me want to bodyslam kids in the st.



 
 
You are an intelligent person EI, you are not the norm.
I do like your  point about peoples predisposition to violence and alcohol reference. It's all I have ever been saying with Oneone, but I get shouted down. Hopefully, with someone he respects, like yourself, he will understand my point more.

Holly Holm is a mean son of a gun. When Rousey was unconscious she was celebrating, hugging, jumping up and down, showed no concern for Rousey's well being.

Most others and boxers normally do not act in this selfish and self obsessed mannner, not nice

Probably caught up in the moment Whale. The clip I saw which went on further, when she realised Rhonda was not well she came around to the other side of her away from those attending and crouched down for about 30 sec watching her lying there

Not quite sure what would inspire an attractive, healthy young woman to channel her energies into knocking the s##t out of other young women, or have the s##t knocked out of her ?
Mind you, I didnt mind a bit of a biffo when i was her age.  Even got thrown in the cells once , for decking another sheila twice my size .Embarrassed

You might be onto something tlaz. Haven't recalled any deaths in the ufc, but there's been alot in racing. Although going home with a every day surely would take it out of ya. My mates almost consistently got a black eye. And thats just from training.

Taken that 1 punch can kill out of context max. We're talking about trained profesionals who dont have gutters in the ring to smack their head on. They're not paired up against someone half they're size. They have different weight classes to stop that. They're not drunk so the bloods been thinned out so more damage can be done

Danny green done that add and didn't stop boxing. Because its to the drunks out on the streets looking for the fights.

I anticipated a reply like that. The problem is some people, not over-endowed with brains, are more suggestible, and will ape what they see. It appears to them, to validate it as acceptable. I see a major conflict between campaigns to lessen the consequences of street violence, and UFC style organized mayhem.

Most of that street violence can come back onto the type of house the person was raised in, school they went to. The discipline they recieved when growing up. And yes i do see it the apes following the flock. Recently someone we know got bashed by a group of teenagers with golf clubs out the front of 1 of the teens house. And all he wanted to do was confront the parents abbout the rude txts that the kid was sending to his daughter. The kid sending the txt met him at the door while his mates jumped from behind the bush and done the number. The parents inside watching and not doin crap. Needless to say those teenagers tasted they're first blood and will prob want to do it again because they never got disciplined. Got away scot free. The cops haven't done nothing because they're underage.

But thats because the parents didn't discipline the kids. Thr best thing parents can do is put their kids into martial arts from a young age for self defence, and for the discipline you learn.

Dont know if thats for you max. Sorta went off on a bit of a rant

The older you get, the more you realise there is no such thing as social progress, it can unravel pretty quickly. There are far more "feral" types around today than at any time in my lifetime.

In boxing, you get punched and knocked down, then you cant keep hitting the opponent. In UFC, you keep going, and you keep hitting them when they are on the ground. That is the difference between the 2 and a disgraceful one.

 without doubt...it is a disgraceful "sport"....in reality it is street assault, ad nauseam...I just shake my head in disbelief hat this is allowed on TV where kids can see people kicking others in the head, after they are on the ground...
 
 no wonder we have a violent society..

the person on the ground is allowed to protect themselves too..
+ if they are unable the ref stops the fight.

which footage jujuno, i haven't seen any of the fight..?
maybe the person on the ground was trying to get up..
i think if you have a foot planted on the ground that's considered not grounded..
if that makes sense.

There used to be virtually no rules at all. No biting or eye gouging was pretty much it. Groin strikes were allowed.
