Fights are an unfortunate occurrence at sporting events, and mixed martial arts is no exception. UFC president Dana White has long noted that fighting is in our DNA, and offers a hypothetical.
“The example I like to use is that if you’re in an intersection and there’s a basketball game on one corner, a soccer game on another, a baseball game on the third, and a fight on the fourth, everyone will go watch the fight,” explains White. “And that’s not only true, but it’s something that cuts across all demographic and geographic barriers.
The crazy thing is, people even stop to watch a fight, at the fights.
UFC 205 was the greatest card in MMA history, and justice was served on one drunken trouble maker, during the main event walkout. Barely able to stand, he tried to throw down with a row of aged Irish fans.
Unconstrained by the Unified Rules, one geriatric combatant was liberally dropping illegal 12-6 elbows on the miscreant, as another threw several unsteady straight rights. In short, a lit man got lit up a little bit.
Meanwhile, a calm, very nearly bored security guard was trying to drag trouble out of the trouble he was in. The nearly comatose subject of all the excitement was dragged backwards up the stairs, and as the walkout music hit a crescendo, his limp hand offered a floppy thumbs up.
In a final moment of justice, ding dong was removed from the arena right before the main event, and never got to hear the final bell.
These things happen in mixed martial arts.
