I find UFC a bit crass and I've definitely lost interest in it over the years.

I prefer ONE which feels a bit more pure. I like how they promote mutual respect between contestants and some of the highlight reels celebrate restraint (look up Xiong maybe).

Combine that with their same approach to cutting weight and I think they're a much classier promotion.

Sometimes UFC and boxing feels like soaps for male dominated fangroups. But boxing is just so beautiful sometimes

That’s the McGregor effect. Both the fighters and the org realized that they get a lot more sponsorships and audience with the WWE drama. Most fighters have a short and injury prone career so I don’t blame them for trying to make some money. There are still plenty of fighters who don’t take part in the nonsense
