Honestly MMA events are usually pretty chill when it comes to actual violence I believe its because the percentage of people who can actually fight in the audience is way higher than at regular sports.
The dudebro assholes can never be 100% sure if that skinny dude is there because he likes to watch fights or because he trains with one of the competitors.
I’ve seen lots of people say how bad the fans are but I’m not sure why. Other sports have riots and hooliganism. I personally have never experienced an MMA fan engage in negative group behavior like that.
I do enjoy MMA, not actively watching or anything, but it’s one of the only sports that if it’s passing on the TV somewhere I actively pay attention and have watched some matches (I find especially interesting the first UFC championships when it still was Karate vs Sumo type of thing). I’ve also trained martial arts for a good chunk of my life, so I watch those matches for the technical side of the fight. All of that being said, I have to agree with him, a good chunk of people I know who actively watch MMA are douches, there are a few exceptions, one of my best friends watches every fight, and he’s only a douche to people who deserve it, but most of the people who watch the fights with him are very douchy.
The fighters are great athletes and it can be fun to watch.
But the fans are total knobs. I’d never go to a live event nor pay the insane prices for PPV
