There are two components to UFC: the violence and the skill. You don't sound like you're comfortable with the level of violence displayed (completely understandable). As others have pointed out, the combatants are willing participants and not victims, so I don't share the same issue.
What I get out of UFC matches (when I watch, I actually stopped because it was hard to find good matches) is the tactical chess-like maneuvering these guys go through in order to defeat an opponent that effectively knows everything they know. There's a level of calculating brilliance at play for the good fighters that I get a lot out of.
- partisan 10y agoI totally get it and I think you are right in your analysis. What hooked me was the tactics of the sport. I enjoy watching someone at the top of their game, but I can't take the violence. As a result, I'm hooked on cooking competition shows.
- beachstartup 10y agoif you like the mental side of it but dislike the striking violence you should check out the brazilian jiu jitsu scene. there's a lot of overlap with none of the blood.
