Reason I'm saying this is because Curtis is openly a Harris supporter

Hi guys,

I’ve been on this sub for a while, and it’s part of what gave me hope in MMA fans again. It’s nice seeing normal people appreciate the sport for what it is.

I’m disheartened by the sheer number of really toxic MMA YouTubers. From an outside perspective, people see them and think that’s how the entire fanbase is.

That’s why I decided to launch my own channel. I’ll be talking about politics and combat sports. Both without spin and from a non-partisan point of view.

If this is something you’re interested in, check my channel out. My first video will be dropping next week. Thanks guys.

The most basic stance possible, and it’s still being debated in the replies.

The UFC just loves interviewing every winner of every fight in hopes of getting those choice soundbites from these knuckledraggers who can barely put two sentences together. Charles Jourdain dreams of posing with Pierre Poilievre and the UFC World Bantamweight title, for instance. Does anybody really want to hear what some guy or girl who has taken too many hits to head has to say? If you want to interview the main eventers and they support Trump and other fascists, fine. Nobody wants to hear a bottom feeder such as Jourdain talking politics.

I live in Ottawa and I can tell you that French Canadians are weirder than even Albertans. They truly think they're better than everybody else despite living in cities that scream 1978.

Been a fan since back when I had to rent VHS tapes to watch it. Quitting for the same reason I stopped watching the NFL when they decided to talk about Colin Kaepernick taking the knee every 5 seconds. F**k politics in sports. Now Dana and Rogan are running an Influence Operation to get the Orange Insurrectionist crook back in power. Dana parading that douche out like he's a UFC fighter at events. F'n pathetic. As long as that prick Dana White is at the helm, I am out. Fire that moronic bro-midget Rogan while they are at it. The only fight take I want to hear from him is when he is the one waking up from a roundhouse kick.

Mma, boxing and kickboxing have the worst repreputation. Everyone from the promoters, managers to the sponsors are shady ass people.

My theory is they are all a giant money laundering scheme. These guys funding them probably have money they've made from illicit means and businesses and need to hide earnings. A fighting event would be perfect for that. Fights are basically big one off events with international presence and jurisdictional flexibility (i.e. you can go to dubai vegas etc) and very cloudy and opaque revenue numbers and sources. You can easily fudge numbers here and there and because they are basically a one off event all trace of anything happening vanishes the day after the event without a trail. The UFC is nothing but a series of one off events it's ran 300 times now and people watch each time. Probably Fertitas wanted to wash their money and mainly bought the UFC for that. However the UFC growing as big as it did became a lucky positive unexpected outcome.

Thats my theory anyways. I don't know if anyone has other thoughts on why it's always the shadiest people in combat sports.

I think my top two right now are 2 Straws with Hill and Penne and Pound4Pound with Usman and Cejudo.

I know Jamal Hill isn’t popular right now with the MMA fan base but the guy has a really good post and pre-event youtube breakdowns that he does. His YT channels crazy underrated.

My other two occasional listens are Aljos pod and the Jaxxon podcast. Their episode quality’s always a hit or miss unfortunately

The video is from dead domain about silent Hill https://youtu.be/JMS0voMOj7w?feature=shared

I know some MMA fans HATE how linked MMA is to Pro wrestling (sorry but it's history is).

However pro wrestling has been discribed as "A redneck soap oprea" and attracts alot of the same type of people who go into MMA, as well as having alot of crossover with the MMA fan base (and right wingers sadly especially under The Mcmahons rule), Then AEW opened under Tony Khan who is alot more left wing and inclusive. Alot more wrestlers started showing their support for inclusivity. With how much bumlicking Dana (and Rogan) does of Trump and how much of a right wing dude bro he tends to be. If he left (and a lefty replaced him) how much would change. Do you think that some fighters are scared to speak for fear of repercussions?.

I know pro wrestling and MMA will never fully shake the right wing stereotype. But hopefully it wont amplify the bigots as much.
