I care and I'm glad his camp does too. I LOVE MMA and this sport we all loosly call "fighting", but I hate actual fighting. Seeing a couple of dudes pissed off and beating the hell out of each other in a bar or parking lot is terrible. What we call "fighting" is Mixed Martial Arts. It is woven and inseperable from respect for others. These "fights" that we love aren't fights at all. They are competitions. I'd like them to stay that way. Yes, rage is part of all of us, but I'd like it to be out of the cage and dissociated from a professional adult in control of him/herself.

Yes, we've all done stupid shit in the past, but it didn't go unnoticed or uncorrected for us, and it shouldn't for Aoki either. Thank goodness we are straightened out when we F*** up, or where would we all be?

Point in case, the adrenaline in MMA fights is crazy high compared to Martial Arts tournaments. Heck, even whilst just training (MMA, Boxing, Wrestling), the blood flow rises really fricking quick. Now, I'm not saying that I justify Aoki's antic's, I'm just saying maybe you're watching the wrong sport.

It's easy for us to sit here and judge people such as fighters, but try being in their shoes and have to read half the shite you lot type about them. Which have nothing to do with Aoki, but I'm just saying, it's a whole differen't world there compared to here.

When training in any fight sport the adrenaline rushes. It has nothing to do with MMA specifically.

You can suggest all you want. I don't see how your assessment has anything to do with whether or not I'm watching the right sport

I pay to watch guys fight and exhibit mixed martial arts. I don't pay to watch guys act like idiots.

This is a sport with a lot of guys trying to make it a humble and respectful sport. Not a sport like boxing. Most fighters are against that type of crap.

So no, I don't need to find another sport.



And I'm sorry, but "a lot" of fighters do not do the crap that Lesnar and the Diaz brothers do. That is a completely false claim. It is a handful of fighters.

It helped make Brock more well known in America (or at least helped sell more tickets for his next fight), and Aoki said he was planning on fighting in America. Maybe this was all for the American fans.

Maybe slamming Bud Light is next.

Like in any sport some people where their emotions on their sleeves. It happens in football (Haynesworth...amazing but temper issues) and hockey and boxing and every other physical sport. Doesn't mean they get away with it, doesn't mean I have to hate them, doesn't mean anything except they are emotional people that have problems controlling themselves.

Could have been worse, I'm just glad we didn't have to watch Aoki cry again and make some gay 10 min long speech.
