UFC has too many eye pokes and when people like Masvidal appear to cover themselves in grease? Bisping moaning about TRT Belfort when somehow? He used to fight at 205? People putting their hands on the floor so you can't kick/knee them and a rule set designed to make college wrestlers do well Nothing like a real fight. 190 or so rules. Which is fine. But why sell it UFC as a fight when you can't even push. Also suspect title wins and changes. And past history of MMA is riddled with fixed fights and unfair matchups. I like proper boxing and Whittaker turning his back and hitting with the non knuckle part of the glove. That isn't boxing Also he got found out on a DAZN show against a decent journeyman. So really it's a show rather than sustance
