Yes sport is cruel and combat sports especially, yes they are well looked after financially, yes they are game and yes such fights 'move the needle'. But really matches like that are more like sending empty handed people to be eaten by lions in the arena, than a sporting contest. I and many others were saying beforehand that this was a pointless fight and exactly how it was going to end. I just don't think some of these late BJ Penn / Anderson Silva / Frank Mir / Bigfoot etc. fights should ever take place. I don't think it serves MMA. If they want to keep fighting they should be getting put against other legends their age, or young inexperienced up and comers who aren't going to knock them silly and will benefit from the exposure etc.
