I can't do a poll (since I don't now how) but is this the lowest level we've seen fighters sink to in order to get paid?
It used to be that they showed up to fight and stayed away from personal stuff since they're all fighters and many of them have pretty checkered pasts and nobody cares about that when they step in the octagon. Now we have fighters like Snitchington PROMOTING that they "have dirt" on their opponent like that has ANYTHING to do with fighting!

I'm gobsmacked and I hope you are too!
What sport works like this? Where the athletes "dig up dirt" on their opponent instead of facing off or in advance of facing off against them? Is this acceptable?
Should we be slapping Snitchby Snitchington over social media and reminding him to get his head out of his ass and back into the fight or should we, by our silence, allow this new dynamic in MMA where fighters "dig up dirt" on each other in prep for their match ups?
I think it's utterly distasteful and distracts from the value of the sport. And it's low and speaks of a lack of values or measure and perhaps mental balance. I'm not just bashing Snitchington, I'm legit calling his low tactics out as low sporting behaviour. This isn't personal.
And it's wack af too. This guy is trying to make snitching cool? And you "Make America Great" types with your Russia Red Putin hats are supporting this sink to the lowest level? Can we all agree we don't want this in the sport? If reporters dig up dirt, fine. But don't we want our fighters fighting and NOT "destroying" each others' lives???
