Helwani has lost the plot: believes MMA is not 'violent'

[Hoof Hearted]

He's just trying to get attention by saying something controversial...and succeeding.

To be fair to ariel Helwani, how would he know? He doesn't even understand MMA.

If you describe violence as the emotional or malicious hurting of someone, then I would not call it violent. Of course it's occasionally violent, when fighters want to hurt other fighters out of hatred.

Well the definition is:

behaviour involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something.

Sounds like he fought GSP's aliens.

Incredible. Helwani actually argues that MMA is not a sport based on violence. He has said the same before. See the video below for his latest delusion. Luke Thomas clearly thinks Helwani is a moron:



Helwani once argued that he hates the NFL because it is violent, whileMMA is not.

This Einstein is the most prominent non-fighter and non-promoter public figure in MMA.

I dont get it. He is supposedly married but acts feminine and like a closet homosexual. He should cover ballet
