I must give praise to one aspect of WMMA that I noticed

Generally speaking, there’s no buddy buddy hugging or touching gloves throughout their fights. Both fighters are not afraid to show that they want to win.

In modern MMA for me personally I think dudes have become too friendly and it takes the sting out of fights. I’m fine with veterans like Aldo doing it. But for most other fighters it becomes this like handshake and unsaid agreement that “we’re going to spar for the first 3 minutes of this round” it’s not exciting.

If two fighters go to war and then they reluctantly touch up at the beginning of the 5th, I’m okay with that. Not mid round though after stuffing a takedown like Garry does. I mean sure you could say that’s a bit of gamesmanship, but that’s another debate. I am also reminded of Yair Rodriguez constantly stopping surging Zombie by putting his hands up for the crowd then touching gloves.. yuck.

I just though it was interesting how the women seem to fight with more intensity like that, even though it doesn’t often show in the performances.

(To be honest i completely disagree with this take. Women always hug after, always sportswomanship. The dudes will fight a shit spar fight and then act salty... Looking at bLullz whatever his name is)

Aldo's friendly demeanor made his fight better.
 
Even in street fights girls always seemed a little more ruthless, kicking, scratching, biting, pulling hair... vicious womenz
 
Julianna Pena and Kayla Harrison won't be touching gloves or buddy hugging, that's for sure!
 
even despite that, the fight blowed.

if we're talking about men embracing each other during the fight, agreed, takes everything out of it and wastes time. i think there's only one scenario where that is even OK and it's only at the start of the fifth round, if both fighters were absolute mean motherfuckers and it has been a back and forth battle the whole duration. that is the only time it is remotely acceptable to embrace like bros in the cage, during a fight. otherwise do that shit afterwards.
 
They can hate each other all they want, doesn't make a difference. They still punch like they're underwater and the fights feel like they have 0 impact.
 
Gonna assume it’s boobs and butts


That’s the first thing I notice anyway, although I can see how the Fighters wouldn’t come off as overtly sexual when the ring girls are walking around the outside of the octagon between rounds.

Now THATS what you call boobs and butts.
 
Because female fighters probably work 2x harder than the dudes since they have to make interesting fights. friendliness has no time in that mindset,

UFC ring girls are wearing winter jackets in comparison to some girls from other promotions. And they have nowhere near the asses these other sluts from other small leagues have. Can't quite name any but any time I turn on some random event I'm like damn.
