I don't know whether people here will relate to what I have to say. Some of you would for sure come up with sarcastic comments, as you often do, but this is for you guys who are disappointed like me.
So.
For me, for the past 3.5 years since I started watching UFC events on television, I knew that the whole concept of it was half-sport half-entertainment. I was happy with the sports part, as these athletes, in my opinion are some of the most impressive athletes on earth. With the "other side" - The pure entertainment side, I was less impressed. Not because I hate being entertained, It's just that people like Dana White piss me off.
With this tour, I feel as though a border was crossed. What happened over the past week was that the UFC publicly announced it being a pure entertainment organization. Yes, contractors it hires fight in the octagon. But somehow, this whole media-world-circus-tour made it seem like fighting is only a side show. Right now, It's all about who steals whose belt..
I am bummed out, as a fan. YES - Will still watch the fight. Would've watched it even without that whole 10 cities 12 days crap. But this festival around McGregor's behavior and Aldo's responses.. Too much for me, and I am sure for other people too. Stopped watching at episode 5... BS-Overload.
Anyone feels the same? frustration is better when shared
