I think UFC fans get to invested in the fights sometime.

[ReasonableMMAFan]

I just had an epiphany a couple hours ago. It was that I was getting to invested into something that doesn't really affect my life in any sort of meaningful way and thay I should stop to spare myself the grief.
I mean, watching mma is fun. But it's sort of pointless. It's entertainment, yeah, but it's just fighting.
Fighting/Fights have no relevance to me or my life, and don't really matter in the grand scheme of things.
I mean, why do losses and wins even matter? Is a fighters life suddenly ruined because they didn't win a fight? Anyways, excusing the rant, I just feel it's really silly to get mad, sad or super happy because some half naked guy won/lost a fight.

Your taking MMA/UFC to another place entirely. Its fighting people not philosophiying.

 

[TIMELESS TRUTH]

Get ready, puberty is fun!!!

Wait, we get to invest in the UFC?

 

[ReasonableMMAFan]

I've already gone through puberty, so maybe I'm just tired.

Nothing you do in life matters.

 

[Breaking]

You are right.

But this is more of a private issue that should be worked out in your journal or something.

Many of us--if not most of us--have already come to this realization.

But it's nice of you to have shared.

Also, it's "too invested" not "to invested."

Yeah, I understand it's entertainment. I love it. It's fun to watch and bet on. I just don't understand how people can have such emotional investment in it that they can debate for hours upon hours about things like GOAT, why x fighter sucks, and other shit like that.

You are pretty much calling out every diehard fan that lives vicariously through a fighter or sports team. And there are many in this world.

 

[Gabe]

It's like that in most sports.

 

[BAZ Rutten]

That's the whole point.

Lots of fighters make an effort of showing fans what they are like away from fight.

Is like watching sport and not supporting a team.

You're not being very reasonable here, ReasonableMMAFan.

Yeah, man. I think I need to just immerse myself in the crazy world of mma again, just not take it so seriously.

Only 3 fighters that really get me are Mousasi Fedor and cro cop

 

[Bokelj]

Ask Rousey if her loss affected her life.

 

[Fahcough]

Being super invested would involved reading MMA forums.
Screw those losers and their POG collection. Found my best slammer the other day.
