We know why,we just dont give a fuck.I don’t know why the concept of prize fighting is so hard for people to grasp.
I love watching Khabib fight. I also enjoy watching wrestling, Judo, and other grappling sports because I’m a lifelong grappler.
You know what though, I realize I’m a minority and most people find it boring.
Prize fighting has never been treated like any other sport and never will.
If we look at our ancestors it was the same.
The most exciting gladiators got in the big arena to entertain the crowd.
I’m sure that carries over to every small civilization since the beginning.
Were there better fighters that never made it to the “big arena” because they fought a more tactical, less fan friendly style?
of course !
Were there fighters that were less skilled but fought a wide open style that excited the fans and they got rushed right to the big stage?
Of course as well!
Nothing’s changed or ever will.
Ask around your work today to the “normal” people who aren’t into MMA or martial artists.
Ask if they know who Tony Ferguson is and then ask who Connor Mcgregor is.
There is your answer to why he’s being pushed back into a title fight.
