We are all one. Fuck national anthems at sporting events.

 

[ultimateriley-o]

Yeah just what we need, even longer UFC shows

 

[Bogeyman]

Chad Mendez had a singer do it live once. Funny kind of song.

 

[HelloJapan]

No thanks.

 

[sissypunch]

i could support the anthem at UFC events, but only if Roseanne Barr sings it.

The National Anthem has no business being played before a sporting event.
The only time it should be played is the award ceremonies at the Olympics, where an athlete is representing a country.

"Live your life with integrity, without hate, greed or envy."

No and they would have to play it for each country being represented. That would take another hour

 

[Krayd]

They should do it before every fight. Each fighter too.

Doesn't seem appropriate when this isn't a national organization, as it includes fighters from all over. If you play the American anthem, you may as well play the brazilian anthem aswell.

That was the guy from Staind doing some silly country song, wasn't an anthem.

 

[Crimson Glory]

I'm glad they don't.

It's better to just have guys come out to a personal favorite and not make it a focal point of the night.

Hearing the same old anthem over and over is a grind on the mind.

 

[boxingskills]

They do this trash at boxing.

 

[Son of Sonnen]

For some reason I thought they did when I went live. Before the first fight when like there was 2-3 hundred of us in the arena.

I have to be honest, it really just annoys the hell out of me. My thought always ends up being ''lets just get through this and get to the game already.'' Usually whoever sings it tries to put their own flavor into it and butchers it anyways.

So yea, good job UFC. Im glad they dont do it.

 

[BRASIL WAND]

They should do it for Main Events imo.
