Things in MMA that have/will age poorly

[SharpasaRazor]

YouTube decided to toss the ufc 194 weigh in video into my feed and I had like almost forgotten we used to put these guys on stage dehydrated out there minds and get them to square off:



What other things have or will in future age very poorly in MMA?

Right now I’d say:

- No drug testing era
- The rocks shoes
- Prime
- Fighter Pay
- Dana White

 

[RageQuitLord]

Honestly I am ashamed to even admit to people how much I love MMA which is a damn shame because it's an incredible sport.

 

[PlasticFishBowl]

Conor’s liver.

 

[Buff]

Interim Titles
USADA
NSAC
Not having a point system

They'll probably shame us out of ring girls in the next 15 years too.

Obviously Slap Fighting is going to create a body/retard or two...

 

[Yep]

Dana White if he ever gets off all the designer gear

 

[RiseAboveHat]

Aged poorly about 2 minutes after the fact, and only gets worse as the days go by

 

[C0NCH3TO]

Cocaine bear.

By USADA do you mean having testing or their shameful capitulation to the UFC in covering up obvious breaches?

Point system is an interesting one - hadn't personally thought of that.

Dana sh:tting on fighters for demanding reasonable pay / benefits. All of his "the guy doesn't want to fight" nonsense is going to come back to bite him in his goofy buttocks.

I just say I'm a kickboxing fan. Way less embarrassing

Some of the fighter beefs. The pop up announcements for movies taking up 1/8 of the screen during a fight.

 

[Clark Rogers]

Given brain trauma, sadly most all the fighters will prob qualify.

 

[Krixes]

Chuck Liddell's chin
Conor's trash talk
Trading away DJ

 

[NoSmilez]

They will probably spin a life story of Nate Diaz in the future. He will be super popular and flipping people off in his 60s

First things first, you're coming at the king of combat sports - MMA - and throwing around some serious accusations. I gotta say, I'm not feeling it.

Let's talk about these supposed things that will age poorly. You say the no drug testing era will age poorly? Well, I say that's just a load of hogwash! Ain't nothin' wrong with a little extra horsepower under the hood, am I right?

And what's with all the hate on The Rock's shoes? Those kicks are iconic, man! I'll admit, they might not be for everyone, but you gotta give credit where credit is due.

As for fighter pay, well, that's just capitalism at work, baby! You gotta earn your keep in this world. And let's not forget about Dana White - the man's a legend! He's done more for MMA than anyone else out there.

So, to answer your question - I don't think there's anything that will age poorly in MMA. Sure, we might look back and laugh at some of the fashion choices or rule changes, but at the end of the day, MMA is timeless. It's a sport that will continue to evolve and captivate audiences for generations to come. And if you don't like it, you can just step into the octagon with me and we'll settle this like real men!

No drug testing era

Considering this forum's rabid hatred of PEDs, I'm surprised no one is calling for all those fights to be nullified

What an amazingly hilarious yet F'd up and accurate statement!
Made me Laugh.
Glad that I work from home.

Re USADA, probably every aspect that you mentioned.

Re Point System:
Sorry if you've read this from my account already; but all 10-9s aren't (and shouldn't be scored) equally.

Also, 2 swing round 10-9s rounds on one side that are razor thin shouldn't negate a solid 10-8 3rd round leading to a draw in a 3 round fight.
