What irks you?
The homosexual stuff? Plenty of strait dudes have outright discussed how awkward and unpleasant it felt to begin taking grappling training, especially to lay on their back and have another man between their legs on top of them, face-to-face at about 5 inches, right in your personal space.
It'll always have ghey connotaions, get over it.
If a man's secure in his masculinity, it shouldn't bother ya.
Much of McCoy's perceived "trolling" isn't trolling at all anyway because it's the truth.
I'm an MMA fan too, right since UFC 1, and I could see the progression of the sport and the fighter-athletes in it right from the start, but it still doesn't change the point that McCoy makes that we are still seeing lower-tier fighter-athletes in MMA.
If you don't offer the financial incentives, then the Best fighters simply won't be there; they'll be competing with other world-class elite fighter-athletes where the 12 million dollar paydays are.
There's nothing preventing elite world-class boxers from learning how to grapple effectively or at least learn submission defense and how to sprawl, but why bother for 40 K paydays up to maybe 300 thousand paydays under the thumb of the UFC. These 1-sided UFC contracts; it's like they own the fighter. UFC says "Jump", fighters say "How high?"
I believe most elite boxers could be UFC champions within 2 years.
I believe the difference in quality and depth of fighter-athlete currently between the 2 sports is a chasm so wide that an elite prime boxer would be a dominant champion in UFC and find easy pickings compared to the deep talent pool of boxing where you can't tap to strikes like GSP and BJ Penn did.
Where a UFC main event man in the "Biggest Fight in UFC history" gasses in 4 minutes flat and his opponent's idea of standup defense is to basically panic and run, then curl up in the fetal position and lay there getting pounded on until the other guy gassed form hittiing him.
You're not seeing world-class fighter-athletes in UFC, and McCoy lets you know that you're not...and people get mad about it.
I would prefer to pay to see elite world-class fighter-athletes in MMA, not lower-tier fighter-athletes as it currently is in UFC which is basically run like a circus.
If the top money not offered, then the top talent simply won't be there.
I'm a fan of the sport, but it is in fact run like a circus.
Boxing's f*<ked too, and Sulaiman and his WBC is a sad, damaging joke, and almost all the top boxers with their huge paydays eventually go broke, but at least you're seeing legitimate world-class fighter-athletes in there, not UFC proaganda telling you that you're seing something that you're really not.
