Hey guys Kenny here, my project for my English Comp class at SMC is due soon and I decided to write about the UFC/MMA. I'm not finished yet so don't laught at me lol.
Here goes:
Me and my mom's friend, Terrell watch this thing called MMA/UFC where the best martial artists throughout the world fight for victory, glory and honor. It is like a modern day Gladiator movie. It is the only sport I watch because my mom's friend, he made me watch it with him. It is always exciting and entertaining, but these last couple of weeks of fights have been interesting and unusual.
Last week, a fighter named Shogun fought. He is an old fighter and my mom's friend is a huge fan of his. He got brutally knocked out, like a KO in boxing, by a young "up-and-coming" fighter. My mom's friend was so sad he was quiet and I felt like he was trying to hide his tears from me. He was unusually quiet and he seemed depressed.
In contrast, this week, a fighter named Jose Aldo fought. He is another old fighter but he brutally knocked out a young "up-and-coming" fighter. It was the complete opposite and this time my mom's friend couldn't hold in his excitement and he was being crazy showing all sorts of emotions and he cried a little bit and he didn't mind showing his emotion.
I started to think why he didn't mind showing me happy emotions, but he didn't want to show me sad emotions. Also I will explore why men get emotional when sports and fighting is involved. Like why I think it is acceptable for women to show emotions all the time like my mom but not men in general.
(Thats the first part, but also I think I'm going to put in some pictures)
(I couldn't find one of him crying, but this shows the brutality of that fight)
