We need more fights like Diego vs the Sherminator

[MMAProfessional]

I made a joke about this fight before but after seeing the interview with them on the MMA hour this really is a beautiful thing. I've worked with mentally challenged people and their innocence and kindness is what makes them truly special. Seeing the love he had for Diego even knowing him for a short time was heart warming. I'd like to see MMA give mentally challenged people get more "fights" and empower them. They wouldn't be long and it would be a way for them to not only make some money but also bring them happiness for their dreams. For some it might seem gimmick but for them it is obviously real for them.

My question is seeing as how you work with disabled people why did you originally make a joke about this fight and why did it take until you heard the interview to feel this way?

Why not have two Downs people actually fight each other? It doesn't take much for a fight like this to go wrong, was great to see Diego doing this but if it was happening regularly it only takes one punch misplaced to really hit the guy and the fighter looks terrible....

I think Shields did something like this a few years ago

Most Bellator cards are like that.
