Why do UFC fighters act like this is a sport?

[RafaelDosSantos]

Where you just show up and give it your best.. this is NOT a sport. It's ENTERTAINMENT.

These shovel personalities have the AUDACITY to complain about not being promoted / fighter pay.

Unfortunately, being a nice guy won't sell PPVs. This isn't rocket science.

It's not a sport.

It's war.

I wish they pushed Twitter beef style promotion less, but yes, single athlete sports of every type are made by cross over stars. Always has been, boys

Marvelous post

Exactly, this is not a sport, this is survival of the fittest. Two men enter a cage in front of thousands of people, and try to knock/choke each other unconscious for money, and to entertain people.

You're what's wrong with MMA. It is a sport, but has unfortunately been hijacked by the instagram generation that judge personality over actual accomplishments. These guys do battle like gladiators for our bloodlust, but idiots now appreciate "quick" wit over substance.

They have to to sell it to the public

Nobody wants to admit that their personality or fight style is boring as sh*t.

It's the promoter's fault.
