A place to discuss MMA for all 3 of its fans who identify as left-of-center.

Rules:

  1. No conservative bullshit.
  2. Posts must relate to MMA.
  3. All orgs okay: UFC, LFA, etc.

Why does the UFC seem to lean right? (www.youtube.com)

This is a video I made, mostly to goof around with the topic and troll conservatives a bit for fun, but also to try to answer the question in earnest.

Ultimately, it is a standout that a "sports league" as large as the UFC has such a conservative fanbase. The traditional reasons for this, as told by right-wing identifying folk, is because of testosterone and masculinity and so on.

But it's more nuanced than that. Saying "MMA RIGHT WING BECAUSE BLOOD" is only a tiny part of the picture. This video helped me identify a bit more about the topic and hopefully is a fun watch for other leftist/left-leaning MMA fans.

You should see my comment section, it's HILARIOUS. The most stereotypical chuds for as far as the eye can see. I have great fun stumping them.
