Sigh, he doesn't get it. I'm not condemning anyone.
Now back to women's MMA. I've said a few times now and I'll say it again, I dislike Rousey's
public persona, the face she presents of sleeping around and swearing, being disrespectful etc, now I do understand that it's a side of her that the UFC can sell a la WWE, it may well not be the 'real' her, it maybe something she puts on in public but that doesn't mean to say I have to like that. if anything she encourages and has said so in the past that so called hatred against her because she says she fights better but I still don't have to like it. perhaps she's sweet and kind to those she knows but I'm never going to see that so have only the public side and that I don't like. I wouldn't want a girl to take her as a role model
based on the behaviour that is seen in public. My opinion only, based on what I've seen, read and heard. Perhaps it's wrong but that is what it's based on and if your opinion is different good for you, how boring it would be if all opinions were the same. Most people don't take other people's opinions so personally though, it's a bit worrying when people start insulting others because they don't share the same opinion, smacks of communism lol.
I've said nothing about her nationality nor her fighting abilities, and no one else is picked up for disliking a fighter which is interesting.
What has that got to do with the English...absolutely nothing. I do realise that people say 'English;' mistakenly believing that everyone in the UK is English but a little education would go a long way, not only are they not all English they aren't in the UK, Ellan Vannin (the Isle of Man) and the Channel Islands for example aren't in the UK but are self ruling Crown Dependencies. Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales have their own countries and their own governments.
As for the UFC, I can take it or leave it, mostly leaving it. Why? because it doesn't figure in my life, it's no different than FIFA or UEFA or the Olympic committees, nought to do with me. There has been a knock on effect for those poor despised British shows though in that people come to watch 'UFC' fights on them so in effect the laugh isn't on us. MMA is still relatively unknown in the UK when you compare it to football, rugby and boxing, I daresay it always be like that. The Brits love their footie however something we are seeing more of here is properly organised and run bare knuckle boxing fight nights, hard to say if it's a fad or whether there is a real appetite for them. We'll have to see.
MMA for me has been fun, the fight nights have been fun, meeting people, having a laugh and training however since January I haven't been able to have much to do with it or any martial arts, it's unlikely I will be able to in the future but it's upwards and onwards whatever and a few silly comments made by people on here looking to flex their pyschobabble muscles as well as their poor humour ones, is water off a duck's back frankly, however in trying ( and not succeeding, sorry) to upset me please try not to insult entire nations of people, we may be insignificant in your eyes but the mark of a person is how they treat people who are smaller than them.
PS in case people were wondering Conor McGregor is from the Republic of Ireland ( Eire) he's not British.
Have a nice day people..
