UFC Fight Night

in #life7 years ago

After a good day’s work of renovations at The Foundry, it is time for a UFC night with the guys.

My brother has been practicing Brazilian Jui-Jitsu for several years now and is the reason I became interested in the UFC.

For those who don’t know know, UFC stands for Ultimate Fighting Championship - it is mixed martial arts.

There is an incredible amount of skill and work that goes into the craft of mixed martial arts.

My brother actually had his first fight a month ago, and he’s been training for 5-6 years.

Every fighter has his niche, but you must be able to defend against the other disciplines. That is what makes UFC so fascinating to watch - you never know what is going to happen.

I will say, it is intriguing to see the similarities between our culture and the Romans.

We are not killing individuals in an arena for sport, but we are entertained by men and women fighting one another in a stadium.

I pray we don’t degrade morally to the point that we have modern day gladiators, but we certainly need to turn some things around.

In the meantime, I’ll enjoy the testosterone rush of the UFC and keep my eyes peeled on the culture developing around me.

Used to love to get together with others and watch UFC fights! Even went to a weigh in in Dallas with our newborn dressed in a UFC (made by me) onesie. :) Lol! Haven't seen a fight in years though. Good fun.

A UFC onesie, I love it! Lol. Your newborn must have been the talk of the crowd. UFC with friends is great fun. :)

Here's my proof - I had to dig up the pics! :) He was probably almost 1 at the time.

Lol! Doesn't he look like he's having a delightful time? ;)

I understand what you are saying. Sometimes when I hear of the bloodsports that attract so many I wonder if we are becoming more like barbarians and less human. Great point you make! 🐓🐓

It is something to keep our eye on and speak truthfully about.

UFC seems to be way better than watching over Wrestling in the name of entertainment ;)

Haha, it is much more enjoyable. ;)

punch that ;)

Haha, you got it. ;)

I prefer my fights in hockey games or not at all. But I've never yet tuned into a fight and seen a hockey game break out...yeah, something wrong there. Tell your brother to save his teeth :)

Lol, turning a classic joke on its head - good one, John. I’ll let him know.

I also enjoy the skills used in martial arts

Hello & Cheers!! I'm a content detection and information bot. You are receiving this reply because a short link or links have been detected in your post/comment. The purpose of this message is to inform your readers and yourself about the use of and dangers of short links.

To the readers of the post: Short links are provided by url shortening services. The short links they provide can be useful in some cases. Generally their use is benign. But as with all useful tools there are dangers. Short links can be used to hide all sorts of things. Quite frequently they are used to hide referral links for instance. While not dangerous this can be deceptive. They can also be used to hide dangerous links such as links to phishing sites, sites loaded with malware, scam sites, etc. You should always be extremely cautious before clicking on one. If you don't know and trust the poster don't click. Even if you do you should still be cautious and wary of any site you are sent to. It's always better to visit the site directly and not through a short link.

To the author of the post: While short links may be useful on some sites they are not needed on steemit. You can use markdown to format your links such as this link to steemit. It's as simple as [steemit](https://steemit.com) Unlike short links this allows the reader to see where they are going by simply hovering over the link before they click on it.

This message was created by a bot. It is part of the ongoing fight against spam and phishing attacks on steemit. If you did not use short links in your post and feel you have received this message in error you can contact @fubar-bdhr on discord or @fubar.bdhr on steemit chat to report the issue.
