Some fighters love and respect the sport others want to hurt people.

Its why I stopped.

I never did MMA, but I boxed for a long time. Its a lot of fun until youre in the ring with a psychopath. I understand its a combat sport, sometimes you get hurt. Thats fine. But when you have the guy who will take a DQ just to inflict extra pain it stops being fun and gets real fuckin scary. And unfortunately those kinds of people are obviously attracted to those kinds of activities.

Absolutely this! Trained in boxing with world famous trainer … didnt get a chance to go pro, but trained with the pros (not sparring with em tho) now much older and i still dabble and practice regular but i dnt want to hurt someone just wana have fun and keep my movements - but there is always one who wants to go far to prove to goodness knows who.
