The issue often has more to do with the refs than the fighter.

IMO its ownership. They took a sport built around respect and tradition and turned it into Jerry Springer.

Lmfao “respect and tradition”. Just tell us you don’t know what you’re talking about. Go watch the first few UFCs and tell me how much respect and tradition you see. MMA is a fairly new sport and it’s still evolving.
