Great and beautiful ideas have given joy to the human race, for example a new invention that saves lives, that gives comfort or that produces pleasure; There are also ideas that become events that make others sad, like seeing your grandmother or grandfather dancing slowly and very badly to a popular song in front of a camera that broadcasts live to the Internet where friends, family, and family are connected. and another hundred million people, while he is recording for millions of other Internet users all over the planet who will see the video at the end of the afternoon. On the contrary, there are human inventions that are disgusting and consequently nauseating, those that are so bad that if aliens really exist and seek a single reason to exterminate the human race, in the so-called mixed martial arts they will find a very good reason to eradicate us from the face of the earth.
Let's remember that this show is nothing more than a fight between two beings of the same race, the human race, who almost always know each other, and who have chosen an octagon-shaped ring to destroy each other for money and to the delight of who pay to see a spectacle of barbarity and blood. The first thing to analyze about this entertainment is the name that was chosen for it: mixed martial arts. First, they have nothing of art; Second, strictly speaking they have nothing of martial art, since they differ from pure and simple physical violence in that they organize techniques and tactics in a coherent system with a philosophy of life directed towards non-violence, exemplary conduct, to avoid useless confrontation, all with the aim of preserving health, disciplining the mind, forging the body and achieving a high degree of personal development. Of the third, mixed, they do have it all, since kicks, hangings, keys and strangulations together with manifestations of karate, jujitsu, judo, taekuondo, punches, blows and elbow blows are part of the feast of violence.
It is true that classical martial arts in principle had as its goal to control, direct and prosecute the warrior and libertarian impulses of populations subjugated by invading foreigners who dominated them with the support of all kinds of weapons, which they had to face, preparing them with intelligence and in secret to face them, meditating a lot, with a lot of philosophy, honor and deadly movements of his bare hands. On the contrary, mixed martial arts are a type of fight that is very similar to street fighting, it begins with boxing-style hands, goes to the ground where they wallow and hang themselves on their own blood and ends when a corduroy gets in so they don't kill the one who is almost knocked out, just like in drunken fights. It is true that these fighters develop tactics, techniques, they are very intelligent, they have rules, they train, do weights, they take care of themselves, but they still take out teeth and blood; And if there are rules, they are to prevent one from killing the other before the end of the first round or crippling him in the first fight and thus wasting years of training, hours of promotion, liters of energy drinks, or the show ending before the commercial.
Little drops of the business is what remains for the fighters, modern gladiators; the flow of money remains in the hands of promoters, managers, bettors, commercial brands and prostitutes; one in a hundred of those who believe that in this physical activity they can find the means to get out of the bottom does, most have their five minutes of fame and then it is likely that they will end their career, sooner or later, with a life-threatening injury. forced to sell gasoline at a service station, which is a very respectable job, but unfortunate for someone who has left behind that fate, teeth, blood, sweat, fractures and many, many disabling injuries that will exact a heavy price with pain during old age.
Laughter causes the bad attempt to call this physical activity a sport, rather it is a lack of respect; Sport is a mechanical action executed by the human body aimed at achieving goals and numerical marks, personal improvement, self-defeat, humility, to exalt with glory the place where you were born or that is represented or at least to simulate wars and prevent them from actually happening. Mixed martial arts is such a savage fight that if anyone took the time to organize a vote to choose a new sport, many people would cast their vote for snail fighting or bachacos rather than naming the bouts of the mixed martial arts. modern gladiators as a sport.
It happens that if there is a point of agreement, and it is that these fighters are called and call themselves modern gladiators; because surely it is that in the Middle Ages these fights would be clandestine and by law prohibited, in ancient Greece shows would never be seen and it is that not even in vampire moviesand werewolves you see so much violence; only during the most fiery period of the Rome of the circus and the stadium could so much blood be tolerated for fun. Also in the coliseum they would be acclaimed with as much fervor as they are today on television, where these modern gladiators are acclaimed, barbarians trained to fight and whose heads are filled with hopes so that they overflow with passion, strength, violence and hatred against their rival and destroy him, as many and as fast as they can and thus achieve fame, money, escape poverty, have the indiscriminate sex that so many yearn for and that all religious aspects reject. In the end these fights should not be prohibited, that would only deepen the sadistic interest in that show; To neutralize them, it will be enough to carry out and launch many programs about their protagonists, where the public can observe them as people, their stories and sadness, where they take a look at the suffering of fathers, mothers, wives and children, their final destiny and then about ten seasons of a reality show-style program; I'm sure that in six years viewers will get bored of the show and move on to something else that with the favor of providence is better, something less bloody and more intellectual like dog racing or chicken fights.
