UFC 117 played this past saturday. Being a huge follower of the mma sport, I tuned in, as usual. The card was amazing. Each and every fight was an all out war between two grown men refusing to lose. Men getting pounded on round after round only to persevere and become victorious. "Death bf Defeat" says the Head Rush t-shirt. Sporting a skull with some sort of viking helmet on. Oh and not to mention the chains coming out of this badass skulls face. Looking through the crowed in between fights this is all you will see.
Tanned big boobed "women" wearing next to nothing are a dime a dozen at these events. I believe they stand, looking into their closets, asking themselves what can make them look the sleeziest. Huge heels, shirts transformed to dresses, and lets not forget your gaudy, over the top, costume jewelry. This is what makes the essential UFC going female. Hoping they will find someone to pay for their evening.
Gelled hair, dark MEK jeans, and a badass Affliction shirt. This gives off the vibe that you are not to be fucked with. You are a man, and you obviously know how to fight. Because you were affliction... right? Tanned up douchebags going broke for the night to impress the piece of trash, Oops, I meant lady, sitting beside him.
Having participated in the sport of MMA and knowing a few UFC fighters personally, this stereotypical attire gives them a bad rep in my eyes. FireFighters that have children, Purdue Graduates, High School wrestling coaches. These everyday people are being represented by demonic creatures ripping through their clothes, skulls and skeletons, chains and tribals, blended all together to make you look like a badass. Yeah... right. I guess I am wondering why 95% of fight wear makes me look atheist. Fighting is what we have done since the begining of time, to show ownership and possesion. Why is it just recently labeled with black, dark grey, and silver lining? Hopefully it is just a phase.
It would be nice to turn on a pay per view, go to a bar, or walk through the mall without seeing some lost soul wearing clothing that "makes him look tough." Someone out there, anyone, please break the mold.
Dont believe me? Google "UFC fan" have fun. Oh, dont forget to make a fist like a boxer in your next picture.
