To the point where I was kind of a fan.

I kind of started tuning out MMA as a whole though. Turns out there's a lot of really shitty people in that sport. I'm old and crusty, but i liked it when it was a little less WWE. Connor followed the Floyd blueprint and tapped into the money faucet. Since then, everyone else trying to play the heel and get paid. Meh. I'm just not as interested in watching all the fighters trying to make a name for themselves by spouting ignorant shit - especially when they frequently cross the line into racist territory too.

I watched Usman break Colby down, and it was nice, but I didn't honestly feel any better about having seen hours of footage of that shit human being in the prefight. (I know, it's supposedly an act, but at a certain point you are what you put out into the world...)

The idea of most of these dudes having any kind of political influence is not something I really want to ponder.
