UFC Fighter Proposes That Everyone In The USA Should Have To Fight At Least Once

Stephen Thompson

Fighting is far from a game, and while other sports may be played for fun, combat athletes put their bodies on the line every time they step into the arena. Yet, despite the risks they take, fighters are often criticized by fans for their performances or losses. UFC star Stephen Thompson is speaking out against this unfair treatment. He shared a solid take on combat sports, suggesting that everyone in the USA should experience at least one fight. According to Thompson, it would give people a real understanding of the effort and pain that goes into each bout.

Stephen Thompson, speaking on the Jaxxon Podcast, shared his thoughts on how everyone should experience a fight at least once. He insists that everyone must fight at least once and emphasizes that many never experience the sensation of a punch to the mouth. Thompson believes that if more individuals experienced this firsthand, they would be less likely to act aggressively, as they’d have a better understanding of the reality of physical confrontations.

In his words, “Dude, I feel like it should be mandatory for everybody in this country to have at least one fight. Let’s let everyone know what it’s like to get punched in the mouth. Because a lot of people don’t know what that feels like, and they’d be less likely to act this way.”

Ryan Garcia Raises Concern About UFC Boss Dana White’s New Boxing League

The UFC has earned its place as a beloved household name, but it’s not without its criticisms. While Dana White has earned respect for building the most dominant MMA promotion, one of the biggest issues remains fighter pay. Despite risking their bodies in the cage, fighters often don’t receive the compensation they deserve.

White’s launch of a new boxing league, similar to the UFC, has sparked reactions from big names like Ryan Garcia. ‘KingRy’ acknowledged that if the pay is not ideal and like the UFC, it will upset many boxers, but he’s happy to see the UFC involved, believing that the promotion will achieve big things in the boxing world. Indeed, it will be interesting to see how this new boxing league unfolds.
