        Wow, that’s quite a statement. There’s definitely a higher-than-average group of meat heads and assholes (both the fighters and the fans) but they’re also athletes like any other. Many of them have trained their entire lives to compete. McGregor is the most visible, and unfortunately he’s an absolute piece of shit, but it’s ignorant to project that onto every martial artist.

        For who? The person thinking, “look, I am willing to have my face turned into hamburger and have a high chance of brain damage but I draw a hard line if someone is juicing?” Or the chuds betting on it?

          Either they all should be able to juice or none of them. In fact, Mark Hunt sued the UFC over this very thing. The UFC was scheduling him to fight juiced fighters and it shortened his career.

          If someone has an unfair advantage when they’re doing a bike race, then that person steals the other person’s glory and money. If someone has an unfair advantage during a fight then they’re stealing the other person’s glory and money AND they get beat to a fucking bloody pulp when they shouldn’t have.

        Maybe some people believe they should all equally be able to drug up as much as they want. They’re beating each other up for money and fun anyway. Maybe increase the spectacle. Fights between the best fighters science can create.

        The day the cybernetic implants start will be a hell of day.

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
