Regarding the behavior of MMA fighters, it really is not different from other sport where the object of the game is to win. To be honest, i do feel that without guys like Brock, MMA today is very boring. Everyone does the same thing, stand up, clinch and ground. Maybe if full contact weapon is included, it would revive MMA even better but it would only be temporary.
In many ways, MMA could end up like pro wrestling, it is a possibility because we already have a couple of fighters hyping their fights and the fact that the UFC did not really discourage them from not doing so.
Thank you, it's taken me a full ten minutes to stop laughing and dry my eyes at this. Imagine everyone doing the same thing in MMA, dear me they'll be saying everyone who fights Muay Thai does the same thing next!
MMA doesn't need reviving, it's hale and hearty and coming to a venue near you sooner than you think.
Weapons, oh dear, I love it when someone misses the point of MMA totally.
