it can cause violence and hate.

I wrote my state Congress Reps and suggested our state ban the UFC after that comment last night. Have to hit them in the wallet. Been almost a whole day and no apologies from anyone making money off of those fights. I’ll never watch the UFC again. They have not kicked that bigmouth out of the UFC yet?
