Even the philosopher Plato took part in games like MMA.
In the Middle Ages, the knights and experts in the art of battle were people not from the poor, but from the upper class.
The Lord God created us as men, therefore manliness in a man develops only power sports.
In our life, we can clog our guts too carefree life, but imagine if we lived in past centuries? and what if there is an invasion like Genghis Khan or Suleiman, who want to seize the Christian world?
No need to relax in our time. Boxing, wrestling is a sport for real men, and it is undeniable.
Boys who train their mind in school, and train their muscles and hands in training, these are wise guys who, like future men, spend a rational time and do not engage in any nonsense (drugs, alcohol, empty fun)
Boxing as a sport, has nothing to do with this fatal incident, here the problem must be sought for other reasons.
 
The guy who passed away into eternity wanted to get a green card in the USA, but he took care of his family, he was not thinking about himself.
I think it would be very good if the USA provided Green Card for his wife and child.
But believe me, the fighters are not one of those guys who chew chips on the couch all day with a fat belly.
We constantly have bruises, we are constantly choking on the lack of oxygen, but this is how we produce a breather.
Even on the faces of boxers and wrestlers it is clear that they are warriors, especially professional boxers.
I did not go into the details of this fight, but it seems to me that it is time to pay attention to the tolerances, not only medical tolerances, but also tolerances/permits from the amateur to the professional ring, and definitely there is a necessity to pay attention to the referees, I think that the referees should be more competent, especially in such fights.

I don’t see why it has to be exclusively for men. If it is the ‘sweet science’ then surely it’s sweet for everyone?
 
There are different opinions regarding the participation of women in power sports. I am not an expert in this, although personally I would not recommend strength sports to my daughter.
 
I might recommend judo to a daughter. (Incidentally in the United States because of Title 9 legislation the women’s version of these sports is a fait accompli and way out past the gate, not a discussion point; and it must be the same for many other countries as well because whenever I watch televised judo competitions there are no shortage of female judoka from a variety of coutries.)

Good judokas are often former gymnasts. Good jiu wrestlers, these are often those wrestlers who also go for free-style wrestling and tackle themselves in the stance.
Some parents lead their children to acrobatics, and only then to the Greco-Roman or free-style wrestling.
I personally would recommend wrestling to the parents and not boxing, because in the wtestling no one hits you in the head, but boxing is a more entertaining sport, and tragedies like this happen very rarely.
I do not understand how boxers can experience themselves in a young age in a professional ring?
Professional ring is not for everyone, just like flying into space is not for everyone.

I’d say the stark difference between combat sports and football or hockey is that the former encourage intent to injure while the latter forbid it. Yes, injuries are inevitable in contact sports, but at least precautions are taken to minimize injuries, both with protective gear and with the rules. In fact, the health benefits of the exercise actually outweigh the damage caused by the injuries, according to this study by the NIOSH: Page Not Found | NFL Football Operations That’s not to say it was always the case, but now that we know more about head injuries, the leagues are taking more steps to protect the players, whereas once these sports were played without helmets and people died.
 
I watched the female fighter undercard for the last Fury fight. The American was quite skilled.
 
I agree about the intent to injure and the difference there. And for brain injuries in football, how fundamentally does the game need to change to avoid head on collisions? With ice hockey, those are illegal already. The heavy equipment actually makes it worse compared to a sport like rugby.
 
Perhaps one of the few to some extent positive aspects of the Soviet heritage was the lack of desire in the sport to get rich fabulously.
There were of course Soviet and Cuban boxers who dreamed of running to the USA and getting into the professional ring.
But in those days there were more traits of modesty and honor among athletes. Athletes, for example, used nuts and honey, and not a whole dozen of artificial chemistry. In spartan conditions, legendary athletes grew up (some notice that in terms of comfort, modern halls and fitness centers, the results are worse than in those times when there was not even cold water or even a shower in the gym)
In a communism world professional boxing was forbidden.
In Cuba is banned (as of 2017). So was also the case in Sweden between 1970 and 2007, and Norway between 1981 and 2014.
The Amateur boxing is Olympic style sport, and in the authentic original Olympic principle there were no mercantile interests.
Probably, where there is big money and a show in the gladiatorial spirit, the measure of what is permitted in man created in the image of God disappears.

So, what is the Catholic/Christian conclusion we should make ?
Most of us are pro-boxing (Olympic, amateur boxing) аnd pro-wrestlìng (we welcome all kinds of wrestling) but many are against the fight of MMA and professional boxing.
The reasons are
1)the essence of MMA fight is violence.
These are modern gladiatorial fights for the entertainment of the public.
The human beings have dignity but violence for entertainment strips the person out of dignity.
2)There is too much money spinning there, and big money spoils the people and communities.
When we think about sports, we try to Christianize our analytics, right?
Otherwise our society is a pagan ancient Roman society that adores “bread and show” ,gladiatorial battles, and money at all costs.
Is it right conclusion?
No MMA? and no profes. boxing?
but the problem is that Pancration and MMA are getting extremely popular these days all over the world, many coaches and athletes switch to these martial arts.

Just reminded:
“If morality requires respect for the life of the body, it does not make it an absolute value. It rejects a neo-pagan notion that tends to promote the cult of the body, to sacrifice everything for its sake, to idolize physical perfection and success at sports. By its selective preference of the strong over the weak, such a conception can lead to the perversion of human relationships.”

I’m not a boxing fan, but I’ve always admired their physical conditioning and discipline.

Click to expand...
I read a quote, something to the extent, ‘Only a poor person can become a good boxer, because only a poor person will put himself through the pain of boxing to earn a living.’
 
In the Greco-Roman wrestling, the Scandinavians and the Northern rich European countries are quite good.
In free-style wrestling, the North Americans and Japanese are good, but I agree the poor countries are very good (Cuba, Georgia)
But what I think is that today, young people are possesed by desire for beautiful body ( fitness culture)
Martial arts are very popular.
Sometimes this possession/desire grows into such an obsession that people become entangled in their life priorities.
The same can happen with any sport.
Beautiful body is secondary, compared to marriage, family, the ability to earn money, give birth and raise children.
In fitness clubs, I see middle-aged women and men who are obsessed with caring for the beauty of their bodies.
The people don’t marry, the people don’t have children, people use artificial whitamins to have beautiful bodies. This is gaining mass.
The ideal of playboy beauty becomes a measure.
Also, the idea of dedicating oneself to professional sports is wonderful, but it is risky not only with health, but as we see it is also risky with cruelty, mercantile spirit, gladiator spirit, desire for the smell of blood, etc.

The combat sports, can cure a number of spiritual ailments and completely transform a person.
The combat sports can heal from sexual, psycho-sexual, moral, mental, and many other types of vices.
That is, the therapeutic, physiological, and transformative effects of sports should not be neglected.
But for some reason, the fathers and teachers of the church knew and saw the negative aspects of sports.
There are theories that St. Luke’s Greek word for agony *(in the garden) … means **struggle…not pain or torment…and in the Greek-speaking world that same word meant…sport…
Saint Augustine preached against sport and bishopsconstantly exhorted Christian emperors to end the Olympic Games and close the stadia…**Tertullian (Father of Church) and Novatian wrote whole books on sports and its utter incompatibility with Christian principles. ** Saint Thomas Aquinas wrote whole articles on the vices that sport expresses as aberrations, violations of Christian principles of life, and in fact sins. **Preachers **of the Middle Ages spoke unanimously against sport and so did lawmakers…but the best they could often do was to put in some rules to govern the “struggle”!
 
It turns out that everything that is given to a person with free will is mutually acute. In my opinion, if sport helps in the fight against sin, then this is great! If sport leads to sins (deception by wealth, hacking, arrogance, pomp, pride, cruelty, and thirst for gladiatorial shows and outcomes, then this is the destructive influence of sports.

I like the separation of chivalrous and gladiator aspects. Gladiatorial qualities in terminology are considered a guideline of fearlessness, but we Christians pay attention to the brutally violent aspects of gladiatorship.
The chivalrous aspects of sports are what Christianize sports.
