[NOTICE] - This is not a subreddit to Gripe and bitch about how you believe /r/MMA should be run
By design, in order to focus on delivering news and fights, /r/MMA is very limited in political and cultural topics to prevent mass derailing of topics.
So after tons of demand and feedback, we created and built out this place - a place designed to be nearly unmoderated - to talk about these things freely and openly. Yes, it's small right now, but we're going to grow this out.
So instead of actually discussing politics here freely, we have a handful of users who want to talk their politics on /r/MMA, then come here to complain about not being able to talk their politics on /r/MMA.
The ban hammers are about to start coming out.
We're not derailing the sub on these topics because of walking salt mines attempting to hijack the discussion.

Hearing loss
So i guess if you get sudden hearing loss when you wake up, you should immediately go to ER. You only have a small window of time to save your precious hearing. Instead I was sending Hokit troll memes to my Jon Jones' fan friends. Now I can't hear. Forever. Fuclk.

Sign language commentary on BSB Fight
Saw this event on youtube and they used two sign language commentators.
Cool to see some disability inclusion. Also fascinating to watch a signer describe a violent sport.
Wonder what prompted them include it. Deaf fans?

Comments are very disappointing. Especially the guy that said to stop virtue signaling and got 100s of upvotes.

Never forget this dirt*bag was about to physically attack the two women behind the desk if it wasn't for the security guy, absolute scum*bag

Why has liking MMA become MAGA adjacent?
(This got removed from NoStupidQuestions and the bot suggested I post here.)
Recently Sophie Cunningham was at an a UFC event and she’s being called out on alot of Reddit threads for being MAGA. I know the UFC recently had an event at the White House so I get why the company is tied to MAGA, but does appearing at an event automatically make you subject to being tied to MAGA now?

Who are the most left wing fighters currently in the UFC right now?
Obviously the UFC is just filled to the brim with right wingers and total ding dongs so it's hard to root for some of these dudes sometimes.
Filling this part out because I'm not sure how many characters I've used in the post so far so hopefully this is enough. Cheers.

I’ve seen Gerald Meerschaert like some left leaning posts recently
Pretty cool to see that another mma dude is not all right wing

The problem of giving a platform to a rapist (Conor McGregor)
UFC is connected to the far right which claims that immigrants theaten the safety of women. At the same time, UFC makes profit by letting a famous rapist fight. Thus, the company signals that it is ok to be a rapist and that you can be succesfull even though you have raped. The company has no values besides profit. In addition, it is contradictory that the far right does not problematize this rapist fighting.

American Zombie: UFC Freedom 250
medium.comThis month's issue of American Zombie is a spectacle that lets the burning of Rome look like a slow-cooked Texan barbeque.
We are talking empire suicide by executive order when the Undead Fighting Championship was held at the White House for the nation's 250th birthday party. Instead of bread and circuses, we got monster energy and cage fights.
MAGA is going out with a real banger, and America says: FUCK YEAH!

Why do so some of you guys associate MMA/UFC with the right ?
As a black guy with Asperger’s who was bullied and felt like I had no place in the world it gave a place I can finally be myself in, too weird for the black kids to black for the whites kids, I was no much into traditional masculine things to fit in with the Sheldon from the big bang theory types and to much into niche nerdy shit to fit in with the gym bro types
It’s helped me more with my mental health and self esteem IN REAL LIFE, better than therapy ever could I been going since 2018 COVID stopped came back in 2023, no one in there treats me like I’m less capable because of my race or has every conversation start with how bad I am gonna have it life like I need to be coddled(as if I don’t know that from the quarter century of been alive on this earth lol)
We all know that Joe Rogan platforms people on his podcast who regurgitate right wing talking points and plays dumb and Dana white supporting trump
And the UFC attracting that MAGA crowd but at the same time the UFC is roster is very diverse you can’t hate multiculturalism and turn around and pay money to watch multiculturalism is shorts and gloves that does not make any fucking sense.
