it’s a sport on the rise but many people
still don’t know what it’s all about
welcome to watchmojo.com Stillman we’re
counting down the top 5 myths about
mixed martial arts before we begin we
publish new videos every day so be sure
to subscribe for more great content for
this list we’ll be breaking down some of
the common misconceptions that surround
the sport of MMA and its athletes we’re
just so fascinated by fighting and who
the tough if Mike Tyson walked in here
right now it all shit your pants
number 5 MMA fighters all rich the guys
in the bank want to take my house away
this is an understandable misconception
but one that is quickly debunked when
you realize that the UFC isn’t the NBA
MLB NHL or the NFL when it comes to
salary the NFL which has the lowest
average player salary of the big four
still comes in a whopping 1.9 to 2.1
million per player the average yearly
salary for a UFC fighter a comparatively
measly $42,000 sure that’s still a
decent paycheck but not after you factor
in the gym fees taxes travel expenses
and oh yeah the fact that their job
consists of them getting pummeled inside
a cage for five rounds thank rat he made
10 grand for a fight number four you
should never have sex before a fight
this is the night before the fight
though you know you’re not supposed to
have sex the night before a fight this
sports adage has been circulating for
decades so much so that even the great
Muhammad Ali allegedly refused to have
sex for up to six weeks before a fight
however our good friends over at science
have discovered that having sex before a
fight actually improves your chances of
success it’s the opposite for women if
you have sex it raises your testosterone
let us explain you see copulation
increases your testosterone levels with
loads of sex accounting for an overall
increase in aggression it would appear
that making the beast with two backs
pre-fight isn’t so bad after all
so fighters make love before you go out
and make war in the cage

number three MMA is just human
cockfighting mixed martial arts is not
for everyone but not liking the sport
isn’t a reason to dismiss it as mindless
when the UFC was getting started back in
the 90s
former Arizona Senator and one-time
presidential candidate John McCain
publicly called the sport human
cockfighting two men pounding on each
other inside a cage clearly evoked a
soon image from McCain but MMA is much
more than that
fiercely the fighters aren’t forced to
fight they’re paid second cockfighting
typically involves one of the cocks
dying
whereas MMA fighters don’t fight to the
death to call MMA human cockfighting is
a derogatory and ill-informed label
unsurprisingly McCain later did a 180 on
this sport number two without Dana
White’s MMA wouldn’t exist I’m Dan away
from the UFC
you’re not Howie Mandel professional
sports will always be bigger than just
one person while Dana White’s
contribution to the sport of MMA can’t
be understated to say it wouldn’t exist
without him is a stretch as UFC
president white completely revitalized
sports introducing it to a larger
audience and turning it into the
multi-billion dollar industry we know
today I called my partner of Lorenzo he
was in Miami at the time and I said I
think we can buy the UFC I think these
guys are in trouble mantacorn out of
business however around the same time
that white purchased the UFC a number of
other mixed martial arts organizations
already existed in various places across
the globe in fact the Pride Fighting
Championship in Japan was drawing crowds
of over 90,000 people back in 2002 so
despite popular belief Dana White
doesn’t own MMA number one MMA is more
dangerous than boxing MMA and boxing are
simply two different beasts but the
reality is all combat sports are
dangerous boxing requires fight is to
punch each other in the head face and
body for up to 12 rounds MMA fights
involve various fighting styles many of
which focus on grappling and on the
ground wrestling thus potentially
limiting the amount of head shots
additionally most MMA fights end in
submission or goto decision which means
the fighters aren’t being knocked
unconscious while the early days of you
see were considerably more vicious the
sport now there’s a fantastic job of
limiting the risk of injury every time
someone steps in the cage within reason
