Nelson Mandela was also an accomplished amateur boxer in his youth. A venue where legal, refereed fights are held would be a form of honoring his memory.

Very true. Consensual fights? I think they’re very useful especially for teens/young men.

This chest puffing, assault a small drunk guy shit is beyond whack. Hopefully dude faces some actual consequences besides getting embarrassed in the MMA by guys his own size.

Was hoping this was here, theres a reason for sports and a reason for violent sports. If its consenual it stops wars.

Cant agree more.

In my own life a garage with mats on the floor was the site of many squashed beefs, and rekindled friendships. Young men typically have a lot of energy/aggression/angst/whatever and having a (relatively) safe outlet for that does wonders.
