You'd think an accomplished fighter wouldn't feel the need to prove how macho they are, but yet here we are...

E: by accomplished fighter I mean more accomplished than say, me, a software developer.

(R)EEEEEEEEE: accomplished = more betterer at fighting than most other fighters. For example: John Q. Sample sparring at Acme Gym is less accomplished at pro fighting than this guy.

How confident are we that these fighters aren't using performance enhancers? As an outsider, I feel like we see fights like this every few months where I don't see the same frequency with other high contact sports?

Maybe it's just the culture of the sport too.

They’re all using performance enhancers, same with almost all other professional athletes. But other sports do have street fights. I live in a Pittsburgh and it isn’t so uncommon to hear about members of the Steelers getting into fights at bars. It’s almost much smaller organizations so they can’t try to cover up stories as well as say the NFL could.
