better question about a death in the Octagon

I didn't want to hijack this thread, but it brought up a debate at work.

i don't have polling priv's, or i'd make it a poll.

if a death did occur in the octagon, would you rather have seen it in a LIVE PPV, in real time, or would it be better if it were an undercard so most people didn't see it (or had to go much further out of their way to see it)?

ya i'm a sick fuck; i'd hope it was on of the fights on the live card.

i hope it never happens, but if it did i hope it would be an undercard fight, that shit would give opponents of mma all the fuel they needed if it happened live. i would probably watch it dont get me wrong, but not for pleasure just to see how it happened.

mma will never go away regardless of what happens, people need to relax, and dont start jinxing threads either

I'll see your don't want to see it in the Octagon and raise you one. I don't want to see a death in MMA in a cage of any shape, in a ring or any other fight surface in any country on any card either PPV aired, unaired, free. Please help me out and add that which I am missing?

I don't want to see a fighter to die, but to see one get kicked in the head and knocked unconscious or a fighter's bone to snap is a-ok.

if it did happen live no one would know that the person fighting was actually dead untill much later. guysget knocked out for minutes at a times(sean salmon) and they dont show him lieing there unconsious the entire time, we would only find out later

It's great watching a fighter drop unconscious and stay on the ground for an hour but I rather wouldn't want to see anybody die in the octagon or a ring for that matter.

I think that you are either being silly or are not that bright by human standards.

Please answer this question honestly.

Do you really believe that ANY MMA event in the USA would NOT be cancelled if a death occurred in one of the preliminary fights?


If you answer yes, and believe that that event WOULD continue after a death in one of the preliminary fights, what do you think the MMA organizations liability would be if a second main card fighter died on that same card?

You are crazy if you answered yes to the first question and an imbecile if you think that any company would survive allowing two separate deaths in one sporting event. Not only would the company that allowed this barbarism be shut down, its executives would be imprisoned, but as Sublime stated:

I can't take pity on men of this kind, even though they now take it in the behind!
