Violence as Entertainment? Ultimate Fighting Causes Ultimate Controversy

By Dovinea, published Mar 11, 2008

Ultimate Fighting, Cage Combats, Toughman...these are just of the titles given to the sport that is causing widespread controversy across the U.S. This type of "entertainment" involves two amateur fighters being placed in a ring for a no holds barred combat of fists and feet.

At least a dozen people have been killed, and many more critically injured, in these types of events. The real concern is that this number will begin to grow just as rapidly as the number of inexperienced companies organizing these fights increases.

The latest political pressure against the sport has really put the spotlight on the dangers involved with this activity. This, teamed with many anti-fighting professionals throughout the U.S., is encouraging the public to take a stand and support them in banning the events. Medical professionals, particularly those who have treated wounded fighters, are really getting involved to attempt to hault these competitions.
