      I got into UFC when the TUF was on season 2. All my favourites that I grew up watching have retired. It's hard keeping up with how the sport evolved. Seems like it's mainly the lower ranked guys want that brain damage to entertain us! I've turned into a casual. The point fighting BS sucks 😪 I wanna see finishes, whether it's a knockout or a submission. Far too many decisions on the main card these days.
