UFC Corruption
By Leo Gura - June 16, 2025
Of course the UFC is a corrupt racket. What else would you expect from people who punch each other in the face for a living? You expect truth, integrity, and consciousness? Violent sports are always going to be a corrupt industry. Why? Because only corrupt and unconscious people use violence to resolve disputes. Only corrupt and unconscious people would punch each other in the face for profit. There is a parallel between violent sports for men and sex work for women, in terms of corruption and low consciousness. Men of low consciousness go into violence for money. Women of low consciousness go into sex for money.
The glorification of martial arts and physical violence is corruption, but the fans don’t even realize it because the fans have the same level of consciousness as the owners and fighters. The less conscious you are, the more appealing you find violence. This is not a coincidence. It is also not a coincidence that people involved in this stuff are sexual abusers, rapists, batterers, felons, misogynists, and Trump supporters. Violence, lying, cheating, stealing, exploiting, abusing — they all come as a package. You don’t just do one.
Macho vibes = fascist vibes. What is the correlation between a UFC fan and a Trump supporter? It’s gotta be something like 90%+. Why? Development level.
Really contemplate this: Why do you find watching someone get punched in the face appealing? Seriously. That’s not as trivial as it seems. Get to the rock bottom of that. Your interests reveal things about you, they reveal your true values.
Usually it comes from insecure men who were bullied in school, who weren’t loved, who have trauma, who had dysfunctional parents, who are short in height — so they feel a need to be more macho by proving they can fight and by taking testosterone to make themselves look bigger and more manly. There is a macho fetish with people who love UFC, which aligns with political fascism, authoritarianism, and patriarchy. In the most extreme form it will turn into Nazism. But it’s not all dysfunctional. In a low consciousness, low development society, effectiveness at violence is necessary because that’s how such a society resolves its conflicts. It’s ugly but it’s necessary at that level of development, just as it’s necessary for chimpanzees to fling shit at each other.
Using violence to resolve difference in perspective is mostly a conservative, right-wing phenomenon. Why? Because the conservative mind does not have enough openmindedness to adjudicate a difference in perspective consciously. It’s much easier to beat you wife than to sit down and listen to her issues with an open mind. It’s much easier to threaten your employees rather than to sit down and compromise with them on pay and benefits.
Remember, violence is not just entertainment. It’s entertainment because it is an effective survival mechanism for low consciousness minds. In a society, the less developed the people, the more popular violent entertainment will be.
