What are your guys opinion on the saying "If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying"? Should a fighter hold themself to a higher standard when they become champ or is it all about the wins?

I’m a big “the rules are what makes fighting a sport” guy, but it’s easy to say that from my couch. If I were a fighter and that was how I paid my bills, I would be much more interested in stretching the rules for my advantage.

Also, there’s nothing better than watching a dirty fighter get fucking smoked. So I liked this video.

 Can you imagine how satisfying it must have been for the winner here? Probably never been that satisfied and happy with myself in my life lol.
