I put the OP back the way it was too.LOL at this guy being upset because he can't understand English haha
The error in your reasoning is that professional fighting is not a normal context.
Here's the issue. Knockouts are an accepted part of fighting. It's literally a method of winning the fight that fighters attempt to use.Who cares if that person is a professional fighter or not? Getting brain damage is an unfortunate side effect of their profession...
Do you hope a construction worker falls off a building just because you find him annoying as a person?
You seem to watch fighting because you enjoy seeing people get hurt. You might want to get that checked out.

I don't root for a construction worker to fall off a building because that's not part of the process of making a building.
I don't enjoy seeing people get hurt outside of a context where getting hurt is part of the process that they sign up for and attempt to do to each other (and is one reason why they are paid more than other professions).Yes, but you are clearly not rooting for someone to win by KO, you are rooting for someone to lose by KO.
When I root for TJ Dillashaw to win, its because I know that in the process hes going to display some sweet footwork and set ups and well put together combinations.
You are not rooting for Amanda Nunes to KO Ronda because she has sick Floyd Mayweatheresque boxing skills and you want to see them displayed, you just want to see Ronda get KO'd/hurt because she is annoying.
That right there is the difference.
You just seem use fighting as a scapegoat because you enjoy seeing people get hurt.
Its wrong to want any fighter to be KO'd dummy.
Its wishing brain damage on someone you don't even know.

The second one. I'll assume you're genuinely asking while a few other people deliberately tried to misconstrue it (and got owned).I'm having a hard time fully understanding your stance. You enjoy women getting KO'd because you find them annoying, or you find particular women annoying so you want them to be KO'd?
*Whiny.Don't have an issue with TS original post....its your whiney smart ass defensive remarks you have to anyone posting. Go take out the recycling or shower.

Why are you a fan of combat sports then?
I hate to break it to you, but you're no psychic. Don't try to be one.You say that but I doubt it. If you enjoy seeing people get hurt for real, you enjoy seeing people get hurt period.
One of the goals of a fight is to knock your opponent out. If you knock them out with one punch, you've succeeded, will get paid more and will go up in rankings.The goal in combat sports is not to hurt each other badly, thats why there is a ref to intervene before serious injury occurs. Sometimes they dont do their job well enough. Brain damage is not something that any fighter goes in there hoping to receive. It is an unfortunate side effect of fighting.
Yes and when the fighters aren't paid in a manner that accounts for that, I and many other fans get upset about it. But of course, veteran fighters in the UFC get paid $100,000 or much more per fight.Also, its complete bullshit when you say that fighters get paid more than other professions due to damage they sign up to receive.
Compared to other pro athletes fighters get paid dick.
I said that the risk of injury was *one reason* why they are paid more. It's not the only thing that dictates someone's pay.If thats how it worked, Muay Thai fighters and MMA fighters would be the highest paid athletes in the world, instead of basketball/baseball/soccer players.
