UFC 295 Hardly Standard for Class


The wife of comedian Bill Burr is under criticism for flipping two middle fingers in the direction of former President Donald Trump at a UFC 295 event.  The act has been called "classless."

The UFC demographic is 90% male and 10% female.  The "highest chunk of UFC viewers who regularly tune in to events is between 25 to 54 years old, with the highest percentage belonging to the 25 to 35 age bracket." 

Donald Trump is interested in mobilizing young males with little interest in politics. 

I was not aware UFC set the standard for classy behavior.  

UFC heavyweight Derrick Lewis was arrested Oct. 25 and charged with reckless driving after police allegedly recorded him driving 136 miles per hour in a 50-mph zone, according to Harris County (Texas) court records.

UFC star Conor McGregor was arrested after a rampage at a UFC event.

Video footage appears to show the promotion’s most bankable star throwing a hand truck at a bus full of fighters after a Thursday news conference for UFC 223 at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.

McGregor was charged with three counts of assault and one count of criminal mischief.

A former UFC star was arrested for choking out a boxer on Bourbon Street.

I would suggest Mrs. Burr's behavior fits clearly within the UFC framework and she won the skirmish. 

Update 11-16-23:  Trump's lawyer Alina Habba wore a "f__k Joe Biden" necklace to the UFC fight show.  Now that's UFC class!
