I do enjoy MMA, not actively watching or anything, but it's one of the only sports that if it's passing on the TV somewhere I actively pay attention and have watched some matches (I find especially interesting the first UFC championships when it still was Karate vs Sumo type of thing). I've also trained martial arts for a good chunk of my life, so I watch those matches for the technical side of the fight. All of that being said, I have to agree with him, a good chunk of people I know who actively watch MMA are douches, there are a few exceptions, one of my best friends watches every fight, and he's only a douche to people who deserve it, but most of the people who watch the fights with him are very douchy.
