I've been watching some new fights for the first time in like 15 years again because I think Molly Mccann is awesome, I just love the girl, she's so down to earth but an absolute fucking beast in a fight.

And now I remember why I never ever watch cage fighting. I hate watching it, absolutey HATE it! When it goes to ground I'm always thinking about how much hard work it is, how tiring it is, I just remember myself in that position where you know you gotta take punches and defend and you're absolutely exhausted and you simply can't get out until they make a mistake. It's awful! Taking the punches is OK tbf, it's the whole being helpless just waiting and being beyond tired thing. The heat of their body and your own sweat makes you feel like you're overheating.

But when I did fight I loved it, I knew I would always be OK, I'd purposely do as little as possible to save energy. I just struggle to watch people in that same position for some reason, I HATE watching, I don't want to see it. Maybe I'm a control freak, I can do it but not watch, like a backseat driver kind of.

This is why I love watching boxing instead of MMA, even though I was much better at MMA myself.
