    UFC and sports betting is not “decadent”.

    They’re fundamentally human activities that people enjoy (as they always have for all time).

    The Saudi Royal family is decadent, not betting 20 bucks on your favorite team.

      Beating the shit out of people with your bare hands is barbaric and a symptom of societal decline. It should not be a sport.
