News flash they're not modern day warriors
On point ?
Public records research done by the show found that, per 100,000 U.S. men, there was a domestic violence arrest rate of 360. In that same sample, HBO Real Sports found 750 MMA fighters and 210 NFL players. There was no comparison listed between UFC fighters and NFL players, however.
They compared the entire sport of MMA vs the NFL. There are way way more MMA fighters out there than there are NFL players, that is not exactly comparing apples to apples. Why did not they bring up boxing and shows numbers for that...possibly because HBO is in bed with that sport but not MMA ? That whole report was slanted.

watched it. THat was so dumb lol. HBO probably taking a hit in their boxing ratings or something. they talk about how the UFC signs / pays a dude with a domestic violence charge, yet boxing just paid mayweather what, 100 million, to dance around for 12 rounds? 
More like 180 million. Meanwhile Conor McGregor just made like 3-4 million for fighting at UFC 189.
