Debate: Ban on cage fighting

Should cage fighting be banned?

Background and context

Cage fighting is a form of mixed martial arts that involves the use of nearly any punch, kick, knee, elbow, or hold. Many consider it to be more violent and bloody than boxing. And, this has caused significant opposition by some groups, which are often the same ones that call for banning boxing.

Should Cage Fighting (or MMA) be banned for it being too violent?

Pro

• Mixed Martial Arts promotes an entertainment comparable to the gladiator fights in the Roman Colosseum

Cage fighting is nothing more than a human cockfight. It pits two human beings with no prior argument into a caged in arena where they attempt as hard as they can to cause as much pain as possible to the other man. There is no room for such a barbaric sport in today's society.
