My Top 5 UFC Moments That Went Too far. 

Intro.

As time has gone by, The art of what is seen as acceptable has been brought into question. UFC hasn't been able to escape this. Multiple aspects of how the promotion has handled itself over the years has been, held over with scrutiny, so I decided to take a look at the moments that left me feeling a bit uneasy.

5. Julian Lane's Ultimate Fighter Run.

Season 16 of The Ultimate Fighter saw Shane Carwin, and. Roy Big Country Nelson, guide a group of aspiring Welterweights, as they competed on opposite teams, aiming to win a UFC contract, among those hopefuls was Julian Lane. His rant has become the stuff of meme legend, but when you big beneath the surface. I don't think he should've been on the show. He clearly had issues, and it was evident for all to see. This is why I feel that safeguarding is so important in the entertainment industry. Fighters are human beings, and not animals.

4. Fights In The Ultimate Fighter House.

The UFC's flagship show is one of the main courses for drama, bullying, and of course fights, when these fights happen in the house, then questions need to be answered. Why has been allowed to be broadcasted on national TV, when in the infant days of the company, they were trying to build their brand. Noah, and Waylon from season 5, and. Charlie vs Tony, from season 13 both come to mind.

3. Bethe Correia.

I can't condone someone bringing up another persons personal tragedy, in order to sell a fight, this is what happened in the build up to UFC 190. Suicide isn't something to be made fun of.

2. Colby Covington.

This guy is a walking talking trash bag, we all love him. Oh just me then. Colby has managed to anger a load of people over the years, but it was his rivalry with Jorge Masvidal, that changed the game, because he pretty much offended everyone.

1. Moving an entire PPV So That Jon Jones Could Fight.

2019 was a good year for the Vegas outlet, the only thing is, they pissed off a load of fans, when they moved UFC 232. This was rumoured so they could get around a Usada ruling surrounding a drug test abnormality when it Jones spiked for a banned substance. I understand that money of all that is evil, but this was a bit much if you ask me.
