Intro: "Violent? Pft, No Way"

In the past throughout history, our world that we have come to know has always had some sort of entertainment. We could have careless of how "violent" it really was. Rewinding to the past to ancient Greece people/citizens were put in a arena with beast twice the individual size for pure enjoyment/punishment. Did we care then? No, we just stood in suspense to see if the tables would be turned; the "man" would come out be a "warrior". As the philosopher Rousseau would say "Nature never deceives us; it is we who deceive ourselves", honestly we all want to see people compete because we, ourselves are not capable of competing on that level. We sometime foolishly abide with what maybe morally right to others rather than our thoughts. Remember the term "Gladiator"? Fierce warriors who competed in arm combat to see who would be last man standing. However, nowadays we have something similar an organization called "Ultimate Fighting Championship" (UFC). Where experienced martial artists/wrestlers, compete within an octagon. To be announced the "ultimate fighter"(within their weight class). Although this has been a long time sport in our history, New York has addressed it as being illegal within New York, for its violence which referred to as “Human cock fighting” as Senator John McCain would address it. But, this is misleading notion; in this essay I will argue that the UFC is an acceptably safe sport, therefore should be legalized in the state of New York. Codes of conduct and rules make a safe sport, given; the UFC has a code of conduct and rules. It then follows that the UFC is a safe sport.
