Why Watching MMA Strips Human Dignity

Sometimes the forms of entertainment we choose to watch raise
important moral questions. In this episode, Fr. Mike puts the sport
of mixed martial arts on trial for its glorification of unnecessary
violence. He distinguishes between the ability to defend yourself
and forcing someone into submission through physical strength.
Drawing from Christ’s example of meekness, Fr. Mike explains how
martial arts as a discipline can be noble while mixed martial arts
as entertainment is not.
