UFC was shoved down our throats in the 90's and a lot of people were uncomfortable with the brutality. Boxing, at least, seemed to have some rules and you weren't allowed to pummel someone after they're down.
Joe Rogan comes from a culture and profession of hypertoxic masculinity and somehow he thinks he's a smart person.
I never considered the true meaning of "dickhead", until just now.
