I'M NOT A CONFLICTIVE PERSON
In Las Vegas, Deobra Redden, a 30-year-old with a history of domestic violence, robbery, assault, and property damage, is being judged. Redden pleads not guilty and tells the judge, Mary Holthus, that he is not a "conflictive person." Judge Mary Holthus denies him bail, and Redden lunges at her, sending her to the hospital with a head injury.

TWO BATTLES IN ONEIn any conflict, two simultaneous battles are fought: one physical and visible, where strength and skill determine the outcome, and another mental or spiritual, invisible, where the fight is against fears, doubts, and internal emotions. While the physical battle is immediate and tangible, the mental one can be more exhausting, as it has no clear end and can extend far beyond the visible fight. Often, it's this internal battle that determines the true outcome of the confrontation.

TYSON’S SLAP TO JAKE PAULMike Tyson had been calm in the days leading up to the fight, but he made it clear that this wasn’t just a show. "I just want to fight," he warned. And boy, did he mean it. During the final face-off before this weekend's match, Jake Paul bent down and stomped on Tyson, who was barefoot. What followed was an unexpected slap from Tyson, straight to Paul’s face, shocking everyone present.
The hit left Jake Paul in disbelief, but he quickly played it off, smiling and touching his face. Tyson, without a word, left the stage, making it clear his patience had run out. Paul, who had tried to provoke him before with jokes, finally got the reaction he wanted.

10 VS 2In recent years, the spectacle of fights has been going downhill without brakes, and the worst part is that it seems like no one is at the wheel. The brainstorming sessions of promoters must be absolute madness: fights in phone booths, fights in pools, two vs. two, two girls against one guy, two dwarfs against a guy of average height… It’s no longer about organizing real fights, but about who can come up with the most absurd idea.
The latest? Two professional fighters against ten amateur fighters, a complete spectacle organized by Real Xtreme Fighting (RXF), Romania’s top MMA league. Basically, it’s like throwing two medieval knights against ten peasants or putting two pit bulls against ten poodles.
Where do we draw the line? No idea. But at this rate, MMA is turning more into a circus than a sport. Full speed downhill with no brakes.
