Does Russia need an MMA trash heap?
Oh, sport, you... What is sport in Russia today? For the most part, it’s a way to make money. Moreover, it requires a fair amount of investment. However, in Russia it is about the same as in the rest of the world, where it is customary to invest in children in sports. Much like how failed Dutch driver Jos Verstappen invested in his son Max. The project turned out to be more than successful.
But let’s leave the world, because today we have a little different from the rest of the world, but the general trend continues - sport has ceased to be a means of developing the spirit and body and, in general, has become a means of developing income.
On the one hand, there is nothing wrong with this, the fact that an athlete earns money from his skills and abilities, he cannot earn anything else, but on the other hand, all this results in the most shameful show, which used to be called the Olympics. No honor, no dignity, no pride for the country: under a white rag, after total humiliation and deprivation of sports citizenship, some especially flexible athletes are granted the highest permission to participate in competitions.
Well, in general, it’s normal - the rag is white, but the dollar is still green... And the reward, if anything happens, can then be taken back by the court and given to whomever it should be.
But that's all in general. In general, today sport in Russia is becoming an elitist matter, since you really need to invest in it. But that's not what we're talking about. And about what sport can demonstrate to citizens.
Football, for example, has been demonstrating for 30 years how you can earn huge amounts of income without doing anything. Somehow I can’t even call it a salary. Hockey is more difficult. There, at least you have to be able to skate, but football doesn’t require such expenses.
But football has a competitor.
I don’t know if MMA can be called a sport; we’ll talk about the sports component a little lower. In the meantime, we will talk about a slightly different component, cultural, which, I admit, I don’t like even more than performances under the white flag of surrender.
So, MMA. It seems to be a sport that takes its name from the English mixed martial arts. It is also completely mistakenly called “fights without rules”, because there are more than enough rules. This is a combined martial arts with a combination of many techniques. MMA is a full-contact fight using striking techniques and wrestling both standing and on the ground.
As such a sport, MMA is no better or worse than any other contact sport, such as taekwondo or boxing. The whole question is how to approach this.
We will approach from the point of view from which you can take a close look at what MMA is today. What was sports yesterday - yes, it was. Today?
Today I propose to look at the part that is not sports.
A small digression.
Who is most interested in MMA? Immigrants from the Caucasus and Central Asia. Who makes up the backbone of MMA in our country? So far, they are from the Caucasus region.
This is fine. From time immemorial, what was held in high esteem by Caucasians? That's right, wrestling and football. And MMA fit in there like it was at home. Well, Chechens and Dagestanis do not have a genetic predisposition to water and winter sports. They don't like running, swimming, skiing...
In Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, from where so-called “foreign specialists” are pouring in, everything is no better. I specifically looked at the statistics of these countries at the Olympic Games.
Tajikistan was able to win as many as 32 Olympic medals in 4 years:
1 gold (LA, hammer throw);
1 silver (Greco-Roman wrestling);
2 bronze (judo and boxing).
Uzbekistan will be cooler, 36 medals:
10 gold (boxing – 5, weightlifting – 2, wrestling – 2, taekwondo – 1);
6 silver (boxing – 2, wrestling – 2, judo – 2);
20 bronze (boxing – 8, wrestling – 4, weightlifting – 1, judo – 5, trampolining – 1, artistic gymnastics – 1).
As you can see, my calculations are confirmed. About 80% are from martial arts. Well, it seemed okay, there were a lot of good runners among the Africans, but somehow there weren’t any decent shooters.
But in general, today's MMA industry is almost completely tailored to this audience. A fight composed of several styles is just right for representatives of the Central Asian region. Everything is quite primitive in terms of spectacle and not expensive in terms of costs. Yes, actually, what could be the costs if gloves are not even required?
But a loyal policy of the state is simply necessary, on whose territory this abomination can be produced and multiplied.
There is loyalty, organized crime groups “Diaspora” are protected, “clubs” like “clubs” are opened in batches for “foreign specialists”. MMA clubs. Combined with prayer rooms. And in these “clubs” coaches appeared from somewhere. Uzbek and Tajik bottling, naturally.
As a result, there was news in the media. Just read it letter by letter: in the capital, security forces broke up Russia's largest underground MMA tournament "Colosseum" between illegal migrants. That is, all the same Uzbeks, Tajiks, and Kyrgyzs came to Russia illegally and a tournament was organized for them here.
Did I understand correctly - they didn’t come to us to work, but to train in beating people’s faces?
After all, an illegal immigrant is not an athlete. He has no documents, he is not registered with the sports association or the relevant medical center. He just came to punch and kick. And, as I understand it, and I’m generally understanding, he doesn’t know how to do anything else, and he doesn’t really want to.
Why should this newcomer lay tiles or bricks if he (according to one disgusting individual) earns so much in one fight that he doesn’t need to think about anything?
And today I clearly say: while our government is flirting with diasporas, while individual governors fall under the leaders of the abu bandits, in our cities these organized crime groups “Diasporas” are raising fighters. These are not athletes, they are just fist fighters. Bandits are about to take to the streets for a very transparent purpose.
These are simply trained killers who will kill. Whom? And who was practically acquitted in that very Chelyabinsk region, which can no longer be called a vilayet, and whose governor, by strange chance, does not yet wear a burqa?
So, the fairest court of the Chelyabinsk region, the Kartalinsky City Court, assigned this MMA-handsome Rustam Baizhumenov a suspended sentence for the murder of the Russian Maxim Nikitin, a voluntary participant of the SVO.
The killer killed Baizhumenov, and not through negligence, but with a well-practiced blow to the larynx of a Russian guy who intervened in the ugly scene that was staged by the same Baizhumenov.
However, about the Chelyabinsk region, whose officials have long been dancing the Lezginka in an embrace with the Diaspora organized crime group, there has been a flow of information for a long time, but the leaders do not care at all. And the State Duma deputies and the head of the Investigative Committee had to intervene so that the abu bandit would end up back behind bars with the prospect of spending 10-15 years there.
Yes, boxing, wrestling, now MMA. The cult of power, which flourishes in the regions from which a flow of migrants of not the highest cultural level comes to us today, has long been a component of everyday life. And sport for abu migrants is not a sport, it is a component of life that is akin to jihad. It doesn't matter cultural or physical. The important thing is that Asian chauvinism, Russophobia and tribalism are added to this physical preparation.
Do you know what tribalism is? A picture of this is “jackal packs” of migrants or their children, terrorizing everyone in their areas of residence. True, they call it “brotherly help,” but, in essence, it is packs of jackals who beat up Russian children one by one in schools.
In general, this flock-aul principle is very clearly visible. One migrant is an organism quieter than water and lower than the grass, he even pretends to communicate in some way. But once you gather a flock of five and beyond - that’s it, forget about intelligence, all instincts. Moreover, the instincts of cowards are in a pack.
And their attitude towards strangers-guiaurs is complete contempt. First of all, to the weak - the gene of caution works, none of the migrants will ever interfere alone. Only in a crowd, a flock with fellow tribesmen. Yes, in childhood the social circle can still be diverse, but not for long; at the age of 10 it becomes exclusively diasporic.
And let’s be honest, diaspora education is not like that. More precisely, they educate there, of course, but who? Abu bandits. The best example is the scandal at the youth rugby tournament in St. Petersburg, where teams from Dagestan and Ingushetia staged a party. The authorities, as usual, chewed a bucket of multinational snot, saying that all this was within the framework of sportsmanship, but the Internet is full of evidence of how young rugby players of these republics behaved: they insulted all the participants indiscriminately, booed the winners, broke the rules, beat the participants , used choking techniques during the game.
Plus the favorite multinational friendly “throat-cutting” gestures towards other participants. In general, pressure from the Caucasian side took place constantly.
I wonder why the Ministry of Sports of Dagestan, having published the results of the tournament, closed comments? Is it because the students of Dagestan Rugby behaved like animals at the “Unconquered Leningrad” tournament and did everything to ruin the tournament and their memory? And the Internet is filled with indignant appeals to the Rugby Federation? The Federation, however, is busy with something very serious and has not yet been able to respond.
And these were born in 2010 and 2012. What is in the minds of those who are older is a question... But it is clear that nothing good.
This part of, so to speak, diaspora MMA is nothing more than simply raising militants on Russian territory. Underground, in underground clubs. For what? Yes, all for the same thing that already happened in Azerbaijan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan after the collapse of the USSR. To rob, kill, so to speak, to realize their friendship in the conditions of modern Russia.
Excuse me, but what else should I expect from illegal immigrants who entered the country and do not want to work?
They’re not bringing their own culture, and they’re not going to integrate into Russian culture, are they? However, we have all already seen what kind of “culture” they can bring. A demonstration of smelly asses under the pretext of fulfilling religious needs swept across all of Russia.
And it wasn’t the urge to pray, no. This is a demonstration that the visitors don’t care about anything, they just want it that way. Allah will not accept such, if I may say so, “namaz”, because there is one violation after another, starting with ghusl/wudu and ending with the fact that if you believe Abdulkerim Alizadeh, the author of the “Islamic Encyclopedic Dictionary”, unintentional omission of an obligatory prayer is not considered a sin , but this prayer must be performed at another time.
By the way, one of the main requirements is that the place of prayer be clean. It should not be a slaughterhouse, a cemetery, a pen for some animals, or a place for performing natural needs. So the metro and underground passages are excluded, they are regarded as dungeons, and performing namaz in a dungeon is the same as praying among sewage. But - nothing bothers some.
But “this is different.” Here it is important to show the infidels that a real Tajik hero did not care about everything except his desires. Today, “namaz” in the subway or on the bus, fights, drug dealing are not a very rich cultural layer for migrants. Very enriching spiritually.
And here it is very important that these organisms understand exclusively the language of force. And their idols are mostly in the MMA ring. And this also causes a lot of problems.
Now let's move on to sports.
To begin with: I myself wanted to talk to someone sane from that (MMA) side, but alas, the only contender for this, in my understanding, fellow countryman Misha Mavashi, did not respond to invitations made by all available means. And the sports component of MMA will have to be analyzed in this way... in our own way.
What is sport? This is first and foremost respect. Respect for the opponent, the rules of fair fighting, and the judges.
Where is the respect in MMA? In trash talk, where fighters spit at each other and tell the cameras who took whose sister to the movies? Yes, someone will say that this is an “inalienable tradition” and so on, but just transfer this to the final of any competition, at least in boxing, and the difference will be obvious.
Well, 80% of this is feigned rudeness, for the sake of stirring up interest in the fight, so that an inexperienced viewer will paint a picture of a bloody battle in perspective and pay their hard-earned money for the broadcast. It’s no secret, I hope that in the vast majority of countries MMA broadcasts are paid. And if the viewer wants bread and circuses, then for his 50 dollars he simply must get them.
MMA has a unique target audience. According to MMAFacts, the bulk of the American audience consists of viewers under 24 (10%), 24 to 34 (30%) and 35 to 44 (another 30%). Men make up 75 to 90% of the audience. By the way, the average annual income of target audience is up to $50 per year, which is not even an average. In terms of ethnicity, the vast majority are African American and Hispanic.
The study found five main reasons why people watch MMA:
- excitement;
- sports betting;
- application of knowledge;
- vicarious achievement;
- socialization.
Everything here is clear, except, perhaps, for the substitutionary achievement. But with him everything is simple: if the idol of a person who has not reached a more or less significant level wins, then the fan, as it were, takes over part of the achievement. It’s like “We won.” Well, you understand, we also usually win those who do it at the screens, and not sit in the trenches.
In Asia, everything is also not bad, interest in fights is growing. And here, both from Russians of Asian origin and from illegal migrants. And the result is the disruption of illegal championships among illegal immigrants, held in quite Russian “sports” clubs such as “Firuz team”, which is on 7th Tekstilshchikov Street, building 5, which belongs to the autonomous NGO “Civil-Patriotic Organization “Nadezhda”. This organization seems to be (not sure) engaged in the patriotic education of youth, according to its statutory documents. True, these documents do not specify for which country Nadezhda is raising patriots.
And then, during the raid in the “Firuz team”, about 50 illegal immigrants were detained, the vast majority were Tajiks, protocols were drawn up against 20, providing for administrative liability for violating migration legislation, 10 were subject to deportation from the Russian Federation.
Very strange “patriotic values” are fostered by the NGO “Civil Patriotic Organization “Nadezhda”.
But illegal immigrants are half the story, if not the tip of the iceberg. To illegal fights you can immediately add drug trafficking (and don’t say that this is the lot of blacks in the USA), underground betting and other pleasures that are common in the countries of Central Asia and are not yet very widespread here. Rumor has it that bacha bazi is no longer uncommon in the capital's underground establishments for migrants.
This is how we get MMA. It’s a very mixed martial arts and it’s not entirely clear who is fighting with whom.
Moreover, in no case should we indiscriminately condemn everyone involved in this. Whoever likes what, and even in MMA there are a large number of worthy people.
Ossetian MMA fighter Alan Abaev:
I want to dedicate this victory to everyone who is participating, who is there at the Northern Military District. I would like to dedicate the victory to the Storm-Ossetia battalion. And give the entire fee to them. It's more needed there.
There are no questions about this person, as an example of a real fighter. The point here is not how he earned the money and how he disposed of it. It's all about how noble everything looks.
And here is the second example, Timurlan Pirmatov, who has already been dubbed Primatov on the Internet.
Born, raised, studied and trained in Krasnoyarsk. He studied at a Russian school, and naturally has a Russian passport. He integrated very actively, and as a result, he enters fights exclusively with the Kyrgyz flag. Before a fight, he loves to tell in the purest Russian language that he, like no one else, has the true qualities of a champion. Which, however, does not stop him from beating the gong on the sly. But to hit a Russian before the battle begins is an honor for a Kyrgyz!
The Russian, Yaroslav Kuk, was not a touchy person at all. And he didn’t harbor any grudges for the blow, however, he gave the champion-batyr Pirmatov a complete beating. And that’s it, the mask of culture fell off the hero.
“Haters and others! Take a walk in the forest! And I will continue to earn money, I just earned enough for two cars!”
And today such bearded pornography is the idol of those who gather in jackal packs when they are young and catch Russian schoolchildren one by one. And in between such friendly holidays, they go to MMA clubs. And there, naturally, after prayer, they train.
I have nothing against prayer, especially when it is held in a specially designated place, and not on a bus or at the subway exit. And the Koran, it should be noted, is a very worthy human creation.
Our main problem is that we are looking at Islam from the same point of view as Orthodoxy. We pray, fast, listen to the priest - this is not about Islam. Islam is a military-political doctrine of survival as much as a religion can be.
And the Koran, from my point of view, is more like a charter. And in general, this gave a military-religious (commander + political officer) platform for waging wars. Let me note – successful wars. It was thanks to severe discipline in both components that, in general, the Quraish Arab tribe, which was not the most numerous and far from the richest, conquered both Christian Byzantium and Zoroastrian Iran.
Are they training conquering fighters in underground MMA clubs? Why not? This fits quite normally into the doctrine of Wahhabi radicalism, and the Tajiks and Uzbeks will not bring anything else here. They already carry everything that is prohibited, such as niqabs and hijabs, prayers anywhere, and so on. It's prohibited there. But here for some reason it immediately became possible. There, a beard and niqab are a symbol of Wahhabism, but in Russia they are immediately a cultural heritage.
It is this underground banned “cultural heritage” that must be fought. If, of course, tomorrow we want to walk the streets calmly, and not shy away from packs of jackals in the gateways. And somehow the flock is getting bigger. Surprisingly, it’s a working day, and they are wandering around the city. So, do you have something to live on? And when it’s gone, where will they get it? Rob the Russians? I believe in this option too. Judging by what the head of the Chelyabinsk vilayet is doing, the hour is not far off when a Tajik will tell me what I should do and how to respect him. And his offspring, trained by caring coaches, will help him in this.
Considering that visiting young people, judging by the data of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which knits them in batches in underground clubs, have MMA warriors in their heads, who for the most part are complete Russophobes and Russ-cutters, our bright multinational future will not be so bright. But multinational from the heart. Many nationalities will strangle us with all diligence, I mean that.
Of course, to prevent this from happening (such a mental thing), what is needed? We need more people-friendly films about how good it is for Russian girls to be married to anyone other than Russians (and in no case vice versa), more Lezginka and pilaf, especially in Russian schools, more textbooks rewritten on demand stories.
And hammer, hammer, hammer these quarrelsome Russians, especially in areas where the Russian population is from 80 to 90%, that in fact 100, 110, 120 or more nationalities live there. And everyone lives amicably, and if something happens, it is in no way the fault of respected foreign specialists.
And don’t even think about remembering how these same specialists, not professionally, but very sincerely, killed Russians on their lands of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, carefully ennobled by the Russians at their own expense. And now it’s not those Russophobes, but their descendants here in Russia, who will plant Bukhara and Chimkent with all their might. And individual representatives of the authorities in the regions, under multinational “okay”, will help them in this.
Total
It’s time to start tightening legislation for migrants. For performing religious functions in public places - detain, mercilessly fine, expel. At the same time, of course, it is worth considering the issue of organizing prayer rooms, but let the diasporas rent the premises. Everyone will do something useful. We are not in Saudi Arabia, where there is a mosque on every street, but this can and should be met halfway. At the same time, there will be no obscenity on playgrounds and in passages.
MMA clubs, behind which representatives of the Diaspora organized crime group loom, should be closed, but criminal proceedings will be opened not only against migrants, but also their accomplices from among the Russians. And Russians should be punished for collaborating with illegal immigrants in such a way that everything will fall apart at the seams. So that no one even dares to think about taking money from illegal abu tourers.
We want to live in a decent country, right?
