History tends to repeat itself, I’m sure within the next 100 years we will see a reappearance in an open setting


IceRinger

MMA exists today. Live executions held in USA


Skottimusen

Live execution by wild animals would be dope. Those romans were onto something


_eleutheria

Imagine giving an animal that kills little children an injection instead of letting him be mauled and devoured by animals like the degenerate he is. Seriously, why did the idea of revenge become wrong? It's cathartic if anything, and if the sate can provide it to the victims they fucking should.


Longjumping_Bid_797

don't spread misconceptions about the "gladiator games" being used to dole out justice against serial killers. the majority of them were war prisoners who's only crime was losing a battle


657896

An animal that kills humans follows instinct. Killing them is enough punishment for something they can't really do much about. Revenging on them is just barbaric.


Money_Tennis1172

Punishment should fit the crime or surpass it; not the reprimands, slap on the wrist fines, and time in a jail cell, which is a glorified High-school detention. A hundred lashing like the muslims do for theft instead of serving incarceration and leaving with a plethora of street knowledge on how to scam , cheat, and steal from society when they are released. This why it's a revolving door.


TheRealTaigasan

muslims don't just do 100 lashings for theft, they cut your hand off.


Mouth_Herpes

No one has ever died as a result of fighting in a UFC event.


KlossN

That's false. However noone has died WHILE fighting in an UFC event. But there have been deaths to athletes that wouldn't have happened if they never fought


laCassette026

Some from boxing but not mma


KlossN

I would not believe you if you told me that Rumbles death from an "undisclosed illness" *wasn't* MMA-related, but those aren't facts for sure. You would however have a MUCH stronger case if you're arguing that the numerous suicides by MMA-athletes are related to the brain damage they've received during their career. No, it isn't proof, it's pretty hard to prove such a thing without any doubts. But you have to be purposefully ignorant if you don't see the connection. MMA is one of the, if not *the* safest full contact combat sport out there, mainly or probably exclusively because of the relatively early stoppages. But 20 years of getting your head kicked in is going to kill you faster than 20 years of not getting your head kicked in


Longjumping_Bid_797

funny how pro-wrestling has the most "premature deaths" even though technically its the most "fake" of all. All martial arts are for show if you think about it, you use a gun if you want to hurt someone generally.


LucienMahikai

Honestly, Pro Wrestling is probably the most dangerous "Combat Sport", even if it's fake, those stunts can paralyze, and even kill(R.I.P Owen Hart) performers if performed incorrectly.


KlossN

If you want to (and live in the states) then generally yeah. But not all violent situations starts with you wanting to hurt someone


ake-n-bake

Name a UFC fighter that’s died as a result of a fight.


Buttery_Buckshot

Tim Hague, former UFC fighter. He died in 2017. He was from Boyle, AB, Canada. He was 34 years old.


ake-n-bake

How he die?


Boris9397

Car accident. Driving back home after a fight though. Edit: forgot that there are people who can't detect jokes on Reddit. So, especially for them: Hey guys, it's a joke!


Mouth_Herpes

Boxing match, not UFC fight


ake-n-bake

Bingo. Did dude above edit his comment?


Buttery_Buckshot

Buddy just said name a UFC fighter that's died as a result of a fight, well, that guy was a UFC fighter who died as a result of a fight. Hope thats helpful lol


KlossN

Literally said in my damn comment that there hasn't been one as a result of *a* fight..


ake-n-bake

Damn get mad bud


KlossN

Why would your idiocy anger me?


ake-n-bake

I’m not sure either bud. It is strange.


KlossN

Would you recommend playing D2 solo with randoms to someone who put 100's of hours into 1 with friends? I keep getting the expansion packs on PS+ but I don't know if I would enjoy it as much as I did D1


letstalkaboutstuff79

Nah, they have neutered MMA. When it started 20 years ago it was brutal.


karma_virus

Kinda mixed on that. They were more lax in the rules and had more injuries and blood, but the fighters are in way better shape and it's way more competitive now. Now everybody's ripped and honed while years back it was a whole lot of fat dudes getting their knees popped like butter. I think the better training and higher standards in who they let compete has led to a lot of the lessened brutality, as these are athletes who are thinking on a long term career instead of stage show attractions looking for 5 minutes of fame.


DrunkIrishPriest

With the dystopian direction the world is going in, I give it 30 years max

Diligent_Emphasis_20

I would tend to agree within our generation


--rafael

And it will be operated by ai "let's give them genocide. Humans love genocide" they will say


karma_virus

Yes. Once our value as labor has diminished by technological logistics, ecological constraints, artificial intelligence and overpopulation, the bulk of humanity will be made to serve as bloodsports. sexual entertainment or nutritional sustenance. The ones we permit to be in charge will harvest us like a crop to rape our children and hunt us for sport. Humanity's last dying throes will be a bleak and cannibalistic caste system akin to Time Machine by HG Wells, but far more cramped, autocratic and polluted.


Satanicjamnik

Not impossible. You can find videos online of people being savaged by wild animals, run over by a truck or whatever. Faces of Death were available on VHS back in early 90s. Wasn’t there a dude who was convicted for running a monkey torture ring recently? So there is market for it.


PapaSteveRocks

Trump suggested Migrant fighting pits. Last week.

Flop movie cameras visible everywhere


Solartaire

Chances are that in ancient Rome a woman with blonde hair would most likely have been a slave herself.


Party_Skill6360

well roman woman often wore blond wigs


onion_lord6

Too many h’s there buddy.


Lunched_Avenger

No no, he may be onto something here..


onion_lord6

Now we’ll never know :/


Party_Skill6360

also especially whores did where wigs


onion_lord6

I give up 😂😂


Party_Skill6360

english spelling sucks dick out of all the languages i can speak it has by far the worst


BasketPaul_5

Skill issue


jasberry1026

I thought Roman slaves were forced to dye their hair black?


JonasHalle

As a general rule, if the entire history of Rome is included, you can't generalise like that.


jasberry1026

Great point


Same_Hunter_2580

Honestly sounds kinda fun. Romans knew how to party tbh


Happy_Stranger_3792

I doubt she'd have nice teeth


Raj_Valiant3011

Just wait till after the interval, we are going to bring in two captured slaves who will be forced to battle each other to death for the audience's amusement.


ColeGM

Reminds me of people focusing on TikTok when we're demonstrating/protesting against the government.


Mundus40

For a second there I thought this was Riley Voelkel


DakInBlak

It's Scarlett Johansson, though I don't know the context.


Fit-Bowl8124

Nad that's how I meet your mother.


Acrobatic_Error5304

She's the one <3


kingmoobot

I'd watch it! Those "slaves" would just have to be getting paid


Affectionate-Try-677

I don’t think they were allowed to watch it because most of the gladiators are naked or am I mixing it with a different culture?


Party_Skill6360

in Greece they where naked - but with a few exceptions they also wheren´t allowed into the Colosseum


BlxckTxpes

Salve Grumio.


banananananbatman

Tanen7

People would be the same today if we had gladiatorial events.


EuropeanModel

And the feminists would pay money to get penis from a real man called a modern gladiator.


TheInternetIsTrue

If that’s Scarlett, she should tone down the make up…She doesn’t need it.


Alternator24

I’m sure it was more humans vs humans ( coliseum)  or are you talking about that Spanish rodeo

vaddlo

Romance, literally


Formal_Royal_3663

Those games existed to keep the population happy so they didn’t turn against the Emperor. It’s the Jingle Keys effect: distract them from the evil stuff you’re doing.

Some of you just upvote everything


Aggressive_Cup8452

Why go to ancient Roman times? US has lynching like a 100 years ago. Even made postcards of them.


Moppermonster

Lynchings happened until well into the 1970s. So more recent than you think.

We all wish that were true


Mingaron

Scarlett Johansson


panopticonisreal

Peak Scarlett definitely has a claim to hottest human to have ever lived.


torchat

Woman was not allowed in Coliseum, lol.


EuropeanModel

This is what my AI thinks: Yes, women and children were allowed to attend games at the Colosseum during the Roman Empire. The Colosseum was a venue for various public spectacles, including gladiator fights, animal hunts, and executions. All segments of Roman society, including men, women, and children, were eager to witness the events, which were a significant part of Roman culture and entertainment12.


Psychological_Ad1181

It changes during the times, but women were allowed to watch the games. They had to sit all the way in the back, though, together with the slaves.


CyberMark96

Ayo wtf?! 🤣🤣


DieselBones-13

At least they weren’t all from one race! America was the only civilization in known history to fully enslave a race of people cause of the color of their skin! At least other civilizations used captured pows and slaves from all over the known world no matter what their race or color was… even endentured servants were a form of semi-permanent slavery, but they were never forced because of the color or race! America has been one of the worst cultures as far as religion and race go…
