How would you feel if your husband wanted to do cage fighting?
My husband wrestled in high school and did VERY well. He also is in the military and won fixed combat fighting, and has entered and advanced in local fight clubs. Anyway, he wants to enter MMA (mixed martial arts) cage fighting in our city when he gets back from his deployment. While I’m proud of his achievements and that he has a hobby he loves so much I really don’t want him to do this. Is it wrong for me to tell him not to do it or should I let him have his fun?

You need to find a way to both express your support and be honest that this isn’t your favorite hobby of his… I’m guessing you’ll need to work in the "safety" angle…

I think you should l et him do it. If he feels confident enough to even suggest it he probably feels he will do well. If you tell him not to do it he may resent you for it. My husband took up powerlifting about a year ago. I dont understand the sport and personally think it stupid to try to lift over 500 lbs but he loves it so I go with it. The bright side is your husband could get int he cage do one fight and decide that he doesnt enjoy it like he thought that he would.

Interesting hobby… I don’t think you can stop them, but you can tell them how you feel, and your fears. I would hope he would keep it light, because head injuries in any kind of these sports are serious, but not seen. A person who gets too many head blows becomes a different person. Often more violent, often less caring. He may becoming a monster and doesn’t even know it.

I have heard of the same thing with people in car accidents. They take a severe blow to the brain, walk away from the wreck a different person who is unable to love, or not have the same thing as before. No one notices immediately because the damage is not seen, but it’s there.

When your husband returns from his deployment, I would have a sit down and express your honest opinion and feelings to him about this.

It really depends on your husband’s skills relative to everyone else’s and of course, the severity of this cage fighting match. What are the rules of this cage fight? Is it essentially a fight to the death, or just sparring? In the end, as his wife, you will be concerned with things he does. But most likely, he will know his limits and quit when he is in true danger of getting hurt.

My husband has none of the qualifications that your husband does and he also wants to enter the mma. I am totally against it as well and I feel it should be a joint decision.

I would ask him not to engage in it right away. It might be something he thinks he wants to do in the heat of testosterone after being in a war zone. Let him cool his heels for a year first before starting in on this kind of sport that could do permanent damage to him or to his opponent.

I would not be happy if my husband wanted to do cage fighting.

i did it for 5 years after the gulf war myself. did very well for myself and enjoyed the aspect of it all. take it from me though… this is not a "hobby" by any means.

you should support him or find someone else. that’s the blunt truth

is this the only way he can prove his obviously lacking manhood if he needs to do that kind of "hobby"….he is already in the military and thats a macho thing, but now cage fighting? i’d feel sorry for him and laugh.

Support him. If this is something that he loves to do , don’t take it away from him, all he will do is resent you for it.

I love cage fighting, UFC, MMA, ect!

I wish my husband wasn’t such a big pu**y, because I think it would be cool to go to his fights with him.

Good luck

my guess is that there are things you do that he doesn’t like. But he realizes you enjoy it and he probably doesn’t say much.

By what you are saying here I would also guess that he is fully qualified and is aware of the risks involved.

Does the military know of his sideline activities? If he gets hurt and is unable to preform his military job, this could have an adverse affect on his career. Make sure that he has authorization in writing and then let him do his thing.
