Negotiating violence : mixed martial arts as a spectacle and sport
Drawing on qualitative interviews with Mixed martial arts (MMA) athletes and stakeholders, this study aims to investigate the relationship between, on the one hand, MMA as a spectacle and imaginary world, and on the other, the fightersâ experiences of violence, pain and âthe realâ. Analytically, we are influenced by the literature on the spectacle and on hyperreality. The results show that athletesâ negotiations concerning the sport largely connect to a particular way of approaching violence â culturally and in terms of physical experience. On the one hand, there is a desire to portray MMA as a civilized and regulated sport. The athletes develop different strategies by which to handle or renegotiate the physical force and violence in the cage. On the other hand, however, the fightersâ bodily control and management of their fear sometimes breaks down. When the spectacle of the octagon becomes ârealâ, the legitimacy of the sport is questioned
