What UFC fighter Anderson Silva (the clown) did in the octagon last Saturday night was an insult to fans. Clowning during a fight should not be tolerated, simply because it will always affect the outcome of any fight.
Any future clowning should be punished by a fine, suspension or worse. And any future clown should find another sport where good sportsmanship is not required.
While all fighters use feigning and other psychological tactics, UFC judges should know when a fighter has gone too far.
Dana White should not permit clowning as a tactic in the UFC.
