Awful. Truly horrendous. I had read about her assault and knew he was MRA, but I didn't realize how pervasive those attitudes were in the sport. This passage is especially chilling:

UFC veteran Josh Grispi was arrested for assault and battery of his wife, who reportedly suffered a broken wrist and concussion. What’s more, he allegedly trained his pit bull to maul his wife and sent text messages telling her she’s a “whore” whom he’s “goin enjoy choking to death.” This was reportedly followed up by the text, “I don’t joke ur dead when I see u… Literally. I don’t care I’m going to beat u n throw u to buddy [his pit bull], Ur dead.”
