Tournaments go with MMA like peanut butter and jelly from the first few years of the UFC to PRIDE's famous grand prixes among others.

We'll take a look at the participants and where they stand going into this, what they have to gain and lose.

If Simmons and Connery represent Toxic Masculinity then men should not want to be clean.
