What’s entertaining about two men beating each other up?

What's entertaining about a bunch of guys trying to take or kick an egg-shaped object all the way to a tuning fork? I don't get it. What's entertaining about watching a guy sing the same song you have at home, only he sings it worse in a place with crap acoustics and you pay 4-5x the price of the pristine version at home? I don't get it. What's entertaining about watching a family of evil people attacking another family of evil people? I don't get it.
 
Why do people eat peas? I don't get it?
How does .99999 = 1? I don't get it.
Why isn't every answer in statistics, 50/50. I mean it will or it won't. I don't get it.
 
Combat sports are the best example of all that makes humans great. They show intelligence, tactics, will power and desire. They show the peak of human physical conditioning and training.

They are not battles of thugs, but men of equal skill that are really battling with strategy and will. Testing the peaks of mental and physical toughness while pushing their desire to achieve to a maximum level. While a good chess match might test the mental strength of the combatants, combat sports take that same depth of strategy and tactics into the physical realm. Learning to use your body to peak efficiency while at the same time working to develop and implement tactics that allow you to work the best in an a established rule system is very awe inspiring.

People watch for many reasons. Some for what I've listed above, some to watch violence and fill that need for danger, some for hero/villain worship, and some just to have an excuse to go to the bar.
 
If only. I watched UFC exactly once, and 99% of the fight was just two guys circling around each other touching hands. There was no beating up in sight.

So you didn't see when they are both on the ground and one guy is one top of the other guy and the top guy is working his ground and pound on the bottom guy?
