And fighting in hockey is justified in my mind because it’s a part of a bigger purpose in terms of the sport and plays a big role
I recall when they had a sole hockey fight competition a couple of year ago, that would be just as ridiculous as MMA

Oh come on now, it's the same damn thing -- two guys trying to give their opponent a concussion. You can dress it up all you want, but MMA and boxing are similar sports and neither one is more noble (or less barbaric) than the other.
And if MMA was really like bar-brawling it wouldn't only be bigger than hockey, it would be bigger than football.
