But if we're serious about getting fighting out of hockey - surely we need to get serious about banning UFC. In my mind, it's 10x worse.

As a society? Sure. The NHL? No.
I don’t watch it either, not my thing.
If we’re being honest, of course it’s a bigger issue than fighting in the NHL. Regardless of what they say about training, etc. All combat sports where hits to the head are a legitimate strategy seem completely absurd to me.
But at the same time, I don’t think it’s relevant to fighting in hockey. We can acknowledge it’s a bigger problem, but it shouldn’t preclude anyone from addressing the problem at hand or be used as a counter point to anything. It’s like responding to “my kids are hungry” with “people are starving around the world.” I mean yes, that is true, but I don’t expect mom not to feed her kids until she’s solved world hunger.
