Do you find it odd that fighters bring their kids to fights?

Maybe after the first time they see their father get a brutal beatdown. But if they see that their father is alright even though his face looks like hamburger meat, then it won't be a huge deal anymore.
It still won't be pleasant to see their father like that but once they realize he's relatively safe considering the rules and the referee, they know things will be fine.
Now learning Steve Mazzagatti is ref'ing your father's fight will probably give a child nightmares.

Everyone has this idea of how to properly raise a child, what's right and what's wrong, and it's so different and there is no right or wrong way, really, as long as you teach and explain things to them.
I don't think a parent should be ashamed of or try to hide what they do from their kids. Especially high level MMA. Sure it's violent, but there's also a great deal of depth to the sport, discipline, hard work.
I know I watched wrestling when I was real young. What's the difference between pretending to hit each other and actually hitting each other, as perceived by a child?
I will say, when The Chris has his whole family there, that does seem distracting. It's not wrong tho. If that's what he wants and he's comfortable with it, then that's fine.

Mark Coleman started the trend when Fedor kicked his ass and brought his kids in the ring to meet Fedor. It was sad to see Kimbo's kid crying after Seth KO'd him.

I find it very weird.
Unless I was the baddest man on the planet, and victory was a sure thing, I wouldn't want my kids seeing me get whooped or beat up.
