Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Also "professional fighting" when talking about points games for money sounds like a joke. They're athletes competing, not fighting

Or actors, if we're talking about the largest and most well known "leagues" or whatever they're called

This is a kind of pedantic take... Yes, they're professionals competing in combat sports, the sole purpose of which is to fight in a controlled environment, so that you can determine a winner with as few deaths and grievous injuries as possible.

If we're talking about MMA, then it's literally a combat sport that was designed with the intent of settling the discussion of "which martial artist would win in a fight", hence why pretty much all techniques are permitted (of course there are exceptions if you want to nitpick).

You can't look at a sport where people are intentionally knocked/choked unconscious or have bones broken by opponents and say "they're not fighting because there's points and they get paid". Professional combat sports is the closest we'll get to modern gladiators.
