So are UFC fighters the modern vigilante for our society?

I personally would argue yes, and I would also argue that that is objectively a very good thing for our culture.

But of course, millions of people around the world still see them and their supporters as being harmful and toxic.

Now if you remember, last week I did an episode about Dana White talking about masculinity and mental health in his Time magazine profile.

And in that same article, he talks about this toxic masculinity.

And he says, what is toxic masculinity?

Who has it? Who's too masculine?

The author then suggested that when this attitude begets unjustified violence, then you can call it toxic, no.

And then Dana White responded and said, then you're just a douchebag.

There's a difference between being a douchebag and being masculine. Now, on a frontier flight on Sunday evening, the difference

between being a douchebag and being a masculine man was very obviously on display. And this also

points to a broader trend of MMA and UFC fighters stepping in when the world needed them.

On this frontier flight that was going from Miami to Puerto Rico on

Sunday night, a 50-year-old man named Juan Reyes, hopefully I'm saying his last name correctly,

started freaking out. Now, according to this report from Fox News, the police said that this man

allegedly attempted to open the aircrafts to exit doors in mid-air before he assaulted another

passenger on the flight. A flight attendant also told authorities that they heard him say that he wanted to get off the plane. Following multiple alleged attempts to open the flight deck door, they said that he sat down in a seat that was not assigned to him and attacked a 33-year-old off-duty flight attendant who was seated nearby. According to court documents, witnesses told police that rays lunged at the flight attendant, grabbed him by the head, and choked him, which prompted passengers and another flight attendant to restrain rays with flex cuffs and seatbelt extenders. Before we dive into the masculine part of the story, I just do have to ask, like, was this man originally booked on a Spirit Airlines flight before they shut down? Because this does feel like Spirit Airlines behavior. Now, okay, all jokes aside, I do have to come clean here. Two of the best flights that Alex and I have taken over the last two years were on Spirit. The cleanest, the nicest, happiest people. Easiest travel day from point A to point B. No delays. Maybe I should shut my trap about Spirit Airlines and start grieving. And I do also have to say that I've never flown on Frontier because it seems like it has even worse of a reputation. So maybe this is all just par for the course on a frontier flight.

Anyway, back to the point.

This is where our story gets more interesting and exciting for the ladies out there.

The article goes on and says,

Rays allegedly broke free from the restraints multiple times until a passenger stepped in to contain him.

Video of the confrontation showed passengers working to restrain him.
