Misconceptions

What misconceptions do people have about your topic?

People sometimes assume that people who participate in combat sports are violent people. While it is true that some fighters have gotten in trouble for violent behavior (such as the recent incident in which Conor McGregor hit an old man), my own belief is that combat sports can provide a healthy outlet for aggressive tendencies and do not cause violent behavior. I would be interested in investigating this further.
