Is Hasbulla Magomedov vs Abdu Rozik unethical?

A huge segment of MMA fans have been eagerly awaiting the upcoming MMA bout between the two internet personalities. However, Russia’s Dwarf Athletic Commission criticized social media interests and fanfare surrounding the upcoming fight between Hasbulla Magomedov and Abdu Rozik.

Speaking to Russian media outlet Gazeta.ru, Ulyana Podpalnaya, the head of the Russian Dwarf Athletic Association, said:

"It's not even like a show fight – they get paid a lot of money and it’s a show to make people laugh. There’s nothing serious about this, this isn’t sport. This is unethical, wrong, from my point of view. It seems to me that only on the one hand it can be correct and beautiful – if martial arts among small people are made a Paralympic sport. It could be judo, karate, and people will understand that this is a serious sport, serious performances, and not some kind of laughing show."

"Events like this don’t draw attention to the sport of little people. If interest in this appears, it’s only because a lot of money is being invested in it. And from the point of view of the sports career growth of these guys, there are no prospects," Podpalnaya added.
