I can't really explain his phrasing, but I know UFC 1 was the ultimate advertisement for BJJ and the Gracie family is pretty awful, super pro-cop, and Renzo likes Bolsanaro. MMA isn't exactly where you find a bunch of comrades
The gracie family are famous practitioners of BJJ and BJJ is the best on the ground martial art and since most fights go to the ground the gracies become renown from that. Not everything is a right wing conspiracy.
Also, in general you won't find "comrades" in most places. Singling out MMA just sounds like typical anti-sports a.k.a. anti-working class hobbies rhetoric.
That's fair, I didn't intend to single out MMA. I practice it myself and wish there were more lefties around. I suppose I could have said the same thing about a lot of sports and activities with that framing. I get along with "a wide variety" of political viewpoints about BLM, the coronavirus, etc. there and it can be frustrating
