Question

5 However, we must take into consideration the claims that too many rules actually encourage shady promoters to arrange unsanctioned “no holds barred” matches. Serious injuries would increase. Without a doubt, fans are drawn to the battles. But most fans share an esprit de corps. They are interested in a fair fighting match to determine physical and strategic superiority. The thrill is cheering for the best fighter, the one who can adapt to any style the opponent uses. So, of course, common rules like addressing time limits and weight classes are important areas for continued regulation. This will help keep the fights fair. Select the rebuttal statement that BEST refutes a viewpoint in section five. A) Most fans of the UFC want to witness a fair competition between athletes, and care about proper enforcement of the rules. B) A higher number of serious injuries are likely if unsanctioned matches increase. C) Most fans want to witness the raw and brutal battles of "no holds barred" matches, and don't care about proper enforcement of the rules. D) Continued regulation of all aspects of the competition in the UFC battles will help keep things fair.
