Ring Rang Rung Wrong

I met UFC and she courted me.
She made me wanna hit!
But I stood back from the ring,
Not battered, but better I became.

It's no life worth livin' to get 
your bell rang.

Or worse, to punch a good man
to his death,

Just to get the gawkers to 
sing your song!

And move up the rung
to where you think you belong.

The escalation seems so wrong.
