UFC no skill involved

[GreatestIam]

After watching last nights great action but skilless UFC 71, id like to say im kinda apalude by the backerz of UFC who even try to compare it to boxing. The UFC is nothing more then like many have said before me, human cockfighting, where basically two athlethese men or women fight til 1 is KOed or sumbitted and besides the submission aspect of the sport many fighters drop like flys by the rounds, minutes and as in more then 1 instant yesterday the second! And as entertaing as it can be it really lacks the skill, creativity and overall ora of a genuine boxing match, many fighters though called masters look like nothing more then clueless children throwing punches on there feet, while some make the KOs they administer look brillant, there seems to be more raw aggression associated with it rather then skill! The submissions are great but who wants to see grown men tapping out, other then from a Kurt Angel ankle lock! And also many fights are prematurely stopped and dont live up to there potential becuz of the immediate impact of some shots that knock fighters down but rather then counting fighters out or giving standing 8s, fighter are immediatley jumped on and if hit enough stopped when in many instances they are still able to defend themselves!

Now watch a classic Boxing brawl and the action is timeless and alot of times lasts more then 48 seconds! Now im not tryin to knock the UFC becuz i was and still am intrigued like many others, **** i paid 39.95 for what id liek to think of as a great action packed evening, but was disappointed on the lackluster length of action many fights where! and dont think any 5 min 3-5 round fight, can be better then say a 10 or 12 round fight where you have to stay on your feet!
Now im about a 100% sure any of are top boxer could take on and beat any UFC fighter as many of them try to stand up and box (strike) themselves and look horrid at it! Din Thomas vs Floyd Mayweather Floyd would paralaze the dude!

One thing i noticed is UFC fighters get VERY tired in the first round,they gas out too quik

[Super Cartel]

They get tired and drop to the floor for an hour hugging and holding
Like watching John ruiz and ricky hatton fight on the floor..

I agree the main event didn't apparently display much technique but it was there. Once your more familiar with MMA submissions and techniques you'll have a much greater appreciation for there skill.

Some fights to check out for skill:
Cro-Cop vs Vanderlei Silva
Parisyan vs Diego Sanchez
Cro-Cop vs Gonzaga
Sakuraba vs Renzo Gracie
Rampage Jackson vs Aurora

yeah i almost puked watching how crude that chris leben guy was.... wasted all his energy in the 1st round with nothing but ineffective aggression and wide winging punches.... and then he has the nerve to grab the mic and say

"screw the judges, screw everything, i won the fight, what do the people think??"

and he got booed, lol

he had only himself to blame, if he fought smart hed have won easily cause the other guy wasnt gonna take it to him.

its not that they have no skill....
its that most are grapplers, but fight on their feet anyway.

and us boxing fans accustomed to the high boxing skill levels see two grapplers trying to box, and think wow, these guys suck ass. Also they do stall a lot on the ground.
MMA is one of those sports that have impressive finishes or moments, but for big portions of time nothing major happens.

It depends on the fights though...!

it's funny to me when i hear some boxers claiming mma fighters have no skill. If that is the case, why dont the boxers prove their skills by fighting the mma fighter in an mma match ? chances are they will be embarrassed and shown how their so-called elite boxing skill is not enough to beat an elite mma fighter. there's no doubt that they have better striking skill as that is the only they train for but that is wayyy too 1-dimension to be able to compete in mma. there are alot more than just striking when it comes to fighting. Hopkins, Mayweather, Taylor... will all get owned in mma. fact!

who cares, ALL mma fighters get owned in mma, other than Fedor! FACT
and most all mma fighters would get owned by the lowest journeyman in boxing, also fact. so whats your point?

and mma fighters would lose against a top notch weapon-using fighter...thats means theyre inferior some mma fans need to wake up and realize that mma does not=a real street fight.

haha not really about 80% or more of MMA guys try to stand on there feet what makes you think theyll change with B_hop in front of them, if chuck can KO MMA fighters like he does why couldn't B_hop, im pretty sure B_hop can sprawl and he already keeps his hands up to block punches why couldnt he block a kick and KO 1 of the bastards right quick! MMA is nothing more then fighting im sure B_hop can lock up and slam motha****as too, and would have 1 hell of a standup game plus know how to kick back and ground and pound motha****as
