I quickly becoming a huge fan of UFC by far more exciting than boxing . You got it all knock out artist like Chuck Lindell. Submission gurus like Jermy Horn. Weight classes not seperated by 4lbs and can you imagine Tyson punching you with a 4 ounce glove? You're *ucked brother eating thru a feeding tube for the rest of your days.
Personally I find UFC to be rather boring the majority of the time..it usually devolves to a wrestling match which is really dull to watch...I have watched K1 and a little kickboxing and would prefer that to UFC...haven't caught any Pride stuff so far..one side note is that the UFC reality show is great even though the matches at the end can be boring but overall the show has the intensity that both boxing shows have lacked so far...plus, most of the guys on the show (at least last season) seem just a wee bit crazy which makes the show more entertaining
boxing for me. half-naked men dry humping eachother doesn't get my blood pumping like a toe to toe heavyweight slugfest or any boxing fight for that matter.
prefer pride to ufc. and saku's getting too old to keep fighting w/ all those injuries, so i probably won't even keep track of it a bit anymore. just liked watching sakuraba punk the gods of bjj. not one, but the whole family LOL!
for me, its all about whos fighting.
id much rather watch ufc than friday night fights for example. however, if im going to buy a ppv, its boxing all the way.
id rather see floyd v hatton than any ufc fight
UFC sucks, Boxing. I originally was more of a boxing fan than the UFC, but the UFC is growing like crazy while boxing is staying stagnant. There have been some very good fights in UFC. Trigg vs Hughes II & Bonnar vs Griffin are two of the better fights you will see whether you watch boxing or UFC. Now it seems like the tide is starting to turn UFC on Spike is getting better ratings than FNF or TNF. More celebrities are getting involved by going to UFC matches. Don't get me wrong there is nothing in sports better than a Castillo vs Corrales or a Holyfield vs Bowe boxing match but UFC is far from sucking. While UFC is showing good fights on free TV & there "big cards" are a reasonable 29.95 Don King & other crooks are charging over 40$ for shitty fights like Barrett vs Rahman and Mercer vs Briggs. UFC might not be a better sport than boxing but the sport is ran far better than boxing. Boxing is to cutthroat & crooked while UFC just wants to put the best fights together & please the fans.
I gonna have to call bullshit. If you think these guys are more skilled than boxers you are smoking some serious crack. If they were skilled they would be boxing making the big bucks.
LOL!!! watch a Cro cop fight watch a Fedor fight Arona,Silva, Nog and tell me they arent skilled.
and why dont MMA fighters do boxing well they dont want to end up Punch Drunk Fucktards who can barely speak like most Boxers.
Boxing was a gentleman's sport and still is. And boxing has a glorious list of legendz to live up to. For me, I'd say I love both MMA and Boxing, however, boxing is very exciting, it stays standup, and has much more potential for an exciting KO. UFC has a lot of grappling which is an art of its own, but for true thrill value, nothing beats a "great fight" in the Ring of Legends.
to an amateur boxing fan who watches a 'slow paced' fight they see it as boring...to the person who truly understands boxing he sees little nuances like strategy, distance, etc.....to a person who doesn't know mma all they see is two guys rolling on the ground...to the experienced person they see a lot of strategy involving positioning onesself for the 'kill move'.
plainly stated...'you can't appreciate a french movie if you don't know french'
first of all.. ufc sucks. pride is way better in terms of mma. i think stand up fighting is more exciting than grappling since a lot of grapplers suck. when you get two skilled grapplers that's when it gets interesting. a lot (not all) of mma grapplers aren't even that flexible; stretch once in a while dammit. they just lay on the ground. i like pride because the fighters are more skilled than ufc, it's a bigger event, and they restart the fighters in the center of the ring when the action is stalled. overall, i think boxing is more exciting than mma because stand up fighting is more exciting.
MMA fighters, Kickboxers, Muay Thai Fighters are all more rounded then fucking Boxers the closest thing you can get to a real fight is MMA It Incorperates more.
About money yeah they dont make as much state side go to Japan and see how big it is they average 30,000 people in the stands then additional cash from Sponsers and besides how long has MMA been around?? since the Late 80's while on the other hand Boxing has been established for years now.
and finally Jens was a wrestler first and foremost he didnt fair well in Boxing because he never focused Solely on Boxing he tried different things and Rounded his game and thats why hes a good MMA fighter...Jackass

only people who couldnt hack it in the boxing ring decided to do the ufc shit. why else would you choose a sport that makes much less money in the end? jens pulver for example. once a boxer, he got punked, now hes a ufc god.

maybe because most are martial artist and would like to practice martial art.
i've been in the game since i was 4 and have been on both sides of the spectrum. watching gives no justice as to how brutal and technical you have to be to do mma competitions. i love it when boxers come and challenge mma guys then find out that they can't punch when they get tackled on the ground...or start putting their gaurd down after getting leg kicked a bunch of times on the thigh.
boxings great but you got to appreciate te whole 'game' brotha...
