UFC/MMA is the most unskiled combat I've ever seen.
How do you think a boxer would do against UFC/MMA, I reckon the UFC/MMA guy wouldn't stand a chance. (in a boxing match obviously not a street brawl)
I wanna see a boxer call out a UFC fighter and knock him the Fcuk out.
Let me know which boxer. I'm think carl froch.
It's true, MMA fighters have glass chins. They usually get KOed by the first big punch.
I've seen MMA guys take vicious punches,knees,and kicks to the head and keep on fighting, you also have to remember that there wearing 4oz gloves which don't give them the protection that boxers have.
MMA stand up isn't anywhere near boxings but to be as good as guys like GSP,Machida,Silva , Fedor,Cro Cop etc..it takes alot of work and skill. Calling them bums is plain incorrect.
If you watch two guys fighting on the ground and the first thing that comes to mind is sex, then I think you should question your own sexual orientation.
You people do a disservice to the sport of boxing when you spout off with this dumb shit.
How do we deservice to the sport? That's our opinion.. u dumb b*tch.. Go cry somewhere else.
MMA fighters are glass chinned bums.
MMA= Whoever throw the lucky punch first wins.. GTFO gay ground wrestling
You people do a disservice to the sport of boxing when you spout off with this dumb shit.
Why do ppl think when boxers get taken down they'll be like Ed-209 when he falls?
Everyone knows in a fight, the first thing that comes is the PUNCH...seriously how can a MMA guy get by a boxers jab with an uppercut or right hook waitin to come in if they try to jump at them
you clearly don't know anything about MMA.
as an example of why not to trust the disclosed purse pay that are released to the commision, when Fedor fought Tim Silvia at Affliction, Fedor's disclosed pay was only 300k while Silvia was 800k
I've never heard of a MMA fighter making 1 million dollars for a fight let alone 3.
Could you give some examples?
people confuse the disclosed purse that the UFC and all send to the commision as teh real figures, the PPV cuts and contract money are not disclosed. A few years ago, when Couture was involved in a lawsuit with the UFC over his pay, Dana White posted the actual checks they gave him for his fights and they were all 1+ million.
Brock Lesnar made 3 million dollars in his last fight agaisnt Mir, he made 2.3million for his fight against Couture. Fedor makes 3+million per fight
link to Lesnar making 3mil a fight (this is before sponsorships too)

If the boxer hasn't properly trained to defend the takedown, defend from his guard or check leg kicks than in most cases a skilled MMA fighter will beat him. Not in all cases but in most.
But if a boxer trains and learns to do all those things i mentioned, he can absolutely compete with and destroy top MMA fighters.
Boxers with takedown defence=nightmare for wrestlers
K.J Noons vs Nick Diaz is a perfect example. Cro Cop vs. Mark Coleman also.
Those who say MMA is "lesser" and takes "no skill" obviously have no idea what MMA really is.
Understand this, MIXED Martial Arts, notice the emphasis on MIXED, is the combat sport which combines 3 ways for fighting. Clinch, Striking, and Grappling. So it could be anything like Boxing+Greco Roman Wrestling+ Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or Muay Thai+Judo+Submission Wrestling ect.
Different fighting styles and different skill sets.
Anywho, this thread has been done 10000000000+ times...let's not get into this eh?
Er sorry! Yea it's mixed but it that doesn't make it the sum of the parts, more like the lowest common denominator.
If it was down to skill then there wouldn't be lucky wins. Boxing is down to skill. It is very rare someone gets lucky.
QED
Boxing has been around for over 150 years, UFC since the early/mid ninties. I dont think you can compare them skill wise because of that fact, yet.
MMA has been around since the Greek times, look up PANKRATION
