The motherfu.cker getting knocked down is backing straight back up with his hands down.. how to defend and evade punches properly are the basics of boxing, these mma chumps wouldn't have a clue.. It's easy to KO fighters who move straight back with their hands down..
The third clip shows why he was KO'd/dropped.. He was throwing wide, careless punches, You are supposed to throw your punches from the jaw and keep a tight defense.. easy to counter and stop fighters like these inferior mma 'strikers'
MMA as a sport existed from ancient greece, in sport known as pankracion (which was a mix of boxing and wrestling).
Modern MMA started in 1989. in Japan, with Shooto organization, but MMA fights were held from 1930's i think, in Brazil, probably even before that, with Gracie family. And even in 19th century there were some mixed fights.
So MMA as a sport is a lot older than UFC, but off-course you people heard only about UFC, 90% of you probably don't have idea what Pride FC was, or what Shooto is, or Pancrase, not to mention Vale Tudo Japan.
It's two sports, two different fanbases - no need to compare. Apples and oranges.
great post.
I have watched a few ufc fights and i'm not really impressed, when the so called 'strikers' throw their punches, they throw them very widely and they don't keep their hands on their chins.. You can't get away with that at top level boxing, you will be stopped real quick!
And whilst there may be some skill in securing the actual submission, the 3 minutes prior to getting the submission consists of 2 sweaty, grown men rolling around in weird positions is borderline gay shit.
The ground and pound is skill-less and class-less, i don't see any skill in getting on top of a man :/ and punching him whilst he is down and unable to defend or attack back.. Anybody can do that.
Lastly, there is some annoying, pussy voiced ufc commentator who is always attacking boxing, any ufc fight i have watched, he has always attacked boxing.

I dont care if you're a boxing fan, football fan, bukaki fan, if you don't appreciate Anderson Silva, you're not a fan of sports. Period. The man has unbelievable talent, I believe he will be remembered 50 years from now as the GOAT.

100% true all boxing videos on youtube are filled with "MMA better" etc, boxing fans don't give a shit enough about MMA videos to watch them and do the same.
Odd balls.

Pankration mother****er, have you heard of it? The Romans used to do that shit thousands of years ago.
-Any Bum can walk in to MMA or UFC and become HeavyWeight Champ etc after 3 or 4 fights.....boxing you gotta have atleast over 20 odd fights to become a world champ
Name one? Brock Lesnar became HW champ after like 3 fight lol, but he is hardly a bum, he was the NCAA Division I CHAMPION 2 times, and got 2nd place once. Wreslting is a HUGE part of MMA
-MMA, UFC is a gay porno as said by Bernard Hopkins....Boxing Is Not
Grappling is sort of like gay porno, I agree. google search "gay mma" and look at this first pic, LOL

I'd say Anderson Silva might be a GOAT, maybe GSP and BJ Penn as well.
^ This is true, though I know a lot of people who watch and support both fans. If you've ever been to a big fight in boxing, the crowd is mostly old fogies.
That's one of the reasons why the UFC is so popular now is because they found a way to appeal to the younger audience. The UFC completely dominates the 18-32 year old male demographic.
Boxing has failed to do this for the most part, and this is a demographic that they absolutely need.
I guarantee if HBO doesn't take a stronger stance and start making the fights people want to see happen, UFC will take over boxing within the next decade.
How does MMA take over boxing WHEN THEY HAVE TWO COMPLETELY SEPERATE FANBASES?

i Rest My Case :)
It's funny because you a boxing fan sound just as stupid as the MMA fanboys who also make up some fairytale compatition between MMA and Boxing.
The truth is neither is better simply because they are two completely diffrent sports that have nothing to do with each other. Just like the NFL has nothing to do with the NBA or MLB.
I rest my case.
i can't see UFC having huge PPV numbers if they don't get more superstars. they haven't had a good card in awhile. i don't really care for spending 50 bucks on watching Tito Ortiz or Chuck Lidell get beat. i don't want to see ex-champions in the ring, and i don't care for watching dudes lay on the ground for too long. hopefully the UFC can change up the rules where the ref can stand them up after a min or so if nothing seems to be happening, it's really a waste of time (especially since this is a sport where knockouts and submissions need to happen). i like a good fight but unlike boxing where i enjoy a fight going the distance, in MMA it seems like a letdown (unless ofcourse both guys are kicking the shit out of eachother)

Sadly.....yes you are true....if Mayweather Vs Pac Happens that will get Loads of Money and Views
