Ok just checked out some MMA/UFC fight, why the hell is that crap compared to boxing?

sometimes theres even 3 champions fighting on the same night under different class. u will never see this in boxing. in boxing only the main event is worth watching. when people buy ppv for boxing its for the main event. what!!??? im from the UK and i cant think of many people who havent heard of it? do you live on the Isle of Man or something? its 2011 for christ sake, knowledge through technology is at your finger tips, did you carve your post on a stone tablet? did you watch the MMA on a black n white TV but in the main, i agree with what you say There used to be 3 title fights in one night in boxing too. Eventually guys in the ufc will realise Dana is raping them and go it alone and you'll see the same things happen that happened to boxing. Only once UFC dies mma will be a niche sport again.

As a UK fan I don’t get much exposure to this "sport" so I thought with a lot of people talking about it over in Amercia I would check some highlights and a few fights out on youtube. After about 5 fights and some submission highlights plus I saw a fight in walkabout I have come to the conclusion that its simply dreadful. I mean I just can’t believe that anyone would even consider that to be better to watch than boxing. The submission are comical the punching technique was a total joke the kicks made the guys look like a bunch of girls (at one point I burst out laughing). People moan about the holding in boxing but it seemed even worse in the MMA fights I watched but I suppose that’s the point. This is no offence to guys that like MMA but I just don’t see what you see in it, I am unsure why with the long history and tradition of quality boxing in America that the country would even consider dumping it for that trash stuff. what!!??? im from the UK and i cant think of many people who havent heard of it? do you live on the Isle of Man or something? its 2011 for christ sake, knowledge through technology is at your finger tips, did you carve your post on a stone tablet? did you watch the MMA on a black n white TV but in the main, i agree with what you say

Speaking of Cain, I just got word from a good source that the main event of the Fox Show will be Cain Velasquez vs. Junior Dos Santos for the Undisputed Heavyweight title. That IS HUGE. So you guys get to see Cain vs. JDS on Fox and right after see Pacquiao-Marquez 3. If you guys aren't fans of MMA trust me, watch the main event. It's the biggest HW fight in the last 6 years. The 2 best HWs, the 2 most dominate HWs going at it. You guys are lucky, while I have to sit through a shitty Top Rank undercard you guys get to watch an amazing fight. Unless of course you're not fight fans and would rather sit through a Top Rank undercard... Word. Cain/Junior is going to be a sluggers duel.

Here is some credit: Freddie Roach said Anderson Silva is good. I remember Roach saying that he thought Anderson was always a bit lazy in training but seemed to be one of those guys that turned it on when it mattered. Something along those lines anyway. Its scary to think he is as good as he is if he doesn't even try that hard in training. But he could have just been slacking off at Roaches gym lol

oh no u did int! Superior fighters as a whole. I didn't say superior boxers lol

I like how this thread turned from one guy voicing his opinion to a bunch of guys taking the chance to rip on MMA. Wow, so surprising... At the end of the day, eh, if ya don't like it it's cool. But if guys like BHop and Haye are sitting there giving credit to the sport and its athletes, then that should say something about the sport. Alot of people gave credit including myself...then came the UFC fan boys. :lol1:

well hes not far off now is he..genius So what? I'm guessing you're also one of those guys who thought the WWF was gonna be a premier "sport" when they had that deal with Fox/Fox Sports didn't ya? :lol1: It's a PPV business. It'll never be as big as the NFL or MLB. Get it through your head.

On that note, Nov 12 should be a wonderful day for fans of both mmgay and boxing. UFC on fox followed by Pacquiao vs Marquez 3. Fans are in for a treat. A big difference between UFC and "Boxing" is that Dana White to an extent doesn't care who wins or loses, he gets big dollars either way whereas Old Bob is a greedy pig who carefully milks loyal Top Rank fans for all their worth and robs them of anticipated matches like JuanMa/Gambo this is what i dont get, guy's like 103 years old and worth $200 million why the **** does he care about money at this point rather than putting on the best fights he can, while he's still around

well hes not far off now is he..genius I wish boxing was on fox too :(

You are a fucking moron for comparing the UFC to the NFL or MLB. That is one of the stupidest things I ever heard. You and Indolfer make MMA fans look bad. REAL BAD. The sad part is you guys represent the majority. well hes not far off now is he..genius

because mma fans don't sh*t about sport. they just follow it, because 6pack of Budweiser + some dude named Kimbo Slice is hell of a fight man. honestly, dumb ass people who dont know nothing abotu sport and want to get respect and attention as boxing does. but every time they stick their nose into boxing, they become laughing stock.

2 different sports, apples and oranges... you don't have to pick a side, u can enjoy both On that note, Nov 12 should be a wonderful day for fans of both mmgay and boxing.

Come on man comparing ufc to the NFL,MLB,NBA and NHL is ludacris.

The only people who compare boxing to MMA are drooling fuking mongoloids. It's like comparing basketball to baseball. And the sport is far from a fad, fox just dumped hundreds of millions of dollars into the UFC and on Nov 12th the UFC HW title will be defended on primetime newtwork TV. If the UFC is a fad then so is the NFL and Major League Baseball. You are a fucking moron for comparing the UFC to the NFL or MLB. That is one of the stupidest things I ever heard.

Then MMA will go back to japan where half the fights will be works like they were in pride fc
