Obviously, boxing is a highly professionalised sport, UFC is not.
I don't think even the future will change the primacy of boxing.
There's something more classy about punching each other than rubbing up on each other.
And I tell you one thing, it takes a lot more skills and athletic excellence to learn how to slip punches and deliver your own shots back etc, than it take to roll around on the ****ing floor!
:lol1:
I'm watching the UFC match tonight. It is extremely corny.
The announcers are screaming. The fighters are screaming. It's just classless.
me and my guys were talking about how much of a bust the event was. the girls fight was the best one and they all ended so damn fast. horrible card overall
MMA is boring as hell to me. Too many fights end up with dudes rolling around on the ground. And because they have to learn so many fighting techniques, they're not very good at any particular one, so for example if you're a boxing fan and watch an MMA guys standup, its unbelievably amateur looking.
Their stand up boxing game is horrible. And when they wrestle it's boring.
whatever dude, its good entertainment. Tate vs. Ronda was a great fight, as was the main event. that 6-7 hapa guy was a beast with those elbows.
better than watching Rigo for 12 rounds, you gotta admit.
No I won't admit that. I enjoy watching Rigondeaux. He makes it out of the 2nd round every time.

Oh sh*t i could have slept well tonight without seeing that sh*t i might have nightmares now.
Man am I glad I did not have to watch that live. Thankiy yooo Lawd Jesuuuuus. I hate the way those guys throw that kick without turning over the hip, making the kicking leg parallel with the ground and aiming for the side of the leg, hip area..... Your asking for it if you try to kick shin on shin.., there is a reason why professional Muy Thai Fighters stop in their late twenties.
I like MMA. I love Boxing.
I don't know why retards think they have to pick a side.
Their are 2 different sports.
I am a FIGHT fan.
I am going to stop reading the rest of this thread at this sensible post. I will add a few things:
Tonight the female fight was spectacular. It had elements of willpower, technique, rivalry, etc.
I actually helped train fighters for MMA and I still am no fan of MMA. But before people shoot off at the mouth consider that generally in MMA judges get the decisions correct, One can afford tickets....
And since when is Dana White such a scumbag? I mean to truly acrue the amount of scum in the bag that King and Arum have....I doubt it! White is a smart guy...he changed his mind about women fighters and just showcased one of the best MMA fights ever, featuring Roussey and Tate....He makes his fighters fight each other unlike the selfish scumbag Arum.....
People should do like the poster i am responding to and stop b1tch1ng like girls about MMA...and believe me, as someone intimately involved I DON'T care for it myself! Proof. I just tuned out of the Silva fight because I don't care.
Oh bad ending.
This does not bode well for the UFC. This is probably the end of Silva's career and the torch wasn't passed in a conclusive manner.
Silva's most likely done. GSP might be done. Oh well, they're lucky they have Rousey.
