    no, they basically took what Bruce Lee said and made it happen, Bruce Lee said that no one fighting style is the right style, winning the fight is the right style, free form and free flowing, be like water and go with the flow, fit, mold, shape, and bend like water because anything can happen in a street fight. that's Jeet Kun Do................

    and as far as YOU SEEING no finesse or style, and YOU SEEING a little of this in that from other styles, further lets me know that you don't know what you're looking at and don't know what you're talking about.

    judo and ju jitstu are very graceful fighting styles/systems, it's when other fighting styles are mixed in with it makes it look unappealing(to you), but that's the point, use whatever style you can to WIN, hence the name Mixed Martial Arts......................

    and to say that they haven't mastered anything is completely ******ed, because what they have mastered is seeing openings and applying different techniques other than a straight forward stand up fight. they've mastered take downs, submissions, throws, clinch fighting(muay thai), and all sorts of wrestling, they might not have mastered each one completely through and through but they've mastered specific and extremely effective techniques to win fights and have learned more than just boxing.

    like i said, boxing is my love and always will be be the fact of the matter is it doesn't have as much depth and heads up a boxer would lose to a MMA fighter in a real life fight.

      Get paid the same to get hit in the body and face or get paid the same to dry hump and wrestle another man... I think I would rather get paid to box then to MMA.. Plus if you get big you will make way more than any UFC fighter and not have to get kicked. BOXING> MMA

        Floyed tells the camera man who is wearing a UFC T-shirt that boxing is a art and the UFC is a fad. Just want to get some boxing fans opinion on this.

        In my opinion, Floyed comes off sounding like a idiot. Considering that MMA uses discplines like judo, BJJ, Muay Thai that have been around for many many years. I say that Floyd stops calling himself a figher and calls himself a boxer. Cause thats what he is and in a real fight he wouldnt last a minute with MMA fighter (fighter being the key word)
        You're lucky my boy Knives is cool with you..

        MMA is still proving itself.

        Let's not give the American fans out there too much credit.

        Everything is a ****ing fad - is it not?

            This is what he said in an Interview-->> LOL
            MMA. What do you think of that sport?
            They're murdering boxing. They have the heavyweights and they're giving people what they want to see - which is blood and knockouts. And basically, that is what a fight fan is there for. People can say: ‘No, I'm here for the science of boxing and the pugilistic value of the sport.' That's bull****! People want to see knockouts, and our current heavyweights just aren't doing it. We need another Tyson, Foreman, Frazier or an Ali right about now. We need guys who aren't afraid to get hit. We need guys that have some heart behind their jab - a jab that's there only to protect their chin.

              mma in general is ok, not my cup of tea, but it is ok

              on the other hand ufc sucks, it's kinda like the wwe of mma

              so if mayweather said ufc sucks, i agree with him.

                UFC just reflects the society we live in today. In the olden days it wasnt cool to hit someone when they were down. Today men fight likes bitches and UFC reflects this.
                Great, great ****en post!

                  That's just anyone's opinion. Anyone can have one. For instance I don't like UFC either.

                    Personally, I'm not a fan of any sport where two men wear speedos and put each other in awkward positions.
