The appeal of UFC

[NiGe2011]

I don't give a damn who you are. You said I was talking out of my ass concerning MMA and your wrong. I asked for your experience in MMA or your experience with its fans.

"Listen here 1bad.. I could step into that octagon if I cared to." I could try and pick up Jessica Simpson, doesn't mean I would be successful at it. "non-exception theorem"??? Do what? I simply was pointing out I would rather be injured than dead. IMO, MMA is safer than boxing, and I take it personally when I'm talked down to as you did to me. Disagree all you want, but if you want respect, you better treat others with it.

Dude is right, MMA is worlds safer then boxing on a long timeline. Boxers get straight up maimed in shocking and unacceptable numbers. This is not as true for MMA. Does this mean I like MMA more? No. Would I like it more even if it WAS more dangerous to peoples lives? Hell ****ing no! I like boxing IN SPITE of the danger it inherently puts on its participants, NOT because of it.

Dye, tell this mother****er what my "experience" is.

(One of the youngest and wildest cat's here is actually the gatekeeper..)



.......Matter a fact - anyone who knows; please drop what has now become a "tag line" about my life and career..

Listen here 1bad.. I could step into that octagon if I cared to.

You need to be qualified to do so - and I am.

I have fought professionally at the heavyweight class of my sport.

I have done well. Better than that really.. But there's no need for talk.

You made a mistake by putting me on blast.

I have the mind, and the credentials, to end this before it started.

Potna.

you sir, are 24-0 as a kickboxer, and have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do

I don't initiate these little exchanges.

It was you - all we have to do is look at the thread here..

You barked up my tree.

That's where we went of subject..

The title of the thread, as was the content of my posting within this thread in regards to the "appeal of UFC."

Of course the MMA fellows can't impose enough raw power and blunt force to actually damage or kill the way a Boxer can..

That seems obvious.

Boxing is hurting because of "boring fights."

Boring fights = no 'hurt' exchanges, no knockdowns, no knockouts.


UFC almost always has blood, injury's, and knockouts.

(Submissions or actual fractured and broken limbs as well..)


Many well informed and knowledgable MMA posters on this forum have made it very clear to us all, that MMA involves skill, technique, ect.

I say very few of the people who follow UFC, Pride, and MMA are in this category.


I say most people who watch this stuff figure they're going to see somebody get ****ed up.

They're going to see someone get hurt.


That is the appeal of UFC.

that is why they always brag about how their sport is more dangerous and tougher.
which i dont even believe.
but okay.

Bull****! I posted on #34 and got props on post #36. You said on post #40 concerning me: "It's a goddamn joke what you're saying." and "Quit talkin out yer ass." It went downhill from there.

Glad to hear it.

This thread was in the spirit of the "Hegelian Principle."

(I find it gets better results )

If MMA fighters were given standing 8 counts instead of the fight being called off, there would, IMO, have been MMA deaths in sanctioned bouts. There are none so far.

Are you ******ed? MMA fans and advocates for the sport say the OPPOSITE. Especially when hypocrites like John McCain are trying to ban it. They may say it's 'tougher', but it's in the context of it involving more skills to learn than just boxing alone. I'll be the first to admit boxers are 'tougher' than MMA guys(generally), but sadly it's why alot of them end up like the Quarry brothers or Ali.

Really? Because I'm pretty sure this was addressed to me..

And to the guys saying UFC only appeals to people want to see guys maimed or beaten bad, STFU. There will always be some idiots there, but there are idiot boxing fans too. UFC/MMA has been around since 1993. In that time there has NEVER been a death or anyone being cripppled in the US or Japan. UFC does not even try and market themselves to those kinds of people. If anyone is going to see MMA hoping to see that ****, they are A) ****ed in the head, and B) wasting their money.

At the smaller shows, many of the fans there train in MMA and go to watch the fights. It's not full of a bunch of inbred hicks yelling for blood(but there will always be a few).

MMA is whack. Sorry, it's just science.
