UFC VS Boxing

[hitmenow]

If you want to see some good MMA watch some Pride events. In my opinion they were lightyears ahead of UFC..Bummer that they went out of business.

You know those guys in Pride are pretty good.

I think to like the ufc you have to have a love for raw carnage and maybe a little less love or appreciation for the science and art of fighting. I noticed when fighters get tied up the crowd gets bored. I watch it sometimes but I don't see any fighter being victorious for long. They just get hit too many times. There's something really special about the sweet science. Watching a boxer who is able to fight and not get hit a lot. Stick and move, jab, jab, hook......ahhh.

With all due respect, you have obviously never tried learning any grappling from a legit coach. I totally appreciate the 'sweet science', I love a guy who can make boxing look like an art form. But unless you grapple, it is hard to appreciate the intricacies of grappling. There are not many things as scary as being on the ground with a good grappler and not knowing what to do. It's a truly helpless feeling.

yeah yeah...true..just proves mma guys..do not possess all the gr8 skills..and if they aint huggen on the ground..they gon get knocked the **** out by boxers

Go bother someone else. You're dumb as a log, and you need to leave here before I burn you.

But lets be honest. You're involved in the sport. The "crowd" may not appreciate the grappling as much as you do. I do respect the grappling though. But the original ufc came out to be a raw carnage type of sport. I know where you're coming from ..... just like the boxing "crowd" may want to see a knock out at every fight.

I agree with that post 100%.

Try saying that while locked in a gogoplata.

Apples and Oranges. MMA fighters aren't skilled boxers because they are constantly training in different disciplines. Wrestling, Ju Jitsu, Muhi Thai (spelling is a little iffy there...), etc.

i just find something weird in guys hugging each other i know there is a science behind it but its really not for me id rather watch boxing than MMA but if nothing is on id watch it.

I've always enjoyed watching UFC. I just don't understand why people like to compare it to boxing alot. Their two different sports so one can't be better than the other. Lets be real. If you put a MMA fighter in a boxing match he'll lose. Same situation goes for a boxer in a MMA match. The reason why is that the biggest asset needed to win the matches in either sport will be useless in either match. All a boxer is trained to do is footwork and how to punch. They don't get trained on that grappling and submission **** so if they would get in the ring with a fighter that can rush them and take em down their done. Same situation for MMA fighters. Only thing they can depend on is punches which will not help them that much. All I'm saying is that people need to stop trying to compare them and just enjoy what each sport has to offer.
