Jeff Lacy: "MMA is a Fad, Not a Sport"

[We want Floyd]

I dont care.

Last I checked we dont have any former math high school teachers as champs of the world.

Boxers are real athletes.

Most of the MMA guys are mugs.

That's because most boxers don't even have high school diplomas, not even a GED(LOL).

A good percentage of pros in the UFC have atleast had some college or do have college diplomas, obviously, or else they wouldn't have that extensive Greco-Roman wrestling background. Take Dan Henderson for example, he was an Olympian, maybe even a two-time olympian if my memory serves me right. Matt Hughes, Randy Couture, Lidell were all wrestling studs in college, so was Frank Trigg, all of 'em competed at the College level and a few at the Olympic level, which is pretty much the highest accolade you can get as a wrestler since there isn't a "pro-wrestling league".

MMA has opened up financial opportunities for college wrestlers, that wasn't there before. Unlike boxing and other sports who already had established organzations if they wanted to pursue a pro career.

Mark Kerr wrestled for the same college that former NY Jets WR Wayne Chrebet came from and Mark Coleman was a top wrestler from Ohio State University . Brandon Vera went to Old Dominion Unviversity but didn't finish.

College wrestling is its equivalent to Amateur boxing!!

The reason you have no former math teachers as boxers is because you'll likely find more ex-convicts that became boxers, or got convicted while being a boxer, or drag queens(lmao).

[THE REAL NINJA]

HA HA HA it's so funny to see how worked up people get over this in a I don't understand the other so i'm going to call it trash because mine is better and I really have no proof of it but i'm going to keep saying it anyway sort of way.

Watch whatever you like watch boxing watch UFC watch both who cares.
