I like MMA, but I really dont enjoy first round Ko's that much..

I went to the Versus card on thursday and there were 2 first round Ko's and 1 second round Ko, I was surprised my girl felt the same way.

Plus Ive been to UFC live and the Cage is Horrible, you cant really see **** plus there are like five guys with cameras filming.

But I'll rather watch MMA, over anything other then boxing.

Well its true the Cage is crap for live viewing compared to the cage. But the higher up you sit the better off you are. If you sit at the top you can look down into the cage as apposed to being low and looking through the fence.

And in MMA? Whatever MMA bums according to MMA fanboys fought a good fight I guess

You should check more mma out. Its actually a really entertaining combat sport. If you don't like it then fine but don't act like the fighters are untrained bums. Well Leben might be the exception

Yeah man I sat ringside, and the truth is I really diden't think it was worth the money..Plus the fans were boo'ing most of the fights..I dident have a very good experience. I go to boxing events all the time, and enjoy them alot more.

The only sick athletes in MMA is Silva, Hughes, Penn, Sherk and GSP. REAL TALK.

Boxing has many many sick sick athletes.

Yeah MMA live can be a VERY annoying experience on a ton of levels. You have dip**** fans booing the second the fight hits the floor because they think it should be "Ultimate Boxing", and top of that the cage is a terrible viewing live, especially watching ground fighting live.

I haven't seen a UFC live in a few years...the last one I saw live was St. Pierre Hughes I so at least the prices then were cheap because it was before TUF ($35)...Boxing and Kickboxing live are more enjoyable.

I went to ao King of the Cage live event...good atmosphere although you always get these ****y fratboy looking guys who are buff as hell but know nothing of any fighting sport yelling abunch of bull****. Kills the mood a bit..

But it was very enjoyable as I was a little higher up and not staring straight into the cage.

I agree, when the fights hit the ground, you cant see WTF is going on...If I want to watch the fights on a screen...I'll rather stay home.

Well lets be serious...there are a lot more guys in MMA who are sick athletes than you listed...just to name some more off the top of my head to double your list(Fedor Emelianenko, Dan Henderson, Sokoudjou, Matt Lindland, Josh Koscheck)


Yes the amount of high level athletes in Boxing is deeper.

[Azteca]

Fedor is a decent athlete...but he isn't crazy in terms of speed, strength etc as the guys I mentioned above. He is just the smartest and most talented MMA fighet ever.....so thats how he kicks everyones ass. I've never seen a fighter as smart as that guy.

Dan Henderson, No. Lindland and KOS...good athletes but not great. Soko...you may have a point.
