Last night was another proof that MMA has definitely taken the spotlight from boxing.

Every time there is a huge UFC fight that everyone talks about and I end up watching, turns out to be complete ****.
    Yeah. Forrest was too freakin conservative in this fight. He knew he couldn't throw leather with Jackson so he attacked with the leg kicks. ****, he could of ended it several times in the second round, but he didn't.

          I was kinda thinking the same thing about Jackson, seemed to me if he really wanted to take the fight he could have but he just didn't do anything. I guess those legs kicks really bothered him.

            MMA is a growing fad and getting popular...also a lot of their main stream stars are American...including Jackson and Griffin...so the "American Bar Scene" appeal is already there...

            vs a 135lb Pacman and Diaz...

            that's why Heavyweight boxing has long been considered the flagship...the glamour division of Boxing....especially when American's are at the top or the champion(s)

              I admit, he probably wasn't expecting the leg kicks, but the second round when started eating knees and then the 'bomb in the third I think really took a lot out of him. He gassed himself out end of the fourth.

                Do you realize how many years boxing has been, while there wasn't even an MMA?

                  In Puerto Rico, people don't give a **** about the ufc they don't show it anywhere and I bet the ppv numbers are terrible. Sports bars here are all about boxing, the ufc here is basically none existant.

                    That's because there hasn't been a significant Puerto Rican MMA fighter. Unlike Benitez, Trinidad and now Cotto for boxing. I'm pretty sure, that if a Puerto Rican MMAer becomes a major player in the UFC he'll get a lot of love from the Ricans and turn their attention to the UFC, the way they've supported their beloved boxers.

                      Our fighters have more than enough talent to make it in boxing. They don't need to fight for peanuts in the UFC.
