    Tbh. I think MMA is kinda boring, they are just laying there, grabbing eachother on the nuts.

    Not my taste.

        When do you think Fedor, Urijah Faber or Anderson Silva will get beat in the near future?

          Faber? Overrated as ****.

          Fatdor? No one. The heavyweights suck.

          Silva - Not soon but someone who can take him down and GnP him to a decision. That's his weakness, if he has any.

            Didnt read the article but, MMA is getting more popular and there was an article on ESPN where promoters where going to have boxing matches and mma matches on the same card. It is taking over but, its also up to the promoters to give boxing a good name. Fighters need to stop looking for money fights and look to fight the best in their division.

              Cotto vs Margorito
              keep giving us fights like that boxing wont have a problem

              not fights like
              De La Hoya vs Pacquiao
              Trinidad vs Roy Jones (great idea in 2001)
              Roy Jones vs Calzaghe (should of happend 7 years ago too)

              and not pass on fights that should of happened like
              DeLaHoya vs Trinidad II
              Hopkins vs Jones II
              Cotto vs Mayweather
              Trinidad vs Mosley
              Mayweather vs Mosley
              DeLaHoya vs Winky

              THESE PROBLEMS WILL HAPPEN TO MMA EVENTUALLY TOO!!!!!
              These fights haven't even happened yet so you can't say anything yet. These could be the best fights of the year you never know.

                not a fan of mma

                it seems like a fad...with a lot of jacks of all trades..masters of none..

                as for a real street fight...everyfight ive ever been in at school and elsewhere was standup...tackling someone to the ground and wrestling is a waste of energy and a good way to get stomped on by your opponants friends

                  MMA is a joke. Boxing owns MMA on a world wide scale: FACT. Boxing has ten times more fans and generates hundreds of millions if not billions of more money than MMA fact.
