PROOF that MMA is a Gimmick and a Farce

[Elie]

95% of the time MMA sucks ass, but when two well rounded fighters are going at it it's about as good as boxing. You need to watch fighters like:

Gomi
Crocop (although his tight shorts and big ass might offend your sensibilities, he's also not exactly well rounded, but he's good)
Diego Sanchez
Mach Sakurai
Anderson Silva (he's ******ed, but he's maybe the best MMartist)
BJ Penn
Kid Yamamoto
Lyoto Machida
Rampage Jackson

There in the hole 56 million haha

There in the hole 56 million haha

Yeah.

Gary Shaw ruined it by overhyping two large muppets and a good female fighter because she's got great ****.

Also not scheduling one well rounded fight.

There's nothing wrong with MMA as a sport but I'm not a fan of how UFC/Elite XC run their shows.

The fights you mentioned are horrible. Couture is still competitive at his age but he should be fighting Fedor/Nogueira instead of Brock Lesnar...

Yeah. The problem with Brock Lesnar is that people use him to take credibility away from MMA, and thats not fair. The guy has had about 18 years of training in wrestling, and focused purely on learning MMA for two full years before looking for a fight. The guy is a serious physical specimen, nobody would have an easy time fighting him unless they are packin.
Anyway people can hate on MMA all they want, its a very entertaining sport and the truly hardcore fans are similar to boxing fans: educated and passionate.

Funny how when they compare mma to boxing they only bring up ufc not the whole sport

There in the hole 56 million haha

A fight that was set up by Jared Shaw, son of Gary Shaw. The Boxing promoter who founded EliteXC.




A former Olympic alternate in Greco Roman vs. A NCAA Heavyweight champ with an intermediate knowledge in Catch As Catch Can Wrestling.

If your going to fault Lesnar for trying to make a decent living, you're going to have to fault a lot of other fighters as well, because before MMA, if you weren't pretty looking, there was nothing for you in martial arts except petty endorsements and cheap speaking engagements.

I'm not faulting the "fighters" for making a living, I'm faulting for all the organization for thinking it's even on the same level as boxing.

Why would we need Lesnar to take credibility away from MMA (assuming MMA even has any credibility to begin with) when we have Kimbo and a boat load of other no skilled bums.

I must admit Gina has huge **** tho and I'd pay to see her fight )))))))))))))
