    Is it just me or does MMA suck!!

    i have watched it a few time on tv and i dont see what the big deal is. for the fist minute they throw piss poor punches, then the rest of the fight is 2 guys rolling around on the ground. the call it brazilian ju-jitsu to make it sound cool or make people think its a skill. i dont see why people love it so much. i hear MMA fans say it a generational thing( older people like boxing and younger people like MMA ) Well im 26 and me and all my friends perfer boxing over MMA anyday. So once again, is it just me or does MMA suck!!

    MMA is ok but nothing great, and you'll never ever ever ever get a Marquez vs. Vazquez or Corrales vs. Castillo kinda fight in MMA.

      I like it, it's entertaining.

      It has similarity's to boxing in that the more you know the complexities the more enjoyable it is.

        A lot of the big MMA names are in big financial distress, it's a fad and it will fade with time. A sport can't stay alive if there is nothing to follow. I tried to follow it but half the time I have no clue who the oponent is of my favourite fighter, and he usually randomly knocks him out.

        Like who was Gabriel Gonzaga?..suddenly he knocks Mirko Filipovic (sp) out and all of a sudden he's an elite fighter...that loses to a 40+ year old man...you can't follow it I'm telling you.

          MMA is good just look at their ears, their swelled up from all the damage they take. Ultimate Fighter is also enjoyable. Even tho it seems an armbar accurs 75 percent of the time

              I agree, it does suck. Once they go to the floor, my attention is immediately lost.

                I happen to like seeing people fighting, boxing, mma, kick boxing, muai thai, whatever. If there are people punching each other in the face i'm happy.

                I don't get why some people think the 2 sports can't co-exist.

                  Its just you. MMA is awesome and the fighters are well rounded in all aspects of the fight game unlike boxers.
