There are some things boxing can do better no doubt about that. And thats putting on more meaningful undercards. But fights typically last longer in boxing so putting on 5 fights wont happen. Realistically id love cards that feature something like Margarito/Cintron, Cotto/Gomez type cards. You get 2 fights that will be exciting even if one of them is a complete beatdown.
And the UFC has been getting away with alot of junk lately. Ie Last nights card featuring one meaningful fight and Machida fighting a tomato can in Thiago Silva. How exciting.
And none of the fights were great matchmaking. How the hell was this better than some of the great boxing fights we've seen in the past 2-3 months.
Diaz/Guida was boring and Diaz looked and acted like an idiot like your typical MMA fan. Karo/Kim was mediocre at best and is simply not appealing at all. Both guys will never hold a belt in their lives or even fight for one. Bonnar/Jones was one-sided and both them gassed in 2 rounds.
And like I said they handpicked an opponent for Machida in Silva who cant fight, and than they bring up Penn from 155 who has one good win at 170 and yet is fighting for a title.
