MMA fighters can't fight and that sport won't last much longer.

It's not a real sport, under no circumstances would Brock have ever won a boxing world title or a national title in boxing because he can't take a punch firstly. MMA is basically WWE for adults nothing more.
"Lesnar won the 2000 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I heavyweight wrestling championship his senior year after being the runner-up to Stephen Neal the year prior. He finished his amateur career as a two-time NJCAA All-American, the 1998 NJCAA Heavyweight Champion, two-time NCAA All-American, two-time Big Ten Conference Champion and the 2000 NCAA Heavyweight Champion, with a record of 106–5 overall in four years of college"

Oh wow "Trenzl.com" is now backing you up. But wait...this one has boxing at 6th most popular..I thought it was meant to be second though? interesting to see that Polo, bowling and figure skating are bigger than MMA too. And that (I quote) "popularity of golf is getting close to soccer", very eye opening.
From his wiki...

And I visited the GWI site and downloaded their 2019 sports engagement report. Boxing is not found on any of the top 10 sports in any of the countries they surveyed. But they did reference MMA growing tremendously in Latin America.
We're all huge boxing fans here, but it's okay to admit the people that run the sport have done an awful job with it and UFC has pushed ahead here and is growing a lot more globally.The UFC is the only sports entity that has remained consistent or grown with its pre-pandemic television ratings.

Obviously as he doesn’t have a background in boxing. He was however a division 1 wrestler which is arguably the most important aspect of MMA.
I get that theres some people that only wanna watch boxing, but if you're gonna talk **** about MMA or any other combat sport at least try to get a basic understand of the technical aspects of it first for ****s sake so you're not just talking complete BS. If he did he might understand how Brock or Askren could find success in MIXED martial arts even with poor boxing ability.
