MMA and Boxing should be working together. Fight Fans enjoy FIGHTING

^^^^^^McDojoism at it's finest.

That is what fuels this make believe competition.

If i had to watch that ground humping crap inbetween my fights i might stop watching all together.

i can honestly say, i am not a fight fan. I am a boxing fan, the historical lineage of the sport is its biggest attraction and it truely feels like a "sport". I dont get that sense with MMA, thus i have a lack of interest in it. I just cant get into it.

pretty much what I was about to post myself.
I don't consider myself a "fight fan" either.

I agree with the thread starter. I'm a fight fan first. I literally have hundreds of old martial arts movies. I used to watch K-1,etc, and watched UFC back in 93/94 when it first came out. I like a good fight with skilled atheletes. Boxing seems to have more skilled fighters at the moment, but MMA is improving. Some of the UFC guys are overated bar-brawlers. Who actually thinks Chuck Liddel, Randy Coutoure, Tim Sylvia are good strikers???? Some of that stuff is absolutely horrible to watch. But I do like Anderson Silva and BJ Penn striking game.

That's exactly what I was gonna write. I have no interest in elbows, knees, and grappling, and what's most disturbing and unbearable for me is watching someone hit a guy while he's down. That's not only unsportsmanlike, it's a major health risk, and kinda *****-made.
