Dana White FORCES the best to fight the best every single week while in boxing it takes YEARS for the best to fight. No wonder people see boxing as a dying sport.

    I don't watch UFC/MMA, but based on what I see on television they're able to present fight cards to their fans on a regular basis without fail. And this has been going on for many decades. They clearly have very loyal followers who are excited to fill up arenas or watch UFC on TV. It's clearly more mainstream than boxing.

      And why is that? That's because boxing has been sucking ass for YEARS. I'm tired of this shyt. I'm tired of overpaid divas. I'm tired of fights never being made. I'm tired of A side this and A side that. I'm tired of countless tune up fights. I'm just fkking tired of all of this shyt. People these days don't give a shyt about it. No one even knows any of these new fighters. If a new fan wants to get into the sport, good luck. It's impossible to follow with all of this marinating and countless belts. It's just pathetic and sad. This sport is beneath hockey in the USA. Hell, it's damn near below American soccer for heavens sakes...... Fkking United States SOCCER.

        Why do you have such a problem answering simple yes or no questions? Let's try this one more time.
        1. Henry Cejudo, a 36 year-old fighter who hasn't fought in 3 years is the best UFC bantamweight?
        2. Dominick Cruz, a 38 year-old 12-4 fighter who lost his last fight by ko leg kick is the best UFC bantamweight?
        3. Dominick Reyes, a 33 year-old fighter that's 12-4 who has lost his last 4 fights, 3 by ko/tko is the best UFC heavyweight?
        I even numbered them for you. Your reply should look something like.
        1. Yes or No​.
        2. Yes or No.
        3. Yes or No.

        The reason you're so adamant about yes or no answers is because you're trying to be smart. Context matters. You're also trying to word things a certain way for example talking about Reyes in a 2023 context, using his current age and record, except you're referring to a fight that happened in early 2020 when he was undefeated. Then of course theres the required context that at the time he was basically just the next best challenger in line to a dominant champion, in a division that was fairly stagnant and where the mega fights already happened years ago.

        And you arent providing an alternative fight to Aljo/Cejudo because there isnt one. Again, the big fight of that division that everyone wanted happened twice and now there isnt really an obvious compelling challenger that people are desperate so see Aljo fight. Probably part of the reason Cejudo is coming back. If you asked most MMA fans they're gonna be happier with that fight than anything else at 135 right now.

        Look bro, no matter how you word things or what examples you try to cling to, you are never going to make it equivalent to how things go as the norm in boxing. MMA fans get the fights they want much more consistently, thats an objective fact.

          Many McDonalds are open 24 hrs.
          Most 5 star restaurants are not.

          Also, most Brittany Spears concerts are sold out

            How is boxing a 5 star restaurant in this analogy?

              How is it not

              Here's another comparison...
              It's the Uwe Boll of movie directors

              MMA/UFC fans are easy to please (as long as there is never a dull moment).
              Sloppy is fine with them

                  I didn't read any of that and not letting you derail this. They're simple questions and only someone not confident in what they believe would refuse to answer them. So again =--->

                  No need to be scared to answer, they're simple questions.

                    Because its generally a lower quality product (lower ratio of exciting fights, weaker cards, best fights not getting made consistently, fighters who would not be favoured to win a fight over MMA guys outside of the narrow ruleset of boxing etc) and also the UFC, despite apparently being McDonalds in this analogy, is more expensive to follow.​

                      EXCITEMENT, EXPLOSIONS, LOUD NOISES !!!
                      Quality is an unknown factor to MMA/UFC fans

                      It's clearly the Micky D's of restaurants.
