I just finished watching my first MMA fight and after watching the invincible Fedor, all I can say about the MMA is it is a freaking joke!!! I can't believe that people actually compare this crap to boxing as if the skill level is similar.
What I saw in watching the Fedor fight was a guy named Rogers who was commiting what would be considered numerous illegal moves in boxing: hitting his opponent behind the head, hitting with kidney punches and holding him against a cage while holding onto the cage and refusing to let go when the ref ordered him to. The referee reminded me of a pro wrestling referee. He did nothing and was totally ineffective. He kept ordering Rogers to stop holding onto the cage and Rogers kept ignoring him and he did nothing. This would not happen in boxing. They should have put them in a cage by themselves for all the good the ref did.
Rogers got knocked out with one punch because he demonstrated no head movement, no defense and no skill.
If Fedor E. is the best MMA has to offer, it is definitely a joke. The man is tough. I will give him that, but he has no skill beyond street fighting toughness. Any heavyweight boxer in the top 15 would destroy him in less than one round. In fact, I believe Ray Austin has fought in MMA fights and would probably love an opportunity to take on Fedor. If they fought, Austin would knock him out in less than a minute.
Anyone who compares this crap to boxing is either seriously disturbed or knows absolutely nothing about boxing.
