    lol you're absolutely delusional about the UFC not being able to have new blood or superstars. And Dana White is absolutely delusional about boxing not being able to have new blood or superstars.

    Fact is, they are two different sports and as a fight fan, we can enjoy them both.

Anyway, what does UFC have that can even try to compete with that lineup?

      Just saying...
      UFC dont have to compete....they are a sport deserving our Respect. To be honest most of the fans from UFC are from boxing....Manny Pacquiao also have huge number of fans from UFC, i'm one of them.

          no skill?many of the MMA fighters know more than one discipline of martial arts hence MIXED martial arts.they learn boxing, kickboxing, muay thai, brazilian jiu jitsu, sambo, judo, and many more.don't knock on it just b/c you don't understand it.

            UFC can NEVER match boxing in terms of fighters.. but sad to say, they make up with fair match making and ladderized shot to the Title...

              To the casual fan, ufc and boxing aren't even competitors, its like comparing ground beef to celery, yes you eat both of them, but they're very different, some people will purchase both some people will buy just one or the other...

                  I've watched UFC when they just started,And it was exciting then.Since there was almost no rules. An d can still remember those great KO's.But after awhile they get boring for me.I stopped watching after the Gracies dominated the scene.

                    The only thing i admire about UFC is that Dana makes the best fight the best and there's always big fights between the champ and deserving No. 1 contender. No ducking or excuses allowd.
