How Can UFC Compete With This

[VoN Brawn]

Proof? I've always read the opposite.

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.

If you ain't feelin' one - don't pay it mind. No need to act like it shat in your cereal

Entertaining and Exciting Athletes to Watch

My wife recently brought home the new Ring 2010 Almanac, and on the back cover it has an HBO ad showing Kelly Pavlik, Juan Manuel Marquez, Paul Williams, Miguel Cotto, Bernard Hopkins, Floyd Mayweather, Wladimir Klitschko, Manny Paquiao, Shane Mosley, Vitali Klitschko, Andre Berto, and Chad Dawson. 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.

any one got a copy of the picture? sounds cool

They can't compete with the sweet science right now. But unfortunately most regular fans would rather see guys with no skills stand toe to toe until somebody gets knocked out. I'd rather see a display of actual technical skill and a unanimous decision than that crap.

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.

Just saying...

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...

[DIB42]

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.

[Joe2608]

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.
