I'm sure there is a sweet science and requires a lot of training to be successful in MMA also. Don't mind the hate, i have more bad experiences losing in MMA matches than when I Box

Its all good my friend.

I dont get it. Why not just point out that MMA is scripted and fake and that Bill Lesnar is the heavyweight champion/biggest draw and he has 4 wins

The beauty about boxing is that it requires multiple & various amount of skills, but it's still a distinct individual sport just like any other major sport. It's science. It's analytical.

Mixed martial arts, well is just that, mixed.

It's like watching basketball, soccer, football, golf, tennis, volleyball players all at the same time. It's amusing to see who would win, but that's just it. It's just amusing.

According to the December 2001 issue of the Journal of Combative Sport, as of November 2001, 1101 fighters have died in a boxing ring.

No one has died in the UFC. Boxing is far more hazardous because of the heavy padded gloves

No one has ever died in the UFC, the deaths in boxing more likely occur because of the standing 8 count.

Continually recieving blows to the head is a good way to recieve a brain injury.
No one in the UFC, but three men have died in MMA. Sam Vasquez in 2007, Douglas Dedge in 1998, and a 35 year old man only identified as Lee in South Korea in 2005.

the heavy padded gloves? you need to do your research.

why did Deuk Koo Kim die? was it because of the heavy padded gloves? NO. it was because he had serious issues making weight. when ones body is dehydrated like this the brain is at serious risk. is it boxings fault the fighter had a hard time making weight? NO. its the fighters fault for ill preparation. the vast majority of boxer deaths is related to poor training. a lot of these guys fight just to put food on the table, will never be a somebody, and will go to extraordinary lengths to make the fight happen.

lets see how the first generation of mma fighters end up looking like. mma is far more dangerous. saw a tuf episode recently and there was so much blood one would think a murder took place. broken bones and all kinds of serious injuries...........regularly.

also if you look at the statistics on boxer deaths, there has been a huge decline since the 1980's. 90's even less and 00' even less. boxing has a rich history that goes far back. people were dying from toothaches in the 40's so yeah boxers from those era's will die. mma started in modern times so it will definitely have less deaths to deal with.

lets look at some stats from 93' which is the year mma started. and lets look at them case by case. one just cant throw numbers around w/o a reason behind it.

and fyi most commission rules are NO standing 8 count. your confused i think. when was the last time you saw a ref give a fighter a standing 8? i cant remember and i've been watching boxing longer than you and your daddy.

lets talk about taking punches. its not about high volume of weaker punches that do the damage, its about those hard asss shots that rattle your brain. experienced boxers know this as fact. once your out of the green stage, most punches dont really hurt. 16 oz gloves in sparring with face saver hg's for training to move on to 10-12oz [8oz arent used as much anymore-----very recent].......now lets compare the 4oz mma gloves that hit like cement? if you didnt have power before, youll have it with those gloves for sure.

headgears are super safe as compared to years past. when i was out of my element sparring pro's and i got caught, shots that would knock most men out-----those hurt. you can only take so many of those. those are the punches that do the damage. i've taken shots with mma gloves and a glancing blow really hurts. there is a significant difference.

forget kellerman, get me in there with rogan. i'll spank him with knowledge then spank him with a 5 piece and i aint talkin bout no kfc either.

Good luck to you and your friends. I wish the best for anyone participating in any combat sport no matter what level they're at. But your argument was that it doesn't take "rocket science" to submit someone. My argument is it is just as difficult (maybe even more so) to master these submissions and their counters as it is to become prolific at the finer points of boxing. I've provided examples and reasoning why. You've said any bum of the street could succeed in MMA yet give no logical reasons.

I dont mean any harm..but ppv sells say differantly
