More physically demading. MMA or Boxing?

biased opinions are showing.

just because we all like boxing better (this is a boxing site afterall) doesn't mean it takes more conditioning than MMA.

Grappling requires ALOT of energy. BJJ and submissions require alot of energy as well.

being on your back and someone on top raining punches down on you can take a lot out of you.

and still boxing is more physically exerting. u guys talk about the grappling and stuff, but that stuff is designed to end fights fast. doesnt always work but usually it does. if u look at the average time for a championship mma fight and the average time for a championship boxing fight, u will immediately notice that the boxing fight takes longer. there is just too much that says that boxing is more physically exerting.

No it does not!! The whole point of bjj is to use leverage, u react from what your oppenent is doing, have you ever trained in bjj before? ill admit, it does require some energy, but the whole point the gracies were trying to make is that a smaller/weaker opponent can beat a bigger/stronger opponent with leverage, with technique you do not need much strength, with bad technique you use ALOT of energy

I've trained in several different martial arts and none of them came close to the kind of training I did with boxing. I've never trained MMA (mixed martial arts) though.
