    Which is why they fight 2-3 times per year at least(Overeem had 8 fights in 1 year) and it's also the reason why they go for the finish to get the 'stoppage bonus'. They are a lot hungrier.

        Maybe. Fact is, there is much more fights in boxing that people don't get than in MMA.

          yeah but probably not better wrestling or submissions.

          mma is not trying to be some boxing-event with smaller gloves. It's a complete martial arts system. Ofcourse they wont be topnotch in every facet.

            Dont really care to be honest. How big or how small the UFC is doesnt have any effect on me enjoying the sport of boxing.

              Cain fights 3x a year? No

              GSP fights for a finish? Never


              I respect overeem's K1 career but that MMA stuff is 99% terrible

                i think i said that a few posts ago. we are just missing out on the select few "best fights".

                Hopefully some of them will materialize.
                Cain - overeem, gsp - silva, gsp - diaz, silva - jones etc etc.

                  Like Floyd fights for the knockout . Pat pat pat run, repeat.

                    cain trashed his shoulder.

                    he fought 3 times per year prior to his injury.
