you're full of ****, watch thisOriginally posted by DoubleMMA is nothing but glorified wrestling unless punches are being thrown. And if that's what makes it exciting why not just watch boxing?
it involves , soccer kicks, russian sambo, judo ,brazilian jiu jitsu, submissions , chokes , slams , kicks all kinds of things.
It's not glorified wrestling.
There's not just punching & "wrestling". Don't talk about something you have no idea about.Comment

you got me the kicks are decent too. But I'm sure the best MMA fighters are the ones with the best punching skills? Is this not the case?Originally posted by registeredyou're full of ****, watch this

I'm your father! You're full of ****. Why don't you show me some links about Gracie?? Why don't you answer my question. You said he makes 2.5 mil for fighting a bum, prove it!Originally posted by registeredMake me! who are you? the owner of this site?Comment

Not fighting a bum, Gracie fighting Peter Aerts (kickboxer) but He obviously has zero experience in ground fighting, so unless aerts wins via a flash KO, He'll lose this fight.Originally posted by ParodiusI'm your father!

And yes, He's getting paid 2.5 million...visit sherdog , register and ask for yourself. You have no respect whatsoever for this sport. I had to register here cause the bull**** I'm reading is phenomenal.
There's several mma orgs in the world buddy. The UFC is garbage , but don't critise mma in general. Pride hires olympic greco-roman athletes , russian sambo experts , judo champions.. They have the cream of the crop.
The UFC hires nobodies from reality shows who are willing to get paid like ****.Last edited by registered; 10-19-2005, 10:34 AM.Comment

NOOriginally posted by Doubleyou got me the kicks are decent too. But I'm sure the best MMA fighters are the ones with the best punching skills? Is this not the case?
THE BEST MMA FIGHTERS are russian sambo elites and brazilian jiu jitsu experts.
THAT is it!
MMA isn't boxing. Ground experts rule mma , not strikers.
MMA isn't just about striking.
What you see on the ufc is an insult to MMA and the american public sees this and think it's a joke.
I know I would too If I had no idea what this sport was all about.Comment

Why should I go register to find out. I don't want to register to any MMA sites. Why don't you show me a link that proves me wrong. You say MMA is so big, then you should not have a problem finding me a link. Don't forget some boxers get paid 10-20 mil for a fight.Originally posted by registeredNot fighting a bum, Gracie fighting Peter Aerts (kickboxer) but He obviously has zero experience in ground fighting, so unless aerts wins via a flash KO, He'll lose this fight.

Ok , i coulnd't find it for you, but I've got something else.
Read.
Rickson is older now, and he will ask for more than 5 million dollars, which is almost what the champion (myself) makes and that's not fair!!! (laughs...) I just said that because I think he should use his fame to help our sport, make an event, lead some campaign to legalize vale-tudo
Here's the link
go at the bottom of the page.
That's wanderlei silva (a light heavy weight) speaking in this interview..
He fights for the japanese organisation, Pride fc. (big difference compared to the ufc , they fight in a ring for one..They also allow stomps to the face , soccer kicks, knees to the head of a downed opponent, spiking-slams.
Their 1rst round lasts an entire 10 minutes (without any brakes)
2nd round 5 minutes and 3rd round 5 minutes.
this is what it looks like..(i know, I'm reposting this ****)
This is what mma really is.
The ufc is a disgrace for mma. Their champion Andrei Arlovski probably wins around 130 000 to 180 000 a year.
There's a huge difference between UFC fighters and "Pride" or "Heros" fighters.
The talent pool of pride fc are generally constituted of some of the best sambo and bjj fighters in the world. They also have some amazing kickboxers , and olympic gold medalists (in judo and wrestling).
The ufc is a bad joke compared to Pride.
I'm not a liar. Some of these mma fighters already make millions.
They don't win as much as boxers , and it's a shame. But it's normal. The sport they practice is banned in most countries.
Pride is banned in america which is why you guys are only watching a watered down version of mma (the ufc) featuring some poor excuses for fighters.
Boxing has been around for more than a century.
MMA is still concidered to be barbaric.
Let it grow, it can go some places.
It'll enevr compare to boxing because it's not an american sport and never will. It's not even an european sport. It is banned even in some parts of europe.Comment

Still this doesn't prove that they make 2-5 mil for each fight. From what I know, they don't make millions for each fight. This tells you that MMA is not that big of a sport in the world, you couldn't find me one link from the internet & what is internet??? Internet gives you every info from the world.Originally posted by registeredOk , i coulnd't find it for you, but I've got something else.
