    How can anyone enjoy UFC more than boxing?

    As far as I can tell the sport is made up of half naked men grabbing each others asses. Oh, and women getting beat up on live TV which is apparently OK as long as other women are doing the beating.

    I don't care how fuqqed up boxing is. UFC is pathetic. Not to mention they exploit their talent monetarily to an absurd extreme.

    What?

    It is clearly taste based. Some people prefer the array of styles in UFC as opposed to boxing.

    Simple as that.

      The UFC promotion and the cards generally crap all over boxing can produce. Best vs the best, all the time. One match maker, no crap.

      I used to think the same, but UFC has grown heavily on me. I don't believe any fight fan could honestly say that don't like UFC if they took the time to get into it.

        And some people can appreciate both.

          Top guys facing top guys and lots of hype.

          Boxing has the potential to be better but right now it's in a pretty sht state.

            Maybe some people enjoy the more freeform nature of combat that UFC allows? It's purely down to what you enjoy. There's no better or worse sport.

            Plus, UFC dumps all over boxing as regards giving their fans the matches they want as well as promoting the crap out of them. That's to be respected.

              In other words they exploit their talent to no end. There's a reason McGregor is pissed off.

                How exactly do they exploit their talent?

                  In other words, they pay their fighters **** and force them to fight whenever and whoever the corporation orders them to.

                    I agree. I've really started to get into UFC as a fight fan, and believe they do a hell of a lot of things right that boxing would do well to learn from. I believe you can be a fan of both. This BS artificial divide is for partisan losers.
