How can anyone enjoy UFC more than boxing?

[hayZ]

Firstly, any form of female combat is disgusting. The fact that a society can on one hand condemn violence against women and then on the other hand pay tens of millions to watch it happen is pathetic.

As for your other points I don't necessarily disagree. However, I find boxing PURELY as a sport to be superior to UFC. In addition, I think that the very chaos, corruption, and inertia that makes the sport annoying at the same time makes it interesting. When a meaningful fight happens in boxing it is unlike any other sport. The "high" you feel watching it can't be matched.

1) I'm rarely going to watch female combat, unless it's literally THE ELITE who have LEGIT skills and are truly world class like Ronda Rousey (phenomenal Judoka) or Holly Holm (excellent standup). Society does condemn violence against women....by men. These are trained women fighting trained women. I don't like watching women combat unless they are elite because anything below that it looks horrible due to terrible technique and women just getting bloodied without it looking in any way appealing. I get them getting bloodied if the opponent lands an amazing high kick out of the blue whilst making it look like it would be a body shot or something cool and obviously top tier technique wise. This is why there has to be a strict selection of combat athletes being chosen in the major leagues.

2) I agree but that's us speaking as BOXING fans first. Theres nothing like a Boxing bout between the two absolute best but let's be honest how often does that happen? I don't want to wait 6-7 years for a fight to be made due to egos, the fans overpaid big time...everyone overpaid big time for them to get together and give us that garbage in FloydPac.

I watch UFC but cause I fall into the hype, only fights I ever tune into on UFC were for Rhonda, Diaz bros, Conor, Holm, back when sloppy fat brown pride dude used to fight, UFC IS A HYPE MACHINE NO DENYING THAT.

I'm a fan of both. I don't get this bs about one of the other.

It's like saying you can't like baseball and basketball. It's just bs. Lately, I've actually enjoyed UFC more than boxing.

You can like basketball and think baseball is dull as fcuk though. That is allowed. I appreciate that the UFC gets the right fighters fighting each other it's just the whole hugging and rolling around on the floor/against the cage thing doesn't interest me in the slightest. It's dull to watch in my humble opinion.

it's just a shame boxing can't load it's fight cards like the UFC can because we'd see some big numbers on ppv if you had 3 marquee fights on the same night and card. Don King used to manage to do it but he was kinda like the UFC in the 80s and 90s as he had a slice of everyone

That's most definitely allowed. But that's not really what I said. It's not a prerequisite to being a basketball fan that you also have to hate baseball at the same time.

Everyone definitely don't roll around on the floor all the time, but of course you have to appreciate fighting styles like wrestling or BJJ if you want to be a full-scale fan of MMA. One of the reasons I am a fan of the UFC and MMA in general is because of different fighting styles clashing.

Sky Sports & Eddie Hearn are doing something a little bit similar with multiple big names on the card. However, the difference is that they don't and neither did King, put on the best title fights possible at the same card.

Like UFC 196 we saw McGregor vs Diaz + Holm vs Tate. Alone those two were huge (and great fights) and would have been stand alone main events on their own. UFC196 is probably the most heated one-night fight event I have seen.

Or when we got Ruckhold vs Weidmann, a top middleweight title fight on the same card as McGregor vs Aldo - Which is probably the biggest or second biggest fight in UFC history. And that's on top of a fight card that already included Max Holloway, Urijah Faber, Yoel Romero, Gunnar Nelson vs Maia. I mean, it's an absolutely sick night of action.

Dana White had a vision from the beginning and that's no matter what to give the fans a great night of action. And he does.

Does your small peanut balls feel insecure that these badass chicks would kick your ass 24/7/365? smells like it to me.

Also, the UFC is not a sport. It's probably better to understand what you're talking about before posting a thread.

[Mr.Fantastic]

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.

UFC, the best fight the best a lot of the time. Unlike boxing where we have to talk about the fights in fantasy land.

Why not have women fighting men? We are all equal right

Hypocrite.

[Weebler I]

I actually like the women's division because they are skillful and put a good show on. Misha Tate is ridiculously cute, but I mean that's not what I'm looking at when they're in the octagon.

Well yeah I enjoy the contest too but when Paige VanZant has her ass spread out or Miesha Tate's ******* are pushed up...well what can I say, it's an all round good show.

[RussB23]

I like UFC but i still enjoy boxing more. You can like both, UFC isnt always ass grabbing like you said there are actually some very skilled fighters. You should try to watch guys like Jon jones or rumble johnson maybe you will like it.
