Rant: UFC will slowly take fans away from boxing

[Aggroblakh]

their main event fight hasnt really live up to the hype as of late. and i know in boxing we get this also, but lately a lot of the "big fights" in the ufc has turn into a total let down.

and a lot of the old fighters that i used to love to watch is not fighting anymore and the new fighters is just too technical that when they fight eachother, you get 5 minutes of them rolling on the ground trying to submit eachother but because their skill set is equal to one another it just goes on like this for the whole fight.

I've noticed this too. It's almost like the UFC hype machine is too good, and because a fight in MMA can end in an instant the "big" fighters fight way more carefully than the undercard guys going in with something to prove.

Boxing has fights like this too, but in boxing they're still standing and throwing punches when the fight becomes defensive and technical.

theres such a thing as a person being a fan of multiple sports. wtf. boxing and its fans arent going anywhere.

Boxing fans are unbelievably patient, at least the real ones. They would not stop hoping that good matchups will eventually happen; the best will eventually fight the best. Fans have been gobbling up whatever they are fed and assume good fights will come eventually.

I don't equate boxing to UFC. They're different to me.

Haymon following the UFC model was just something short-sighted people said because they always need something to compare it to. He's not and the UFC "model" isn't the way, the truth and the light. Plenty of ways to skin a cat.
