MMA safer than boxing ???

[Bonafide]

If u read my post again, i posted "There is also ranking in welterweight and lightweight". I did not type those fighters because to much to type. But just 4 u, here u go.

Welterweight 155 to 160:
Matt Hughes
George St. Pierre
BJ Penn
Frank Trigg(i believed he retired this year)
Sean Sherk

Lighweight 145 to 154:
Takanori Gomi
Hayto Sakurai
Joachin Hansen
Mark Hominick
Yves Edwars

This ratings was from Full Contact Fighter April Edition(so its 1-2 months old), The May edition is out already but don't have it yet. I am gonna buy it sometimes this week. The ratins changes every month. Gomi was choked out in his last fight so at the current ratings, his not #1 anymore.

I didnt say you typed it just looked off. If that was a cut and paste from a magazine then IMO there ratings are ****ed up. lol

First and foremost I am a die hard boxing fan and prefer the sweet science over MMA but for those of you who think that boxing is a much safer sport than MMA should read this.





Mixed Martial Art is a sport; it’s a mix of all martial arts. If you had a wrestling, karate or boxing event no one would have issues, why is it an issue when you mixed all of these in one event? People might say yeah they have small gloves, they is a good thing, this mean when someone gets hit hard once, its over. Unlike boxing where you get hit over and over, this is not good for your brain at all. Boxing you win by getting KO’ed or towel thrown in (which means your corner had enough of watching you get killed). In MMA if you are in trouble you can protect yourself by holding on to the guy (not boxing), in MMA if you don’t like getting hit you can take the guy down (not in boxing), in MMA when you had enough you can quit by tapping (not in boxing), in MMA if you don’t defend yourself intelligently the ref will step in and stop the fight (rare in boxing, they usually wait until you get KO’ed). Mixed Martial Fighters are educated, smart and very respectable human being. Don’t judge a book by its cover, doesn’t mean because you fight in cage you take that to the streets after. Let the sport grow, use that to bring money in your city, make more events. Both the fans and the cities can benefit from this, its revenue, it can be BIG revenue. My point is, there is nothing wrong with this sport, no one ever died from MMA. Lets make this sport grow, isn’t this a free country…

the gloves make little diffrence on the pressure being exerted on the place where the punch landed. bone is harder than glove but the pressure is similar, the crushing shock is taken away by the gloves but not the concusive force. both have the same force but a smaller glove will do more superficial damage because of contact area. ie cut and break skin beacuse a smaller area has to deal with the force. same principal of why bullets kill people very small dense object, "fist without glove" vs bean bags moving at the same rate of speed or force and not causing damage.

Remember this is 1-2 months old. So the current ratings is diffirent. I typed it cuz can't find the ratings in the website.

" It's not one punch that will kill you, its the accumulation of punch after punch after punch."

Fighting isnt about power or accumulation of punches its about getting hit in the right spot and a clean blow to the top of the nose would push a bone in your brain and kill a man and there are lots of deadly strikes that every experienced fighter knows of, my dad used to box and taught me some but was strict about me never using them while playing or even in real fights at school or teaching them to friends, any real boxer would tell you the exact thing.

While a MMA glove may cause more superficial damage, it will also stop the fight sooner than a boxing glove because of the argument that you gave. A smaller glove will do more crunching damage to bone, whereas a boxing glove may hit with the same force but the padding of the glove limits the crunching ability of the blow; I think that people will fall quicker when hit with a crunching shot than a dull shot, thus the boxing match is prolonged, causing more pressure on the brain to be substained.

This is ridiculous.

Of course boxing is more dangerous. Boxers spend the entire fight on their feet......striking.

MMA fights go to the ground and end in sub. Even if a guy gets g'n'p'd he's not absorbing as much damage to the brain....as if he were taking blows to the head for an hour.

Definatly agreed.

[Bluto Blutarsky]

define "safe".

Are we talking long term health concerns or short term?

I think in the long term boxing is definately more dangerous.

In the short term I would say MMA because there is much more potential to take greater damage, have something broken or hit the ground wrong. A sub isn't a sub because it just "hurts" a sub is a sub because if you don't submit you get choked or something gets broken.

i dunno if its safer, but its a ****load more entertaining than boxing.
