Comments Thread For: Chuck Liddell Disagrees With McGregor on Mayweather and MMA

If you box, you've never fought on the streets. Funny thing is, it's easier to stuff a takedown than it is to slip a jab.

One thing MMA groupies forget , talent , there is MUCH less talent in MMA in comparison to boxing , mainly because of money and amateur system (Olympics is a big thing for young athletes).
When you are a young top athlete what sport are you going to take ? probably the one with the most money and fame and thats NOT MMA , they are having hard times getting real talent , their HW champ is a firefighter , their biggest star was a plumber 5 years ago , they just dont have the top talent.
The best Boxer/MMA fighter right now from a talent and potential pov is probably playing football/basketball/baseball , thats where the money and fame are.
MMA with their really weak pay structure cannot get the top guys , their best talent is at the smaller weights where those fighters couldnt do anything else , not boxing (not good enough) not the big sports (too small).
Chuck was in the golden era of MMA , but in reality he is a d level athlete and thats fact.
You look at UFC current stars , its Conor and thats it , nothing coming up , they sold their soul to promote Conor and now he is their god , the promotion screwed up big time , he does what he wants , and their main selling point of matchmaking is done for a while , they let him fight whoever he wants , not defend his titles , they are letting GSP come back from retirment and fight again for a title , i think they are declining BIG TIME.

Holm has been a kickboxer from day 1.

She had 3 fights as a kickboxer lol and 33 as a professional boxer. She's a boxer. So like I said 3 Boxers have already gone into MMA and KTFO out of contenders. 50 yr old Ray Mercer did it to 30 year Tim Sylvia on 6days notice

Exactly that's why you didn't see Floyd in UFC get taken down choked out too smart boxer almost always beats UFC UFC almost always beats boxer it's very logical if you think about it

She started off as an amateur kickboxer and has always been trained by a kickboxing trainer...she trains at a mma gym ffs. The fact that she competed on that level at boxing is a testament to her talent and how weak the level of competition in women's boxing is overall.

Ain't nobody trying to arm bar in the streets. most street fights are stand up punches, if there's no weapon involved. any real MMA fighter will tell you that MMA is not good for street fighting. Would be a hell of a lot of laughs watching someone try to grapple in a street fight. This coming from someone who had more street fights than I can remember.

Under MMA rules McGregor would have finished off Mayweather in the first round

Try first minute at most

[Boxing Goat]

No power. Floyd by brutal KO

I'm coming to understand that you're either a troll or just flat out ******

[Boxing Goat]

Not as pretty because it wont work? Lol somebody show him Holm beating Rouseys ass using primarily boxing, that was ****ing beautiful

Honestly, have you followed Hollys mma career? Do you know what sets he apart from other female mma fighters?

Depends on who is trying to take you down and whos throwing the jab obviously. Don't be naive.
