The 2008 Olympic USA Men's Freestyle Wrestling Team's aggregate record in professional MMA: 54-5
MMA Is a F level sport.

Cody garbrandt schooled MMA GOAT Cruz using boxing head movement combos etc

Great point. Actually do not know the stats but Judo is the same sort of situation.

I like both sports, but I prefer boxing. That said, I’m not afraid to admit Joe has a point. MMA fighters throw strikes in a way that’s designed for their sport. But in the end, if an MMA guy competes in a boxing match, he’s gonna lose. The same applies in reverse. Apples and oranges, basically.

Young in prime kick boxers against old washed up boxers.

Great point. Actually do not know the stats but Judo is the same sort of situation.

Judo guys need their opponent to wear a gi, they look dazed and con fused if you got topless. You’ll be called a cheater for not giving them something they can hold onto. Striking is uncool in judo. It’s seen as dirty fighting.

The same as not announcing yourself before you fight.

MMA cats have a weird obsession with boxing. Boxing fans don't even mention MMA yet MMA fans always feel the need to bring up boxing

Mixed martial arts.

Yeah, they look at every fighting style, and they think about them a lot, and then they incorporate what works into MMA.

Boxing isn't a mixed martial art, so it doesn't care about what other fighting sports or styles do.

Makes sense, doesn't it?

Roussey dominated for a while and was a Judo prodigy, her mother even more so. took em awhile to catch up

Joe is milking the MMA fanboys as usual. And I don't blame him because that puts food on his table .
Dana White will never offer a very good boxer in his prime now real money to fight an MMA champion at the same weight level. Even under MMA rules.
Because that obsession that MMA beats boxing all the time might just die.
It could one take a one-two to connect.
Joe and Dana freaking know how freaking hard and fast WORLD CLASS BOXERS are .
World class boxers are taught to find openings and exploit it really fast .
Much faster than they do at UFC.
If you've been around professional boxers, you'd freaking know.
World class boxers are beasts.
Bantamweights that can easily knock out freaking heavyweights on the street . Easily.

And I don't care for Joe's argument than Jones would kick the sh8 out of boxers.
Please. You kick, you're on one leg. A boxer sees that kick coming, it might be good night for Jones.
Jones would not stand up against a great boxer. He will have to go to the ground.

******s call it a strike that's why no one takes them seriously

It's this generations WWF basically

Ignorance at its finest.... mma has been around in one form or another for thousands of years....
