So I watched a UFC fight for the very first time.... Absolutely horrendous

[Lomadeaux]

You do understand that 90% percent of Professional mma fighters have some combat sport background right. Stop lying to people, average Joe's with only 6 months in training isn't going to be able to step into the UFC and fight.

Your making boxing fans look like idiots.

Brock Lesnar never fought ever before UFC.

What else you got?

[TRTboy]

I only follow certain fighters and only watch the really big fights.

Khabib vs Tony should be a great fight.

I like watching Adesanya do his thing. I used to like McGregor when he was coming up and starching dudes.

Boxing is ****ing lame with the best rarely fighting the best so having MMA is great for a fight fix. Watching boxing mismatches is just as boring as watching lay n pray in MMA

[Citizen Koba]

You can appreciate the skill and subtleties of MMA grappling and still find in to be less than entertaining. That's the boat I'm in.

Ha well, I certainly can't fault anyone for that, taste is taste, and I too prefer watching boxing, but I enjoy both.

You don’t understand how it works, Brock Lesnar had a deep wrestling background. Being a great wrestler goes a long way in that sport and even then he won the title in a very weak era.

You make it sound like a guy with zero combat experience can train for 6 months and have success. CM Punk is a fitting example of how that isn’t the case. You must have an area of combat you have extensive training in whether a form of striking, wrestling or jiu-jutsu.

I’m a boxing fan first and always will be but UFC definitely has its appeal, especially with how it’s run as an organisation.

[JOITATS]

what an ignorant view of mma
the same uneducated view has been said of boxing

every sport has the same high level of skill, strategy, etc.

[BadMedicin3]

Brutal and barbaric? How many boxers died after fighting in the ring again?

[BoomBapTrap]

MMA is better than boxing.

What I'm telling you...

Is that you could have NEVER fought in MMA... and can beat high level competition and even come a world champion within a couple of years.

It's been done before.

That CAN NOT happen in boxing. That's all I'm saying.

Yes because there are multiple disciplines in MMA..... you have boxers, kick boxers, wrestlers, people who practice judo, Taekwando etc. It’s not comparable to boxing at all.

And there’s no politics so people don’t get to pick and choose what styles and opponents they want to face off against. People get found out real quick over there.

Its aggy how boxing fans generalize MMA fights when alot of their fights are stay on the feet.

Its no diffrent than guys saying boxers are boring and just jab hug and clinch
