After getting into UFC, boxing has become so boring

[Szef]

No not for those guys and I doubt anyone did. There can be more of a 'grand' feeling to big heavyweight boxing events, but there was incredible electricity and anticipation for both McGregor vs Diaz II and Khabib - both of which easily outperformed any big boxing fight in terms of buys etc.

Well MMA is a much younger sport than Boxing obviously, so what you're witnessing when you watch UFC is history being made every time. the sport is developing at an insane pace right in front of our eyes.

I would say UFC generally has a more 'cool' feeling and boxing at its best is incredible of course, but the norm is that it's an old sport. That's the feeling I get.

Jon jones is definitely one of the greatest mma fighters of all time, he could even be the best.

The biggest fight in recent years or of all time for that matter is a boxing fight. As is the second biggest

^^^^

The “biggest fight of all time” and “best fighter of all time” is still being thrown around every couple of months. It’s a baby of a sport.

myself and my brother watch both, there is no hiding 'building your career' in the ufc fighting bums and then getting a belt and then declaring yourself a true champ while avoiding anyone who doesn't fit the profile, if boxing could gt its matchmaking in order that would be great we might actualy know who is the best in the division, u know who is in the ufc but if u don't like wrestling some matches can be a bit tiresome, stand em up they cry plus im not sure how many of their athletes are actually clean, lot of em look roided to me

There are levels in boxing, domestic, National, European and then world level 'There are no levels in the UFC, its the top-end of that particular sport' before fighters reach the UFC, they have already progressed through the levels.

Boxing operates as you can see? Entirely different. I don't look at it as a negative 'Watching a fighter go through the levels, is all apart of the journey in boxing'.

You don't get to witness that journey in the UFC.

The UFC HW division is at one of its weaker points while HW boxing has gotten big again. Go back before the Fury/AJ/Wilder resurgence and HW MMA felt far more relevant than Wlad fighting guys like Wach in Germany.



Its because practically everyone agrees that the Mt Rushmore is Jones, GSP, Anderson and Fedor but nobody agrees on how to rank them. Its not that they misunderstand the term.

HW MMA felt more relevant to who? You?

It was just an example. The most prestigious divisions in boxing outshine their MMA counterparts to this day and it will stay this way. Boxing always bounces back

All the MMA 'GOATs' are still active fighters except GSP and he may come back to fight another 'GOAT' soon too

Like I said, I can't take UFC seriously

Even though the world titles have decreased in prestige in the sport boxing, they are still more prestigious then the UFC titles which in all honesty? Look and project the same kind of image that you see in the WWE.

'You have independently, picked up on what I was alluding to? 'Every single fighter inside the UFC seems to be a all-time great, or 1-2 fights away from becoming a all-time great' THIS is how they are promoted. The commentators/presenters are incessantly overly dramatic 'Exactly like in the WWE, I am sure other people have also picked up on this'.

Where as in the sport of Boxing? fans/professionals inside the sport are extremely self critical, it takes a lot for fighters to gain universal respect and accreditation 'This is why the big fights in boxing feel more real, and are more real'.

Yeah UFC definitely resembles WWE

yes we know and they were both super stinkers

The skill level of ufc fights is caveman like but if you prefer that that’s all you.

The problem with boxing is these entitled euro fighters that have done ****ttt yet they feel they are owed something

LOL whutz caveman skill level? All boxers have to do is punch. MMA fighters have MULTIPLE COMBAT disciplines to learn.

The only pro boxer who has any kind of expertise in other MA currently is Lomachneko (BB in both Judo and Sambo).

That man can transition into MMA and become a god because he has a grappling background.

yes we know and they were both super stinkers

And? Does that changes the fact that still more people gave a shyt about them?

Exactly

Brock Lesnar became their HW champion in his 3rd fight lol

80% of time these ufc fights are pretty much b-class wannabe boxing matches, i can understand why it's entertaining but it is more
of wwe taking step further than real sport.
And thats why it's always be compared to boxing.
if these guys in ufc would do what they do best (grappling, wrestling)nobody would watch.
