Boxers would be absolutely lost the first time they experienced a kick to their legs

I don’t get why some of you are in a boxing forum. Don’t you realize that you’re viewed as a mosquito that won’t stfu? I suppose not. Haven’t met too many bright MMA fans. Their forums are flooded with brainless folk.

Translation "MMA forums have more traffic"

Yeah but they adapt it to an MMA context and have to try and seamlessly blend it all together in one toolbox, which is an art in and of itself. Fedor who you already mentioned was a perfect example, how he would throw lighting quick flurries on the feet to get people to cover up and then would seamlessly lunge into grappling range, take opponents down and bombard them with strikes and sub attempts on the ground, it was all so fluid.

Bingo. The fight last night between Khabib and Garth was a great example of that.

Garth had an NCAA division 1 wrestling background, is a great MMA striker but he was ultimately lacking in BJJ which allowed him to get choked out.

I'm not a huge Khabib fan but he really had it all striking, wrestling and grappling, that is art.

TikTok has a lot of traffic as well.

Who cares though? MMA is an ugly ass sport imo.

I was surprised with how the stand up exchanges went. I thought Gaethje would have a major advantage there but Khabib held his own. And in the end Gaethjes wrestling background did absolutely nothing for him.

Come on man lol.

I don't understand this influx of mma supporters on here who don't like boxing. You like and prefer mma over boxing that's cool. I don't have a problem with that. Two different sports.

The one thing I find interesting is that from what I can see is that mma is all under one league with a huge promotion push. Imagine if Canelo, Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury, Gennady Golovkin, Manny Pacquiao, Usyk, Inoue, Teofimo Lopez, Ryan Garcia and all the best boxers were under one company that would be insane.

The metric that I think is if something is insanely popular follow the money. Boxers are BY FAR higher earners than mma fighters.

Don’t knock it unless you understand it. Hopefully all those little kids you pal around with, aka mma fans, grow older n wiser than you are and learn to respect boxing the way it should be respected.
Have a good day.

That's a good question. For reference we've seen the top MMA guy Conor take TBE Floyd Mayweather to 10 rounds.

The top boxing guy James Toney got submitted in about 30 seconds when he tried MMA.

****** comparison. James Toney was WELL past his prime. He was nothing more than a blown up and out of shape middleweight and over a decade removed from top form.

McGregor was and still is near his prime and in top shape and condition.

These comparisons are ******. Boxers win in boxing matches. MMA guys win in MMA matches. Each sport has their own respective fanbases and some people like to watch both.

In a real street fight, the first guy who resorts to dirty tactics (low blows, eye gouging, groin shots) will win. Street fights have no rules.

This thread is toxic and in all honesty, should be locked from further responses as it is a pointless thread that has been endlessly discussed countless times before.

Even if a top UFC fighter came into boxing, and started winning? I would not be bothered, as I do kind of like the cross over matches 'But I think it is fair to have those fights happen inside a boxing ring' because boxing is not a alien discipline to Mixed Martial Art fighters etc.

All of these debates originate from 'People in the Mixed Martial Arts world believing? They are the more superior athletes, the most feared athletes on the face of the planet' This is the attitude which the sport installs in its participants 'On all levels' it is apart of the culture.

I have come across this culture in my life 'Boxing does not have that same culture'.
