Thinking about MMA

Well, its less dangerous than boxing. No standing counts in MMA.


People who generally get into it have alot more experience than you.

No offence but without a minimum 2 years experience in everything youll get slaughtered.

Not alot of amateur fights.

My friend never boxed in his life, but has done wrestling for 3 years and hes doing fine,

Well ive been boxing since March and now i have gotten really interested in MMA and have been watching a lot of UFC, now i kno alot of you people dont like MMA but for the people who have done it or currently doing it, do you guys like it? I have some experience in Tae Kwon Do i dont kno if that'll do much but it taught me the basic kicks and everything and my striking shouldnt be that bad.

You are already as good as anybody because none of them have much skill to speak of. If you have lots of fight in your and you enjoy streetfighting then mma/ufc is the right place for you.

You are an idiot.

lol you cant say something like that and say "dont comment", although i agree MMA is well more dangerous. the gloves they use look even thinner than the ones the old leather tossers used to use (before they made the gloves bigger because people kept dying). plus wtf with the way nobody gets punished for hitting a downed opponent. i rarely see a knockout in MMA that isnt followed by the winning fighter repeatedly smacking the unconscious fighter.

ANYWAY, good for you man, let us know how that goes for you, boxing is sure to help your standing game. I steered clear of MMA to be honest, dont want to seem ignorant or anything but something about two guys in shorts on the floor grappling puts me off........

Here in Britain, they're trying to make UFC and cagefighting tournaments illegal, so technically speaking MMA is more dangerous than boxing.

Well MMA i heard is less dangerous because there are so many different ways you can win in a fight and in boxing your gettin hit in the head almost 90% of the time

[themonk]

either way its pretty dangerous, anbody reckon your body adapts to being hit? like pro boxers take 100's of shots per match that look like they would almost certainly knock a normal person out, you reckon your skull adapts through sparring or something?

astonished at some of the posts here.

LOL... saying MMA fighters have no skill is just absurd, and you are suffering some insecurity issues to even say that. I guess all of the division 1 wrestlers, and olympians competing aren't skilled.... ******.

MMA is a wrestlers sport, and you better learn to grapple. Learn some wrestling then go on down to your local Grapplers Quest or NAGA event. Enter in the advanced division, and if you do not get ****d you may be ready for MMA.
