Boxing or MMA

[Aperion]

Soooo hateful! Granted I agree with the chin tucking, thats just sloppy, i see so many fighters approaching with their chins hanging out with a target on them. REdneck sport really?! really?! how is it that its so big in Japan then? I don't know when the last time you went to japan or brazil was but i dont' remember seeing many rednecks there. Lesnar may be from the WWE but he's isn't the only champ, just the heavyweight. Gsp has black belts in multiple martial arts and BJ penn trained with freddie roach kid!

That's right Lesanr isn't the only champ - People really need to be aware of Fedor who would be the equivalent of the true linear HW champ in MMA. Fighters like Lesnar don't even come close.

With Japanese MMA, the problem is the freakshow aspect of it, I mean, Jose Canseco is fighting Hong Man Choi in what is being called a "Super Hulk Tournament", what a joke.

MMA fighters need to learn to keep their hands up too (Hello Chuck Liddell), and so many of them throw arm punches and don't pivot their feet to put their body weight behind punches.

Which training is the most difficult and will get you in the best shape? My gym offer both training and it seem like the dudes in mma are in better shape. More cut and fit. So im thinking about adding mma training into my boxing routine although I dont want to mma fight. Do anybody else do this? What are your opinions on this? I figure you cant go wrong with training the total body.

MMA training is much more severe because you're using your entire body; but then again if you don't put youself through hell in boxing you're going to get eaten up as well. Actually, MMA training will help you get in super condition for boxing, but the drills really don't apply much.

One of the craziest training sessions i've ever had was some MMA training.

UFC brought MMA to the mass media but for the most part, most of the best MMA fighters aren't even competing in the UFC. PrideFC and other championships hold the better fighters, namely Fedor.
As for Brock Lesnar, I wouldnt call him anything close to a star.

Both. And I've trained competitively [SEE sig] for some time and never gotten ringworm. It all depends on what type of hygiene policy your stable[s] have, and quite simply YOU have. I shower a lot.

On the top world level, there is no athlete comparable to a boxer. Reflexes. Handspeed. Agility. Stamina. Power. Chin. Footspeed. Hand/eye coordination. On top of all that, add the risk of getting your brains beat out. You can't ****in' tap out in boxing like in MMA. If you tap out in boxing you'll get tomatoes and beers thrown at you. You tap out in MMA and it's a big show.

Boxers are second to none. Let's see an MMAer go 12 hard rounds, not gonna happen. You know how many MMAers there are, that started as Boxers and quit because it was too hard? ...

Basketball players have more stamina than your average MMAer.

I was thinking the same thing at the start of his thread. he says the boxers are nto as in good shape in his gym. Must be a **** boxing club. the proof is in the pudding, go to a club with succesful fighters. Then we'll see who's in better shape. Soemtimes MMA bums do tend to be ripped because they do alot fo weight training and end up getting slower, moving up the weight divisions very fast and collecting alot of KO's. You will find this very common in MMA, they like to lick the canvas and still rate the bums just like Couture. Losing is a habit of the MMA fighter, who proudly diosplays TAP OUT (surrender) on his t-shirt!

indeed.

MMa fighters gas and have no defense, they could at least tuck their chins. They are also slow and suck. It is a Redneck sport and they aren't real athletes. Thier champ is from the WWE.

lol you're an idiot, which one of the top fighters fights with no defense exactly? you obviously don't watch it and are just talking out of your ass. As for the redneck sport, here's a P4P list, who would you consider to be a redneck here?

1. Anderson Silva - Brazilian
2. Georges St. Pierrre - French Canadian
3. Fedor Emelianenko - Russian
4. Miguel Torres - Mexican
5. B.J. Penn - Hawaiian
6. Rashad Evans - Black
7. Quinton Jackson - Black
8. Mike Thomas Brown - White
9. Forrest Griffin - White
10. Thiago Alves - Brazilian

that's a pretty diverse list of people for a redneck sport
