It’s a lot more enjoyable for me when they’re striking from the stand up position because that resembles boxing a lot more and to me, it’s more visually appealing than the ground game. Some of their striking isn’t even that bad and makes me think they could do okay in boxing.
I’ll always pick boxing over UFC though.
I remember I couldn’t make a UFC gathering one night. It also happened to be the same night that Williams lost to Rosario last winter in an upset. It was a great match. I asked my one friend how the UFC card was. He said it sucked. I told him he should’ve watched boxing that night.
They following trends and whatever large groups of society are doing etc 'They don't know what they like, they get told what they like' The thread starter does not know what he likes, because he is a weasel 'People like this will chop and change, like the weather'.
Plus as Bernard Hopkins once stated? We live in a microwavable age, the UFC is like sugar for all these weasels 'Their shot of sugar and Junk food'.
I have no issue with Martial Arts, as I participated in it myself 'I just dislike the culture with surrounds mixed martial arts'.Last edited by PRINCEKOOL; 10-25-2020, 12:30 PM.

It says a lot about where the two sports are at these days tbh.
This is true and its why it makes me laugh when some people get annoyed if you say one does certain things better than the other. As though its an all or nothing situation and you can only watch one and must defend it blindly. You could think MMA is 10x better but still want to watch Fury, AJ, Loma, Canelo, GGG, Wilder, Spence, Crawford etc etc. I used to love K-1 back in the day too.

Boxing has major flaws, but it’s boxing all the way for me.
We’ve had this conversation so many times in the past, but the fact remains that boxing is still here.
I’ll sit down and watch UFC fights with friends idc, but I can’t connect to the sport the way I connect to boxing. Boxing, to me, is much more accessible. I don’t understand all the finer points of MMA, the different striking styles, or the grabbling styles, the rolling, that’s a foreign language to me. I also don’t know any of the fighters names or anything about them.
Look UFC is fun and its easy to watch and it’s understandable that the matchmaking is better and there’s a reason for that. UFC is a league the way NFL is a league. Boxing doesn’t have that. You have different promotional companies like Top Rank, PBC, Golden Boy being the big ones and their biggest stars don’t fight each other because they don’t want to split profits.
If boxing was dead, you wouldn’t have McGregor putting on boxing gloves.
And for those who say boxing is boring, I just tell them to put on Zepeda vs Baranchyk. To me, that’s much more exciting than any UFC fight.
And I have friends who watch both boxing and UFC, so there’s no reason why someone could be a general “combat sports” fan.
