LOL

If table tennis is a sport, then MMA sure as fuck is. The amount of athleticism, skill and talent required for fighters at the elite level is equivalent to or surpasses any major professional sport.

When MMA is in the Olympics let me know, so I can start stocking up on food and water, because the end is very near. To add to B-hops comments, I would say if you took the baddest s.o.b. in your neighborhood and put him in the UFC, trained him up for three months and then put him against the champ in his weight class, he would have at least a chance to go the distance, or win. Now take that same guy train him to box,and put him in the ring with the champ. in his weight class, and he don't make it to the second round.

Boxing is better because it's a coherent set of rules. MMA tries to melt all styles of fighting into one smorgasbord. But you invariably end up with 2 grown men fumbling around each other like a drunken prom night in San Francisco. It doesn't work for me as a sport, because it's not a sport.

what exactly do we get to see from them? How about - hype, false advertising, reality shows, soap opera personalities, fighters acting like bar thugs and having to fight in a cage like fucking animals - I mean - is there anything you can do to insult an athlete more that this; and most of all a fan base consisting mostly of drunk imbeciles and primitive, aggressive, Spike TV educated morons completely ignorant of this sport.


MMA is boring as fuck, I mean common your on your feet for like a minute then transfer to the floor for the rest of the time, I meen keep a fucking time limit on the shit. By the way if a boxer gets hurt ( liver shot) he better stick it out and box, or hit the ground. But even then he only has 10 seconds, Now for a MMA fighter to get injured he has the option to QUIT, KEEP FIGHTING BACK (stand up) or take him to the ground and rest on top of him for the rest of the round.
ENOUGH SAID

I kind of agree for the most part the ground stuff is really boring after a while. That is unless they are black belts in jujitsu which is pretty awesome to watch.

Didn't they do just that with that Kimbo Slice dude? Didn't he get completely owned? Funny that he brings up thugs off the streets. I'm no expert but I know there's at least a couple guys in the UFC that have an actual education. How many boxers do?


I almost never watch any UFC/MMA fights but this guy is a moron. This is a prime example of an ignorant douche bag, pretending to have an informed opinion on something but really has no idea what he's talking about.

I actually think Kimbo would have a better career boxing, that's like all he does when he fights anyways.
