No you're not the only one; some love it some don't.
Not everyone has the ability to box but like combat sports and want to compete. Some people grow up in areas where there aren't boxing gyms and learn wrestling from a young age, places like the midwest USA where wrestling is ingrained in them like football or baseball. Then they try to make it in MMA and learn some rudimentary boxing and other arts just because they like to compete. Guys like Marcus Davis who was a pro boxer but not ever going to be elite, so he transitioned into MMA because he likes to fight.
They are tremendous athletes though, for the most part, so give em' credit at least a bit.

Yes cars going in circles = roundabouts = gay.
cars going in ovals = ultimate american sport = kick ass. |

Not the greatest Season of TUF to watch; not because us Yanks lost but because these guys get worse each season it seems. Though credit to the Brits they came to fight and were unified the whole way through; the US guys for the most part were snivelling nobs. |

Punch Power: 327 | | Re: Am I the only one. Entertainment is subjective. I enjoy watching both sports. Not b/c one sport has better athletes or the sport takes more skill or any of that shit, but I watch a lot more MMA now days b/c I think I get a better product for my money. I see more fights on free TV, I see more fights on PPV and barring a select few the fights that need to happen do happen. When people say they just don't enjoy watching it I understand, but when people over simplify it or attempt to take away from the tremendous skill and world class athleticism of MMA fighters it pisses me off.

Punch Power: 327 | | Re: Am I the only one. Out of the 9 seasons this last one was definitely in the bottom 3. You can totally blame the American team for that as well. On average they had several more fights than their counterpart but looked really poor outside of Demarques. All the bitching and complaining really irritated me. I DVR'd the episodes and just fast forwarded to the fights every time. |
