I challenge you to find a HW championship fight without clinching in most rounds...or hugging as you call it

there aren't many and we COMPLAIN about it as boxing fans. You mma fans like the rolling around on the ground thats the difference.

Lyle I can do this too

....and Kimbo is fighting Ray Mercer in? Anyone??Anyone??

MMA


it's a damn shame.....keep digging you may be able to find some bad boxers, we all know they are out there but just not in as much abundance as MMA fighters

you decide

give me a break man both sports are valid..both have great fights and both have snore fests
entertainment is subjective...there is no reason to bash the fighters and their fans b/c its not your bag

it might be me but i still found the bottom one better. Dude was wide open for the uppercut and he paid for it as opposed to the top screen where the one guy was against the ropes wide open and the other one in all his vast knowledge of fighting couldn't do anything to him.

....I think it's more of a statement about our society.....kids don't know the propper way to fight now'a'days...


No kicking
no biting
no hugging
no scratching
and no screaming like a little girl (Joe Rogan)!!!!







also more importantly

No weapons
No extra help (one on one and that's it)

i saw what every fight in the world should be in a middleschool hallway a few years ago. These two little kids were talking mad shit to each other. Then the one kid said "shit i lost my contact" they both looked for it, found it, set it aside and then started annihilating each other it was classic.

Fucking rights, that's the way it should be... ah the good ole' days, when you didn't see 15 people kicking one dude who's laying on the ground.

12 rounds > 5 rounds

....people have no morals and no class these days....THANKS MMA.....actually it's more dumbass kids trying to be all hard when in actuality I would rather my kid (if I had a kid) fight someone boxing or MMA ONE ON ONE rather than do this mob violence.

It's easy to be on the winning side with a group against another group or even an individual but it's hard to stand up for yourself as an individual and fight for yourself until you can't go anymore

[VictorCharlie]

well I hate to be cliche Lyle but opinions are like assholes..everyones got one....but thanks for another uninformed absurdity

Why is MMA less moral than boxing? There are no corrupt judges, no 'seeming' match fixing, the top fighters don't try and manouvere themselves out of challenging the best.

They don't raise the price of their PPV's to 59.95 when they finally put on a big fight.

No fighter has ever been killed during an MMA event, in the UFC at least. The UFC promoters arn't fleecing the fighters, the biggest MMA star in history hasn't served time for rape and been repeatedly charged with indecent assualts, GBH, drug charges etc.

No UFC fighter has shot their promoter, or killed a well known commentator's brother.

I'd say if anything MMA is more moral than boxing not less.

Fair enough point,but in all honesty,for those of us who have done the martial arts,that chick fight is indeed what UFC looks like

[El Kabong]

.....yeah ground and pound + hair pulling and scratching....both very legitimate UFC tactics hahaha

[SweetPea]

If Joe Rogan is your figurehead,your in deep S*** as a sport

Hey, Don King has been boxing's figurehead for a long time. I don't think that's much better.
