Can't stand the UFC, it's where athletes who were not good enough to take up a proper professional sport go.
My god.. Where do i start ?
what a retarded statement... I would consider typing a proper response but I dont think the intelligence of your post warrants it.
Want to try to justify your post a little bit ?
PS - I prefer boxing, i do boxing, but I do respect UFC and MMA
Re: Mike Tyson Fighting again For PRIDE
Yea, right. This is just the start of Tyson getting ready again, then one day he wants to fight Evander again. :)
Re: Mike Tyson Fighting again For PRIDE
Liddel has never ever faced a guy who can punch as hard as Tyson (one of the biggest punchers of all time), and remeber there is hardly any padding on those gloves, so Tyson can easily fuck him up if he lands.
But Liddel can take him to the floor though and do those leg kicks to keep mike away, Mike is washed up now so he dosen't stand a chance....but he'd have a better one in his prime.

I don't think I even need to justify it, just look at the participants. UFC is for part timers who arn't good enough to go in to professional sport, so they 'play' fighting at weekends on UFC bouts.
The UFC is kind of sporting equivalent of the National Guard or Territorial Army, where a bunch of shop keepers, office workers, pizza delivery boys etc go to think they are part of the army.
But it's just my opinion so don't sweat it. If you like it, thats great ;)

I agree completely... THere's very little talent on display in the UFC I hate it. Just look at the stupid reality TV show, and then consider that those fools have actually become top UFC fighters and attractions since the show..

Ha glad someone agrees with me. In my opinion UFC is to professional sport what Paintball is to professional warfare ;D
Re: Mike Tyson Fighting again For PRIDE
i don't understand how some people are too ignorant to respect what MMA do
if you can't understand that then you must be a pretty shitty boxer
MMA aren't boxers, why would anyone expect them to be able to punch like tyson.
not even all boxers have perfected every one of their punches (sraight, left and right hook, uppercut)
i mean compare the amount of tools there are in boxing compared to MMA
if a boxer can't perfect all the punches why would you expect a MMA to be a perfect puncher plus perfect all of their kicks and grapples.
and on top of that, there's more defense involved in MMA.
the speed of a punch is also much much faster in MMA than in boxing.
all i ask is that certain "boxers" on this forum just open their eyes and appreciate what MMA do.
i do agree that there are alot of taxi drivers in the UFC, but there's also alot of elite fighters that people don't know about because the sport is still fairly new that will inevitably blow up and have all the haters on the bandwagon.
it sure as hell beats the talent pool in the heavyweight boxing division which is "a professional sport" hahaha
i'd like to see james toney in the ring with fedor emelianko ahhahaa

I appreciate what they do, but I don't think that there are many talented athletes involved in MMA... You would find vastly better skills in individual martial arts, of which boxing is one.......
Re: Mike Tyson Fighting again For PRIDE
p4pking
unless you actually watch MMA (please stop referring to it as the UFC) then i can't respect your opinion on this matter.
i watch both MMA and boxing so i actually know what im talking about on both topics.

It's great if you enjoy it thats the main thing. And the greatest thing about it is if you really like it, work out a couple times a week, maybe join a martial arts class and within a couple months you could in there fighting.
It's a hobby for thugs not a real sport. Don't be offended, but equally don't force people here on a boxing forum to appreciate it.
I do watch it sometimes but I view it with same level of respect that I do watching World Wildest Street Brawls or Bumfights.
Re: Mike Tyson Fighting again For PRIDE
yes, MMA is exactly like street fights....
and you are not an idiot.
