Im getting a little of point here so back to comparing boxing and UFC its impossible really, like comparing horse racing and formula one racing - they're two very different sports! A good boxer would have little chance in an MMA fight and a good fighter from the UFC would have little chance fighting under boxing rules. Both can be brilliant in their own field but very hard to compare.
agreed!!!! again like you said its a boxing forum and people are here for boxing not MMA so the dislike is expected but again I have a problem with people being disrespectful when they have 0 knowledge of what there commenting on and then pretent to think its not legit or it will go away when infact its caught up to Boxing and has surpassed it in popularity on a few levels...

I personally Prefer Pride F/C instead of the UFC I think they are marketing it like the WWF... Pride show cases the best fighters from all over the world.. I am excited to see Mirko Crocop and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson have signed contracts with the UFC from Pride.. I am confident they will run the Table in there divisions because of there exposure to fighters from all over the world..
