If we say MMA as we know it started circa 1990 then boxing has 90 something fatalities through 2007 to MMA's 3. I'd imagine if we added the last three years boxing would be over 100 to MMA's 3. Hard to argue MMA's barbaric nature against those numbers. Entertainment value is subjective but to argue the athleticism, talent or sportsmanship of most MMA fighters is pretty silly to me.
