Why I don't really respect MMA

[El Kabong]

One persons opinion make you not respect a whole sport? There's plenty of dick's in boxing but that doesn't make me not respect the sport. Open your eyes there's more to mixed martial arts than Junior Dos Santos.

I don't care for the sport, I don't care for their brands, I don't care for their personalities, and that's what they sell. The UFC sells being a douchebag and certain people buy it......namely douchebags. Wladimir has been respectful of the sport and its stars, but Wlad's a top notch guy so you expect that sort of thing. I hadn't heard much of Dos Santos before but apparently he's a dickhead. If he thinks boxing is so damned easy then why not come and make some real money

JDS is one of the sports nicest guy's. Came up from nothing to being the UFC heavyweight champion. For his last fight he brought a poor Brazilian kid to the US to watch his fight simply because he asked him if he would.

If we are generalizing I don't particularly like red neck, racist, hillbilly's who love shooting there gun's and drinking moonshine!

I'm fighting a losing battle here you guy's are too one track minded. Sorry guy's but have fun attacking that 'sport' MMA as if those cage fighters have skill right?

[TheBoxingFanatic]

MMA is what it is. No an MMA fighter wont beat a boxer in a boxing match. That is pure stupidity. MMA is so blunt and sloppy boxing wise that any notable boxer likely knocks out most MMA fighters as they have no defense.

I don't care what people say, But I hated Pride. It's like a f'n bull fight. Stomping faces? Headbutting? Are you animals

Modern UFC I actually watch regularly. It is OK but Boxing is a much more technically sound and for me much more entertaining sport nevertheless.

Junior dos Santos says he could knock out Wladimir Klitschko - ESPN

Really Junior Really

Dos Santos says "Guys don't finish fights anymore".....I guess he's overlooking Wlad's 50 KO's from his 58 wins. Yet Dos Santos says he's sticking with MMA because "boxing is going down". If they decided to box today, tomorrow, or 10 years from now Wlad would win and he'd win by KO....sorry Junior, you're out of your element

I would take Audley Harrison to beat dos Santos

And he made sure everybody knew he brought the kid with him. He just did it for the publicity. Soon as he won he called for the kid. Had to make sure everybody got a picture of him and the poor, homelss kid. I doubt he even gives a fuck about the kid

haha Pretty cynical view there VD, but you could be right. I remember the whole homeless kid thing and it did feel like he was exploiting him a bit.

Imp, you are right about everything you said except Anderson Silva being competitive with top light heavyweights in pure boxing.

Anderson Da Silva : Boxer

1-1 pro boxers typically don't fare well with top 10 contenders or world champs.

As far as mma goes though, Silva is a bit like the Roy Jones of his sport, along with Jon Jones of course.

lots of people think Ali was a douche with some of the things he said and did....

just saying...

Hey look Lyle found some fellow MMA haters to beat off with. I must have missed the posts where you all railed against Floyd and other boxers when they said they could dismantle any MMA fighter in the Octagon. Top MMA fighters are world class athletes. Entertainment is subjective but skill and athleticism isn't. You are welcome not to like watching MMA but if you can't see that the top fighters in the UFC are great athletes and skilled then you are just ignorant and have some complex about your sport being better than another. Now regarding the classic "MMA fans are dewshs" and then spewing racial slurs about them; some of you have very selective memory about how boxing fans have acted at times. Comparing these sports is apple to oranges and stupid. I don't think JDS beats any decent HW boxer but I love watching you ignorant f*cks cry about it when he suggests he could.

Yes, and your point is?


VC, I never said anything racist about JDS, I just thought he could have been a bit classier. James Toney talked shit about MMA and got humbled in the octagon, but the deal is the guy was talking shit about EVERYBODY because he wanted to get a fight. Floyd Mayweather talked trash but nobody is saying that guy is a saint. I agree with you, they're two totally different sports, so why does JDS fall into this trap?

Let me be clear, people that wear Tapout are douchebags....that is a statement I stand by and will not retract.

I agree with this :S ufc seems to be marketed at errr well tits to be nice


it is an interesting sport though and the wrestling is very technical but I just find that part of it very boring a lot of time, so I don't watch it much... I do have respect for it as a sport and for the skill in wrestling, ju jitsu and judo and so on... I did judo before and it's not easy.
