Why I don't really respect MMA

[mattboxingfan]

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?

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.
