Should we be worried? UFC taking over Boxing??

[VictorCharlie]

You can't take UFC seriously for a second.

First of all UFC is only one orginization in the sport of MMA.
MMA is a sport which requires great athleticism, great technical and scientific skill in an assortment of disciplines and a great dedication in training. Anyone that says different is simply ignorant about the sport and just making baseless uneducated comments. Entertainment value is purely subjective but the skill and athleticism of the MMA athlete can't be questioned.

I'm not questioning their commitment or dedication i'm saying the skill level is way below that of Boxing !!

Its all about Margins of error!! Whilst i don't argue that Matt Hughes is the best at what he does i'm saying UFC is a c plus sport Millions of people from all round the world take up Boxing and Thousands compete both in amatuer form and Professional codes .

UFC is a Fringe sport popular in America,Boxing is competed in worldwide and therefore has a far greater pool of talent of which only a few will reach top level .

You wouldn't dream of comparing Matt Hughes to Joe Calzaghe or Roy Jones because in terms of skill , speed and athletiscim there is no comparison .

UFC isn't a sport its an orginization. MMA is a sport that is wilidly popular worldwide. Especially in Asia, South America and Eastern Europe. Pride sells out huge arenas in Japan all the time. Many of its teams are based out of Brazil. Hughes is every bit the athelete that any boxer in the world is. The man was a world class freestyle wrestler before he started fighting. You might as well say that Lance Armstrong isn't an athelete and his sport doesn't count b/c its "fringe" Look man you obviously know absolutely nothing about the sport and simply want to bash b/c its not you bag of tea. So just walk away and stop embarrasing yourself
