Media mainstream sportscenter starts show with mma vs boxing debate

[amat]

Ufc is no different from a street fight. a street fight can end on one lucky punch.

Because I can't count the number of times I've seen a perfectly executed triangle or a knee bar on the pavement downtown

These "trained" fighters get 6 digit paychecks and their work is usually done in under 5 minutes.

What are you trying to imply? That MMAers don't train? And no, 6 digit pay checks is not the norm in the UFC. When Evan Tanner and David Terrell fought for the title, Tanner got $30,000 as the champion and a $5,000 winning bonus. Far from 6 digits and that was a championship fight.

I don't see dana white handing out paychecks to everyone who gets in a moderately entertaining street fight. Quit trying to glamorize a pussified street fight as an actual sport.

Glamorize? I think this sport is the least glamorous of all the sports on the market. And the street fighting angle is just ridiculous.

Either enter a real sport (boxing or the others i've listed) or make your money on the street illegally don't try and market this pussy shit you call mma as a legitimate sport. Kickboxing is a sport. Boxing is a sport. Wrestling (collegiate) is a sport. Practicing and competing in various forms of respective martial arts is a sport (karate, tae kwon do, muai thai, jui jitsu etc.) Putting them all together is not a sport.

What is a sport then? An athletic competition that is engaged within a certain set of rules? MMA is probably the most competitive sport to, where ANYONE has a chance. And very rarely is a fight incredibly boring. This post is shit. Honestly it is, your judgement is so damn clouded it's ridiculous. Hate to do it but SC.
