Well of course MMA won't replace boxing but I disagree that boxing has more drama necessarily. It will always have more drama, atmosphere and the great fights will mean more to the boxing fan but to MMA fans I'm sure they have witnessed some legendary nights in their own sport.

Different people like different things and there is no objective 'best sport' out there.

I enjoy both boxing and MMA. I can't say I really think one is better than the other as they are different sports. I love boxing for its purism and history and I love MMA becuase it's new and fresh. With MMA just evolving in the last 15 years of so we are privaleged enough to be around for it's early evolution.

Guys like the Gracies, Sakuraba, Coutoure etc are the early protagonists, the Jim Jeffrires and John L Sullivans as it were.

Now we are into the golden era of Dempsey, Johnson, Armstrong etc. I think for those who like MMA it's an exciting thing to actually see the sport take shape and develop in front of our eyes.
