Bob Arum Unloads: "The UFC is Junk, It's Garbage"

[Pullcounter]

If MMA is for white people what the hell are Anderson Silva, Rampage Jackson, Rashad Evans, Lyoto Machida, the entire nations of Japan and Brazil, Thiago Alves, Cain Velasquez, Cheick Kongo, Jon Jones, Yushin Okami, Karo Parisyan, Takanori Gomi, Hermes Franca, Jose Aldo doing?

its their job

What is wrong with them?

nothing

Don't they know they can only be boxers?

brazil = brazilian jujitsu
japan = jujitsu/karate

Especially people like Silva being champion, how awful he is, man that guy just sucks so much, total garbage and has no idea what the hell he's doing,

silva wants to box

yup, Arum is such a classy intelligent individual.

not classy nor intelligent.

You simply cannot compare apples to oranges.... I personnally don't care for MMA. In my opinion, there's no "art" in mixed martial arts.

Again this is only my opinion, but MMA is never going to have the "class" that boxing has...

I respect the UFC/MMA guys because it takes balls to stare-down an opponent whether you're in a ring or a cage, I just wouldn't pay to see it.

Thank you Bob Arum!
He said it EXACTLY the way it was meant to be said.
He is 100% right about the demographics of MMA .......slow white guys who cant punch and have no chin.

Im not an MMA fan, I'll only watch it it there's a party or it's at the bar. I don't hate it. I just never watch it.
That being said Bob Arum just sounds like an idiot. Like he's a 16 year old girl.

Hey Bob Arum how about you work on your own promoting and make goodfights with good undercards. Instead of stacking your **** with a bunch of fights that are over in 2 rounds.

Why even say anything, just bring us good boxing please. That's all I give a ****. What do MMA and boxing have to do with each. Only people that try to pit them against each other, thats why there is all this animosity.

This is ridiclious, I don't go to ANY sporting events because the seats are filled with boozed up meathead idiots, regardless of the sport.

Gina isn't hot, their are a lot better looking female fighters.

And go to a gym tough guy and find some female fighters and tell them its only a spectacle.

You don't even know the sport! It's MMA not UFC, what the hell is wrong with people? That's like "OOO, lets go play some NBA!" Or "I want to go play some NFL"

How exactly is it inferior? Do people who think like you have any clue how to integrate a combination of martial arts? No, of course not. It's combat sports, it's not possible for one to be superior to another, there is only personal preference.

Boxing has better athletes, is a polished product, is/take a lot longer to conquer/become a world champion. When MMA produces an Ali we'll talk. Or maybe produce fighters that carry their backs on their nations. UFC is the hot thing in North America ages 18-35.

The most exciting aspect of MMA according to most fans I know is the striking. Hello Boxing. Sure boxing has dud fights, corruption, too many sanctioning bodies, too many beltholders, etc etc. I understand that. But show me MMA's version of Barrera-Morales, or Castillo-Corrales, or Gatti Ward, or Bowe-Holyfield, Leanord-Hearns etc etc etc. Boxing at it's very best cant be matched by anything MMA can produde. Not financially, not globally, not sponsor wise. History shows this.

Im pretty sure Arum doesn't care though. Way he sees it, it possible he could die at anytime, with his old ass haha.

I tried to like MMA once before.. really tried.

I couldn't.

During a recent talk with MMA Fanhouse, Top Rank's Bob Arum unloaded some big shots at the UFC and Mixed Martial Arts. Arum's recent comments land on the eve of UFC president Dana White's recent negative comments about boxing and the Floyd Mayweather-Juan Manuel Marquez pay-per-view. [details]

I have to agree with Bob Arum ufc is junk. I can't sit and watch a ufc fight it doesn't interested me. Boxing is better in every way.

[VipersThunder]

It's about time somebody called out the UFC on their *******ual antics.
