Ok just checked out some MMA/UFC fight, why the hell is that crap compared to boxing?

As a UK fan I don’t get much exposure to this "sport" so I thought with a lot of people talking about it over in Amercia I would check some highlights and a few fights out on youtube. After about 5 fights and some submission highlights plus I saw a fight in walkabout I have come to the conclusion that its simply dreadful. I mean I just can’t believe that anyone would even consider that to be better to watch than boxing. The submission are comical the punching technique was a total joke the kicks made the guys look like a bunch of girls (at one point I burst out laughing). People moan about the holding in boxing but it seemed even worse in the MMA fights I watched but I suppose that’s the point.

This is no offence to guys that like MMA but I just don’t see what you see in it, I am unsure why with the long history and tradition of quality boxing in America that the country would even consider dumping it for that trash stuff.

what!!??? im from the UK and i cant think of many people who havent heard of it? do you live on the Isle of Man or something?

its 2011 for christ sake, knowledge through technology is at your finger tips, did you carve your post on a stone tablet? did you watch the MMA on a black n white TV

but in the main, i agree with what you say

sometimes theres even 3 champions fighting on the same night under different class. u will never see this in boxing. in boxing only the main event is worth watching. when people buy ppv for boxing its for the main event.

There used to be 3 title fights in one night in boxing too. Eventually guys in the ufc will realise Dana is raping them and go it alone and you'll see the same things happen that happened to boxing. Only once UFC dies mma will be a niche sport again.
