Oh ok, and I guess by that logic boxing is exactly the same sport it was 20 years ago too, because it's not like the skill of the fighters could become anymore sophisticated. Thanks for confirming that you're living under a rock.
When I wrote that comment it was in reference to an incident that was reported where Darchinyan challenged Rousey to spar grappling with him, and predictably the Judo medalist repeatedly threw the boxer with ease. Darchinyan, not learning his lesson, egged her on even more saying she couldn't armbar him. She took him down and armbarred him immediately and it was broken up by everyone else. Now please go get professional help because your psychological projection is out of control.
To read the comments by boxing elitists makes me come to the realization that they will never educate themselves on combat sports, the history and the techniques involved across the board. The lack of respect is dauntingly unbearable, and borderline pathetic. There is no upperhand to gain by downplaying another combat sport that is thriving and obviously has some of the best athletes in the world. Most MMA fans are boxing fans themselves, and are open minded enough to appreciation the arts.
@MrBoxingpizefighter maybe dana white dosen't respect some fighters but he is promoter same thing with don king and bob arum. not alot fighters use steroids but this happens in every sport even in olympics.
Inhuman? The detrimental effects of boxing in terms of brain damage far outweigh the detriments in MMA. Getting knocked down and getting a count only to get back up and get punched again is far worse for the brain. And plus, because you think it's inhuman, you call it gay?
Vanes doesn't want to fight Kirkland, not after what he did to Angulo who had no excuses that night. Vanes title shot opportunity will weight he is stuck in the division with people he doesn't want to face lower or higher. The big money fight for him would be Canelo Alvarez, JC Chavez, Lara...yeah Vanes you need to stop protecting your record and backing out of big career defining fights and make some good money. Listen to uncle Vic
UFC is the organization, Mixed Martial Arts is the sport. Boring fight in the cage? Street fighters? Fat guys? We are watching two completely different things if thats the case, because I see none of that. As a combat sports fan, I appreciate athleticism, skills and technique from all aspects of combat. I wouldn't be a fan of MMA if that weren't the case. You obviously don't watch it if you truly believe that.
Football isn't in the Olympics, Wrestling (which dates back every bit as far as boxing and was an Olympic sport before amateur boxing) just got dropped from the Olympics, and Tae Kwon Do was in danger of being axed. So again, by your warped logic, all those sports are trashy too. Now you've gone past not caring about making sense, to going out of your way to not make sense.
Sorry about the dry humping part because I did BJJ as a kid I enjoined it and I respect but I don't know how you could respect cage fighting its inhuman and human cruelty
Mixed Martial Arts is trashy, but the fighters respect each other a lot more than most Boxers towards each other. How many altercations occurred during the boxing press conferences alone in comparison to MMA. You're too closed minded to consider anything else but boxing. Please stop.
I find it hilarious how defensive boxing-only fans get. Its okay that boxers are one dimensional and extremely limited. For someone to call punching only a "real fight" shows you people know very little about how combat sports works as a whole. There's a lot more than punching involved. Try taking a knee or kick flush to the face. Watch Uriah Hall KO and tell me otherwise.
Have you been stuck back in time? The UFC hasn't used blood in their ads in over 5 years. The commentators have on several occasions said that "some people like to see blood" but have never..NEVER said that love to see blood. It's in a cage because with takedowns and grappling, you will roll out of a ring. Gatorade has ads with heavy metal music, blood, and sports that cause brain damage. Is Gatorade gay too?
read my point boxing is recognized as a respected sport just like martial arts (not MMA) and sports like basketball theses sports are in the Olympics MMA will never be in the Olympics Because its a Trashy street fight this is the differences between the sports
No its not..breaking arms and ligaments, along with choking an opponent on the ground is far from gay. If a boxer can get man handled by a woman with a grappling background, that tells you something about the limitation of the boxer. Imagine a lower level male Mixed Martial Artist. Once it gets to the feet, there is a lot more than punches which makes the boxer extremely vulnerable and incompetent on the feet. Educate yourself. You boxing elitists are very ignorant, and have no clue about combat
Look boxing is a classy sport there is more money in it's respected all around the world and I had hero's like ali tyson roberson etc and MMA is a fali street fight get it in your head martial arts isn't MMA MMA is trash
kung fu and karate and BBJ is Mixed Martial Art's not UFC its a boring fight in a cage not a sport and most of the street fighters are not athletes there fat guys or really big guys that have not skill that only know how to ground and pound its disgusting to watch for any normal person. so thats the differences between a sport like boxing and a fight like MMA/UFC
@realityIZanILLUSION Most of the fighters have believable physiques - that you could build without steroids. I wondered about Brock Lesnar, he was just so huge and lean, but he's gone now.
Boxing has been around for century's earliest recorded use was the Greeks but the true sport was invented in england Queensberry which were laid down in 1867, Martial Art's has been around for century's also theses sports are arts and UFC and MMA is trash sorry, if I am living under a rock you need a education

Well said!!!
You do realize it's 2013, not 1993, right?
