They call UFC, WEC, and all that other crap "mixed martial arts" but the only style you see are a bunch of guys on the floor hugging each other. If I wanted to watch that I would've stayed in Turkey. Boxing takes way more skill and is way more physically demanding than MMA hands down. I liked the early UFC but it sucks ass now.

mma isn't street fighting. in a street fight you can do anything to win. attack the balls and eyes and you'll win any fight

UFC doesn't mimick real fighting at all because of aforementioned rules. No strikes to back of head, no knees to grounded opponents, no kicks to the head of grounded opponents (includes stomps), or even kneeling opponents. These rules make the fights weak imo. The only reason jon jones can come out crouched like he does is because he can't be kicked or kneed in the face. I've seen guys taking punishment on their knees dip their head and expose their neck to AVOID being hit!. I'm no pride fanboy, but I think they had it right with allowing all of these things. The fights are much more brutal and realistic. If you are on the ground and someone is on top of you, you are in waaaay more trouble if they can knee and stomp the hell out of you. That's the way it should be imo.

MMA was better with Pride rules - knees to the head and kicking people when they were down made for much quicker fights.

Its a business and they all make money, they are f*ckin herbs who act all hard. Boxing is the real deal, if you want to make money for fighting do boxing where it is real man to man. Tank Abbott was the REAL AND TRUE Ultimate Fighter he was the guy who f*cked people up for real.

First, MMA is not gay as balls do not touch.
Second, boxing champions will lose if they fought MMA champions because MMA champions are superior fighters and boxers will be put on the ground and punched in the nose until they give up or get KO'ed.
Third, boxing is not growing up while MMA is. Boxing inevitably will stop being the top fighting sport in the world and there is nothing that boxingfags can do anymore.

MMA is crap, definitely is not a sport. Grappling is for guys who cannot fight standing up. This whole fad is just another example of history being forgotten so we have to bear nonsense until the obvious is seen. Kick boxing, wrestling throws, ok, but stop there. What you have now in competition is nothing more than trash fighting.

Monks from Thailand China and so on. True martial artists who devote their lives to better themsevles and the world through a fighting. Concepts angles disntance, and the feel. Not to mention spiritual awareness. These fighters at UFC are bullshit, greedy assholes who only commit to few techniques for personal gain.

Ok people some of the big mma and UFC fighters had trained in some type of martial art but the new people have no respect, stop being so self contaned with the mma is the best shit it's not put one of the new mma fighters in a match with a taekwondo master or a hapkido master and see what happens
Most of the anti-MMA fags in this thread are fucking retarded. Where did this notion that UFC fighters are allowed to grab/attack eachothers crotches come from? This simply isn't the case...and this belief that all UFC fights are ground fights. Have you ever even watched UFC? PLENTY of fights are fought completely standing up. MMA literally INCLUDES boxing as there are many MMA fighters who are trained to strike and use boxing-style methods as their primary game. MMA is boxing plus added personalization and creativity. Now how is that 'less' of an art? And for all of the guys saying boxing champs would own MMA fighters, no. If this would be the case, all the top UFC rankings would have been dominated by boxers for years now. What reason would an acclaimed boxer have not to step into the moneypit and hype frenzy that is the UFC spotlight right now? In b4 "cuz box0rs have class and they wouldn't lower themselves to juvenile mma" don't kid yourself. Any self respecting fighter would love to compete and excel in another style if they knew they could.
In summary, this thread consists of folks arguing that training matters. What matters most is general intelligence, age, physical attributes and circumstance. Having the intelligence to understand what is taking place in a fight matters. Given a series of rules and for that matter in real life "laws" one needs to prevail under those circumstances Age matters as hormonal levels will change. As you get older you are less wanting to go blow for blow or engage in such events. An age or authority gap matters a lot. It is one advantage law enforcement has over a trained fighter. Physical skill is in general obvious as you need to have strength. In general, size discrepancies mean a lot. A lesser skilled fighter with size will eventually dominate a more skilled fighter. Weight matters which is why there will always be weight classes to allow for skill level development. Circumstances in the end also means everything. Tough is an attribute of a brain that is able to accept the consequence. An unexpected consequence will generally change the results. The largest issue with most martial arts is that the practitioners train to the type of fights that they want. In life luckily, most of us do not have to deal with random conflict and violence. If this was the case almost all of the studies would be different including both traditional and mixed arts.

skip to around 2:30 to see what happens when two sport fighters go up against a highly experienced aikidoka and then tell me that martial arts like wushu and aikido are ineffective
