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.

You know what the sad thing is? Some people actually pay to watch MMA/UFC. You know what they call watching two men in tight shorts hump each other? PPV gay porn. Fags.

I personally don't dislike MMA. I'm just not a big fan of it. The way I see it. MMA doesn't suck, neither does boxing, or any other martial art. I believe anyone from any martial art and can knock anyone else of another. It just depends on who is fighting and how they apply their techniques.
I'll admit some MMA fighters I have seen have pretty sloppy form/techniques, but it's whatever works right? They are doing what they can to not get their bells rung.
At the same time I agree that a boxer can stand toe to toe with an MMA practicioner. Of course, I guess it goes back to whoever is fighting.
MMA is for those who lack the heart and/or skill to be boxers. MMA is like a cell phone that takes pics, cuts your hair, cooks, plays videos, and anything else you can think of but it still just amounts to a piece of shit phone that was made, just for those morons, who want to have what they have been convinced is the latest and the greatest.
If mmassholes were as talented as they claim they would have taken the chance at fighting in boxing for 10x what they fight for in the world of mma. The fact that they continue to refuse to enter the SWEET SCIENCE speaks volumes of their lack of balls and talent.
On the other hand you have the boxers who are always the ones with the balls to step into a different world and put their money where their mouth is while mmassholes continue to pussy out and remain in that crib they call the octagon.
Also how can a so-called fighting sport (UFC) claim to be legitimate but you see that they encourage the participation of WWE wrestlers, football players, body builders, unproven internet street fighting bums and any other person with some muscles and some tattoos to compete and even thrive.
The world of mma is full of manufactured frauds and it is being peddled to those lazy individuals who don't want to use their brain and earn their entertainment but instead choose the chaotic fraud that is mma because it gives them the feeling that a car wreck is about to take place at any moment.
In this feeling they are justified because when you have a bunch of crude brawlers/wrestlers/grapplers you are bound to see a crude human train wreck and it appeals more to the low bro individuals morbid side.
Don't choose crude filth over THE SWEET SCIENCE because when you do that it shows you are one of those morons with no sense of history and taste.
Any kind of fighting whatsoever for sport is gay in itself. It bastardizes what martial arts is all about, which is being warrior, not being a fighter. The difference between a warrior and a fighter is that a warrior is somebody who follows a code of ethics with any style of combat, while a fighter simply fights for their own gain. Anybody who fights for sport is simply either a bully or a sellout.
I'm just one of those traditionalist dojo rats I guess.
Nope, just a dojo rat. One who's grown up beyond the macho egotistical bullshit of martial arts.

MMA has become nothing more then a trend, a fad if you will. The UFC brand must have hired some genius marketing managers within the past 5 years. I remember UFC back in the 90's when NO ONE knew about it.
84> The reason mixed martial artists don't get into boxing is because boxing is very limited. The reason there arent many great boxers is because it only incorperates one skill set(hands). The reason why there is so many mixed martial artists is because thats exactly what it is, MIXED. For example lets say there is a brilliant boxer against a judo practitioner, the judo guy knows hell get whooped in the stand up so he takes it to the ground. Its a great avenue for people of all arts because they can find success using their own styles.
The guy who said MMA guys dry hump each other to death is right. And yeah, rolling around on the ground and sweating on another guy is gay. So is the crowd of teenage boys cheering you on to check his oil. Don't be afraid of your gayness, embrace it like you would an MMA fighter guy/lover/pulsing mass of sweaty muscles. Delicious.

People who say that Boxers can beat anyone in a street fight or even hint that boxing is at all practical outside the ring have to remember that MIKE TYSON BROKE HIS HAND in a street fight. Boxing is a sport that only end with you drawing in coloring books like Muhammad Ali.

All the guy's who think that MMA is going to work in the real world need a serious reality check.
Granted that MMA guy's are good at groundwork and it isn't all about dry humping each other.
However no matter how skilled you are at ground techniques. two or more opponents and BAM! your BJJ is useless. even if you've trained in it for 40 years. two untrained bums will render your groundwork training useless.
70% of MMA is neutralized by just having to fight two guys regardless of how much they suck. A boxer on the other hand can still utilize his entire arsenal. Let's face it, you see the military forces the world over doing Krav Maga,MCMAP, Philipino cops train in escrima while Indian cops do Kalari but you never hear of any one who is required to fight in a real life situation doing MMA or boxing
however Boxing is waay more usefull in a streetfight than MMA. Several of MMA take downs in fact if tried on concrete will lead to the attacker damaging himself.
MMA is boring when the fighters hit the ground, most guys stink at punches and kicks because they are expert grapplers. Its mostly sloppy. Anderson silva wipes the floor with these guys because he can actually kickbox. Now I would like to see anderson silva fight buakaw. that would be hilarious. Buakaw would wipe the floor with him so easily. I respect grappling and its effectiveness but for sports we should just stick to wrestling in high school or boxing. MMA is boring to me when I see guys who stink and have no chins. Who cares if you can grapple, nobody wants to see that! the majority of the people want to see a KO! Martial arts is respect, its about self defense. If you do a martial art you should try and master it but you dont have to go on tv and show off saying that your tough. If you are tough fight in boxing, thats the toughest sport of all or try and wrestle in the olympics, thats tough too. Fedor is the best right? How come he recieved bronze medals in judo? and not gold? cmon man, guys who are in mma have a better chance to be champ because alot of the guys they face are bums. Some are good. Few are great. BJ penn is great, only guy i truly respect in mma.
Because martial arts should be all about pretty flying kicks and katas, right?
No, Martial Arts should be about fighting. Since when is Wrestling a Martial Art? Saying that UFC isn't 85 percent Rolling around on the ground, 15 percent striking is just not looking at the fact (coming from a fan). It's like saying boxing doesn't including the boring 'Tie Hugging'' (also a fan of boxing I am). The two events are different, I just think people are tired of hearing how UFC is as real as it gets. It's not. If it was as real as it got then there would be NO rules the way it started. Since it became a ''sport'' it's now suppoed to be ''the fastest growing sport in history'' just that statement alone dumbens the 'sport'. You can't call the fighters the most diciplined fighters ever and still say it's the fastest growing sport ever, (which means new comers are coming in learning Martial Arts then go out and fight.) The sad truth about "MMA" is that I've seen some fighters only training for 3 months before they faught professoinally. (that's the bad part about fastest growing) yet, I've never seen (though possible) a boxer fighting pro with only 3 months of training. Roy Jones Jr fought over 200 Amature fights before his first pro fight. That says something about boxers dedication. UFC is yet to see where it's going to end up.. it's a hype, yes, but for how long? Has a loooooong way to go to beat boxing's years of exsistance.

speak for yourself NATE, everybody has a chin to be clipped.. remember the episode of Bully Beatdown when the Bully Dropped the Pro Fighter? If you want MMA fighters dry humping you to death, by all means lay down.
Grappling is a Martial art. Infact, Jiu-jitsu is the oldest martial art. Now, I have no need for Ammy MMA fights. They are just doing it because it is a fad and most fighters no nothing. So they just act like they do and get in there in fight. Anyone has a punchers chance in Ammy MMA. Jiu-Jitsu is one of the hardest martial arts to master, it is also the most effective. Currently strikers are making a come back, but that is only because grapplers are playing their game. They need to revert to the old days of using one martial art system and sticking to it. Most grapplers can wipe the floor with a Karate Black Belt, boxer or kick boxer. The only thing that pisses me off about MMA is the fad part of it, anyone who watches the UFC thinks they know how to fight. Also, what you see today in MMA matches is SPORT Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling. Not the system of jiu-jitsu that was developed thousands of years ago. Traditional Ju-Jitusu is a brutal system that was developed for war, not fighting in a cage with rules. It was designed to inflict death or complete immobility on your opponent, not a tap.
I have been training in Jiu-Jitsu for 4 years and love it, it is highly effective against anyone. Most street fighters have no idea what to do when they are mounted and attacked. That is the beauty of the art.
To all you wanna be MMA idiots that follow the fad and think you will be on the UFC just remember it take years and years of training. Training with PROFESSIONAL trainers, not your local back yard asshole. Getting to the UFC is more difficult than getting a spot on a pro NFL team. So if you are waiting for that big paycheck you will end up on welfare.
MMA is a sport that might Fade away. When it was Freestyle back in the day like in Ufc 1, it was so much cooler. Even Royce Gracie doesnt like it, he only likes watching certain fighters and he even states how it should be like the old rules to show the real martial arts. MMA took boxings blue print so it can be a legal sport. Why dont they just go to the days of the first ufc with no time limits, few rules, I would put no gouging, groin strikes, and biting. Boxing is historical and as a sport it will always survive, it has been around since ancient greece and I think even before that too. Pankration was in ancient greece but how come it didnt survive like boxing? MMA is confusing, there is alot of mixed feelings about this sport and I dont blame fighters like mayweather and etc. talking bad about it, seriously , who wants to see a guy on top of another guy for 5 rounds? Gracie did real juijitsu, the rest is BS.

It takes TREMENDOUS SKILL TO BE IN BOXING! you must train from very very young. I truly think that mma is making martial arts into a mockery. Why are people fighting like that? thats not a sport and thats not martial arts. First off people want entertainment, mma doesnt have much action once the fight hits the floor. Next, most guys are sloppy boxers/ kickboxers. Kickboxing or K-1 is great because it shows martial arts and its entertainment. MMA is mostly meat heads, guys that are jacked with tatoos and they tackle a guy down, GO TO FOOTBALL!
Its funny , you see a guy that couldnt make it to K-1 or high level boxing and he's knocking every fighter in mma senseless{anderson silva} ITS A TOTAL JOKE MAN! ITS ALL HYPE.
i like mma but is just a sport, and now it's just a sport for rich kids that can afford to work out all day and not worry about bills, anyway's i've watched hundreds of fughts on the tube in mma it's allway's the same thing punch or get them on the ground, and when they show there stats there a tenth degree black belt in something and all these other styles but when the bell rings, nothing but wild punches and just trying to get them on the ground, i can't wait for someone that really does use some shit get in there...

Alot of very ignorant people on this board.
UFC wasn't very popular in the 90s because it was new and only able to be seen on PPV. It had a lot of criticism for the lack of rules which led to a lot of the rules seen today. The added rules allowed UFC to go on.
A lot of people on this board are talking about how grapplers couldn't do this and that in a street fight. In case you didn't know in the first couple UFCs the only rules were no eye gouging or fish hooking. So they were allowed to hit the groin, headbutt, punch in the back of the head, kick a down man, basically everything and there were no weight restrictions. There were no gloves either. The early UFCs were won by grapplers just like today. Royce Gracie faced a world class kickboxer in Gerard Gordeau in the finals of UFC 1. Gracie quickly defeated him and I don't even remember Gordeau getting too many strikes in if any.
MMA is highly technical, but I will say I think more if is stuff you need a trained eye for. I did Jujitsu for 7 years, Judo, Muay Thai, and have been wrestling for the last 8 years and you do notice a lot of technique in MMA, but a lot of stuff for people in America is unrecognizable and it makes it look like they aren't really doing anything.

You have to know there are a lot of high quailty athletes in there too, Judo Olympians, Wrestling Olympians, World Class Karate and Kickboxing Champions.
There is an unfortuante stigma as well among MMA fighters being douches and having no sportsmanship. Like any other sport you will have guys like that, but I'll say about 90% of them are good guys. After Mark Coleman got beat by Fedor he went and had a beer with him. George St. Pierre kept getting hassled by a guy at a bar, GSP told him he didn't want any problems. When GSP left the bar the guy came outside and was trying to fight GSP, GSP told him that he did not want to fight. The guy attacked GSP and GSP took him down to the ground, stood over him, and told him that he does not want to fight him and walked away.
