liddel, couture, tito, ken shamrock, ect, ect all have been knocked out or dominated with strikes.... from lesser strikers then say a mormeck, haye, pavlik, cintron ect. boxing fans hate how mma fans think that no boxer in the world would know how to ****ing grapple. do you not think these guys get into other fights at all? give most boxing champions 6 months intense grappling practise and i garuntee you they would have a good base on to which to work with. i hate these discussion though im outta here |

don't lie to me. I watch MMA and these rules are surely enforced. Fanboys of MMA like to keep saying how real it is. But in truth it's just another sport and like other sports, it has rules. Now wether or not you like it is up to you, but it is not the #1 sport nor will it be anytime soon. Yes its growing, but it's far from #1. |

My response was to that list of "rules." Personally I think that list is a fiction because violations of that particular list of rules are common. |

Most shitty streetfighters dont know how to fight on the ground, they feel more comfortable on their feet so they tend to keep the fight standing as long as possible... I mean, seriously, if you box amateurly or whatever, just go visit your local BJJ gym and see what its all about. I am sure they will change your mind about the importance of groundfighting. |

Fking hell!!! Who gives a toss???? This argument is about as gay as some tennis players saying 'squash sucks get some bigger raquets', the sports are vaguely connected yeah because they involve 1 bloke twatting another in some form, but this argument is just picky and childish haha!!!! Personally i watch and have trained a bit in both, mma is the harder sport imo, i boxed quite naturally and you only have to worry about 2 big gloved fists coming towards u, mma however is a world of pain and people dissing it as 2 gays on a mat.........GET DOWN TO YOUR LOCAL MMA GYM and try a session out, see if you have the same attitude after it ,because there is a world of difference in being hit with the different gloves used in each sport!!!!

Fedor's now chilling with boxing and political supremos. While Dana and Zuffa tries to create a rift between sports, Fedor and his crew just sits back and enjoys the great sport of boxing/MMA and enjoy great sportsmen in action.

Last time in Philly the arena sold out and had a gate of $3.5 million.This time the arena did not sell out and the gate was $1.5 million.
Enough said.
