    be honest here.

    I definitely am what can be labelled as a boxing only fight fan.
    rarely do I follow UFC or MMA.
    However, it appears the ESB may be 80% comprised of fans of ultimate fighting who have found boxing as their second or third fighting event.
    Which are you?

    I watch the occasional MMA card but mainly just to see Glass Jaws get shattered. The Chins on these guys is awful.

    Passion is boxing

    Would like to get into MMA more...so much stuff to learn though from understanding it from a technical standpoint (mostly in regards to ground game and leg striking). When they are on the ground grappling and doing jujitsu I don't know wtf is happening...and half the time it just turns into a hugging guard borefest.

    All 3 options are wrong for me.

    I don't follow MMA, but watch it sometimes. Same with Kickboxing, Karate etc. Only sport I really follow is boxing, but I'm certainly not a "boxing only fightfan" (option 3)

    From your consistency in all your past posts, you are clearly in poll option #1. :good

    Sorry.

    Option #2 should read, "UFC/MMA" to reflect your preference.:good

    There really aren't enough boxing matches put on TV to satisfy the never ending appetite of the hardcore fan.

    I practice martial arts, but for some reason I don't enjoy watching it commercially.
