    Now that some redneck with tattoos from europe actually won a belt in some back water ufc division. I see alot of posters saying "they are fans of both sports." Yeah sure these mma experts have never talked about mma until now. So if these losers leave boxing for good because they finally have some euro-bum champion will you miss them?

    How can you 'leave' boxing for mma? Anyone that 'leaves' boxing was never a fan.

    They're not fans of both. Ask these losers who Werdum is and they cant tell you.

    I'm irish and even though mcgregor won I coukd give a toss, the sport is a joke at attracts fighters not good enough to be boxers and attracts fans not intelligent enough to appreciate boxing

    On the undercard I saw two guus just hugging eachother on the ground nothing else happening and the commentator goes 'this is highlight reel stuff right here 'lmfao

    Iv never heard a boxing commentator say clinching is highlight reel material

    No.

    Now we know they were just in it for the ripped guys with their shirts off. It's good that they now openly have defected to watchin gay porn.

    you perceive the two sports as fighting against each other, i don't even if they are.

    I've followed MMA since Royce Gracie was schooling guys 100lbs heavier than him.

    I'm a much bigger boxing fan, but I've see no reason why people cant be fans of both.

    Its kik saying you have to be either a fan of rugby or soccer

    Does anyone else think that PBC is a straight rip off from UFC or the other way around (dunno the history of either)

    I've been a fan of ALL combat sports long before I started posting on ESB. And no, I won't miss anyone who abandoned boxing completely for MMA, but I see no issue for a boxing fan who's also taken a liking to MMA. Boxing fans need to stop being so insecure.
