    I am a Fan of both Sports but I see that MMA is in the lead as of now. I like the way that theirs only one champion in each weight division and no Bullcrap belts. Dana White keeps making great fights and thats what makes the difference. I have been a fan of Boxing first and what I hate is that theirs fights that you really want to see but rarely ever happens because of Draw Power. Full contact sport is NASTY....

    Won't work, if you really think about it the only difference from MMA and any other combat sport is the brazilian jit jitsu, other than that it's sloppy boxing and wrestling.

    Anyways, I would say it depends on who is fighting. If it's someone like Roy Jones then.... god... I feel bad for that MMA fighter.

    There is more than one champ in MMA. The most two recognized are Pride and UFC. Both are great sports. I like to watch boxing more.

    This is silly. By the UFC isn't MMA so there are multiple belts and UFC have an interim belt as well. They recently had 2 heavyweight champs if I'm not mistaken. I think it is best if UFC largely monopolises MMA or MMA will turn to **** like boxing sometimes does.

    Since when was there one champion in each weight class?

    Maybe the TS is referring to the UFC but UFC is not the sport of MMA.

    And since when is Dana putting on the best fights fans want to see. We will never see Machida/Silva, we might not ever see GSP/Silva or Fedor/Lesnar or Penn/Aoki, GSP/Shields.

    Those are the fights MMA fans wouldnt mind seeing not Fitch/GSP, Lesnar/Mir or washed up versions of Liddell/Silva and Nog/Couture. Yeah thanks Dana, you were about 10 years too late on those ones.

    Tbf i wouldn't be shocked to see fedor vs lesnar and maybe gsp vs shields or silva these are fights dana would like to put on imo. Machida and silva probably wouldn't fight as they are very good friends.
