    The more videos you post, the more evidence of the street fighting styled fights that are on display which supports my point about it's participants rarely executing skills and finesse, but merely mauling and brawling

    Even the commentators have to ham it up even further and refer to boxing when attempting to recall an exciting event as they have mma fights to compare it to.

    Keep posting more videos showing it's barbarity, it only helps prove my point.

    Thank you good sir.

    ''Tried''??? No I refuted all of your mistaken claims and asked you for evidence to which you resorted to crying about how mean I am.

    The desperate are those who make false statements and try to pass them as factual.

    All I saw was "keep posting more videos" :cool: You're hooked like TJ Hooker, aren't you? :D How I know is that you watched Bonnar / Griffin and loved it :thumbsup: Yeah I'll admit they aren't the two most skilled guys, but damn, they had heart.

    This is what a really skilled MMA striker can do to a big sap:

    I'm sorry but no amount of videos are going to convince me that it is worth watching. The fight looks like a freak show yet it is not surprising considering mma tried to set up a fight between a 24 year old up against a 12 year old.

    It doesn't help that it leaves you with that sickly feeling inside as if you're watching something that you know you shouldn't be watching.

    If it truly did have any merit, I would say it did but honestly it is not in the slightest bit interesting least of all it's participants who are devoid of personality baring a few.

    actual combat is barbaric, always has been and always will be. you argue in favor of boxing because it is not as barbaric as mma, so why stop there? why not separate it more from the reality of actual combat. You also point to their lack of skill, i would remind you that one of those unskilled fighters just went up against the best pure boxer of this generation and did better than one of his most significant wins in diego corrales, and he did it on his first try as a pro. loyalty is no excuse for ignorance and stupidity.

    No you are simply mistaken here. Martial arts was formed to help further develop human values such as humility, spirituality, discipline, integrity, compassion and most importantly balance.

    The average mma fighter displays none of these qualities in or outside of the ring. They behave like mindless savages, having no respect for themselves or their opponents who they seek to utterly destroy in any possible way without due care.

    In boxing the corner and the ref is on the look out through the entire duration of the fight ensuring that the fighter is not taking in excessive punishment. There is no precedent in boxing which allows a fighter to punch a defenceless opponent a dozen times on the ground when he has collapsed yet still conscious. Neither is targeting the back of the head which is the most vulnerable part of the cranium acceptable in boxing. MMA is simply unsolicited barbarism in it's purest form. There is no artistry in such an event and to tar and sully the name of true martial artists is a disgrace.

    It takes skill and years and years of practice and dedication to become a master in one discipline. Tomorrow you could take up mma and in a few years be in contention for a title shot. That is the differene between elite level boxing and mma.

    There is a point to boxing which is to hit and not be hit while displaying your skills to entertain. There is no point to mma besides the desire to revisit the days of the Roman Colosseum.

    Lastly, don't bother take confidence away from Conor's beating. He got embarrassed and only the desperate are clinging on to phantom moral victories that mean nothing. He wasn't meant to survive in there, he was meant to ko floyd as soon as he touched him, and he failed to prove he had this devastating power which the whole world was harping on about.

    This argument would have some merit but for the fact everyone could see that Floyd had no respect for Conor Mcgregor. Floyd Mayweather took a couple of rounds to feel out this mythical power and decided at the end of rd2 that this guy was a joke.

    Comparing Mcgregor's performance to the likes of Corrales is downright dishonest because Floyd actually respected the skills of Corrales and that's why we got vintage Floyd. Against Mcgregor there was genuine feel that Floyd was taking him lightly before the fight and turned out he actually didn't even spar a lot or even run properly for this fight (http://www.phillyvoice.com/insiders...conor-mcgregor-that-he-barely-trained-at-all/)

    So any perceived success Mcgregor was down to the fact Floyd allowed it and had nothing to do with the skillset of Mcgregor. Factor this in with the size, reach, age, activity of Mcgregor it really is sad to give him any real credit other than he survived till the 10th rd (again how much of this was attributed to Floyd?)

    your opinion on why things happened the way they happened is irrelevant to the points i made. i could claim that if conor would have gotten a couple of tune ups beforehand to condition himself to boxing at this level, he would beat floyd. but that would be me straying from the only things that actually happened, same as you are attempting to do now.

    So what about how boxers have performed in MMA, example being Ray Mercer (a novice) beating Tim Sylvia quicker than Randy Couture or Fedor Emelianko (note that he actually won and did not just perform well). Because then that has its merit as well.

    Sounds like a SJW, hilarious. Try and look all educated and tell us about Socrates again. :duh Jeez a week ago you were being made to look an ignorant fool about the current state of MMA and it's still going, funny stuff. Full marks for effort.

    yes, i never claimed one sport or athlete to be superior over the other, i simply commented on the reality of what took place, so i dont understand what point you are trying to make by bringing this up.

    Every single one of you and your fellow mma fanboys who happened to post in this thread and in the mma forum, without exception, have had all of their moronic and dumbfounded points, systematically destroyed and been made to look like complete morons.

    You yourself attempted to make up some weak erroneous argument, which I corrected you on and then you went back into cheerleading on the side lines, making snide remarks.

    Mma fans are by far the worst and most ignorant. For that reason, they need to be treated with contempt before they get into the habit of poisoning this place with their stupidity
