    How so? I've given MMA countless chances to earn my respect. It always fails.

    Boxing only.

    I've tried to watch MMA in the past but only enjoyed it on the rare occasions when they stood up and tried to box. Man wrestling is not for me.

    part of why i like watching better is that MMA is marketed for white trash with minds of 12 year olds. I feel like im watching WWE or something. From the announcers to the graphics. No class... The actual sport is alrite. but the wrestling is boring to me.

    I'm a boxing fan.
    I can't say I can't stand MMA, if I get a Fedor Emelianenko fight I watch it, the guy is unbelievable. Still, I rarely watch MMA.
    So I can't really pick any of the options given in the poll ;)

    wouldn't say i'm a fan of mma...but i watch it occasionally, it all depends on how good a fighter is, doesn't matter what style he uses to me, as long as he's good

    kickboxing, boxing, mma, karate or whatever....but still, i like boxing primarily

    I voted 2 but really im in between 1 and 2. I don't hate MMA like a lot of bitter boxing fans, but i don't think its half the sport boxing is. It just frustrates me watching their standup abilities as a lot of them are on a similar standard to a street fighter.
