Do you follow UFC/MMA fighting?

I tried to get into MMA, but just couldn't . I recpect these guys as much as boxers but just not somethig I was able to get into. I wish they got paid more, I hear about their purses & believe they are very under paid.

 

I remember UFC 1 and used to watch it back then when it was basically no holds barred, but it got old fast. It's not intriguing.

 

I like the way it's structured, the best have to fight the best, don't like that he gets all the coin. Boxing would be huge if it had ufcs organization.

 

I used to watch kickboxing in glory days of K1 now less, karate :tired

 

I would not like it to be like in the UFC guys are ****ing risking their life every night and get payed ****, seriously real slave organization, dont get me wrong I'm not deluded that boxing promoters are good but Dana is something else, until best fighters in UFC dont become their own man Dana will continue to take their money.

 

Me too......I watch it sometimes when there's no boxing or Law and Order or TWD on.

 

Nobody holds a gun to there head to make them fight. Its there choice.

 

Just boxing don't follow the other **** at all

 

I follow both but I'm a much bigger fan of boxing than MMA. I am immediately frustrated as soon as the ground game starts in MMA. I don't mind grappling when the fighters are actively working for a submission or ground n pound...but lately every fight ends up on the floor with nothing happening and the ref just lets them hump away til the round ends...I don't care if a guy is in full mount...it's not really a dominant position if he's doing NOTHING with it...the refs need to stand the fighters up MUCH more regularly. That **** is ruining the sport for me. I've seen every UFC event...and hundreds of other smaller events from all over the world but its getting to the point where I almost have to be drunk to watch it lol. I'd rather watch Glory kickboxing than UFC nowadays. That **** is becoming more and more entertaining again...bunch of massive dudes who are proficient strikers with TERRIBLE defense...recipe for entertainment haha. Check out Glory if you haven't.

Someone already mentioned Glory lol

 

For skill and strategy I love boxing, for entertainment value I watch a UFC fight every now and then.
