I like to watch boxing on TV a bit more then mma. But man MMA SUCKS LIVE

You can change it...

 

Go to edit, then go to "go advanced" its the box above the message text box.

 

I went to UFC 82 and I also had trouble seeing the ground fighting also. I had floor seats so it was tough to see through the cage. I think the cage is better for mma fights but the ring is better for visual.

 

Or just double click the thread on the forum page.

 

I've been to domestic small show and it can be tough. It's behind fencing, there are many posts in the way, the grappling can be hard to see etc

All major combat events need to have WAY MORE large screens up. Right above the ring/cage there should be HUGE screens.

 

I've never been to an MMA indy show but I went to 118 in Boston and had a blast. Admittedly it was hard to see when the fights would go to the ground but the UFC had like 10 big screens set up so I didn't miss a beat.

 

I would tend to agree that at SMALL shows MMA would suck live unless it was striker heavy. I have gone to MMA shows where they had great camera coverage AND large screen televisions to see all of the action. That made even the ground game easy to follow.

I would say in general boxing is a better show because it is easier to see, but MMA atmosphere on lower level shows is many levels above boxing's.

 

So you can relate to a predominately drunk, hillbilly atmosphere of fat people in Tap Out shirts that think they are badasses?

 

That attitude kept me away from MMA at first. So I gave it a shot... Now maybe this is because I am in California not Texas, but it was a diverse atmosphere with everyone showing love to the game.

In my section we had some Blacks, chollo Mexicans, White surfer dudes, desert rat White dudes, and plain ol' folks of all colors and ages. It was a very diverse crowd.

Boxing was diverse too, but everybody there was OLD. Damn.

 

I love M.M.A but I think boxing is much better, I'd rather see a dude taking punches to the body and face while standing then try to see whats happening when they're pinned to the canvas.
