UFC is unsatisfying and a rip off in my view. It's the same faces rematched and shuffled time and again. and they're not very good. If MMA was like boxing and not stuck to fixed organisations it would maybe be more watchable, as it is the MMA fad is wearing thin.
You bring up some very interesting points throught this thread Naldo. Always good to read a new perspective on this debate
MMA is going to overwhelm boxing in the years to come - hands down too. and it's got nothing to do with which code is better. you should all know the rest and why.....

I would disagree with there options, should be an option in your pol "both sports are good". Boxing are more skillful, where as the UFC fighters are more brutal and on most occasions the power and strength wins. I'm a bigger boxing fan than ufc but i believe that the best mma fighter would kick the **** out of any boxer. (mma rulz) When answering on the question who is the best boxer? You gonna name the best BOXER. But on the question who is the best fighter? For the answer you defenatly need to look at someone in MMA league
This is what I have to say on the issue . Thats just how I feel, and I hope this topic doesnt come up again because I believe I have covered everything that is worth writing about on this subject. Good day sir.
