Just for guys who could not make it in boxing

I think it is a combination of production and fanbase. As I said before the UFC is more a mass produced product then for it is for the hardcore fans of MMA. I truly don't think that Dana and company give a **** about the sport or the fans, to them they just keep producing events to make money and its about the bottomline more then it is about the sport or the show. When that happens its gonna reflect in the fan base.

 

Well Scur its not just UFC events its almost any event in America. Go watch Scott Smith vs Robbie Lawler 1 or his fight with Benji Radach for example 2 brutal slugfest and the fans are booing like its a replay of Shamrock-Severn II. They boo for the stupidest **** I remember when Cerrone hit Varner with the illegal knee on the ground at the WEC in January and they had to go to the scorecards and when Varner got the decision even though he clearly won about every round they booed him and booed him and booed him and cheered Cerrone like it was some robbery. I hate when Joe Rogan says our educated audience wtf how is some 25 years old that are shitfaced and as you would say dont know the difference between a left straight (I love the Bas Rutten style)and a omoplata and boos good fights educated. In my book I find them to be jackasses. Or just go watch some prelims on a UFC show and you have a killer fight happening but you could almost hear a pin drop cause noboddy cares unless its Chuck Liddell or Forrest Griffin or one of their name fighters.

 

Still on that payroll i see aye? GSP GSP GSP!!!

 

:thumbsup Word. ( I too love the left straight )

 

Dont forget the liver shot :yep

 

When/if I get fired you will be the first to know. :smoke

 

You're the one who has a desperate need to be heard noob- "I think I'll write that MMA sucks on the MMA forum- oooohh this is gonna be great!" atsch I doubt you have a life to speak of either.

STFU and GTFO.:hi:

 

basically, this is the difference. Wrestling is for people that are ascared to get hit...so they make it in MMA.

 

Think about it........if I'm ascared of getting hit, I'm gonna take it to the floor so I don't get ahurt. Then I'm gonna r

 

Did you see BJ Penns last fight?

 

No I didnt watch it. I heard that he lost by a lucky punch:think

 

Your post is ridiculous. But I still take the time to debate it.

First of all, you say he has no understanding of MMA, and yet you just show the exact same stupidity towards boxing. A sport you clearly know nothing about.

Boxers are fighters. To think otherwise is stupid and disrespectful. If boxers arent fighters, MMA'ers arent fighters. After all there are plenty of rules and regulations in place in MMA. No grabbing shorts, no grabbing the cage, no rabbit punches, no eye gouges, no groin stomps, no knees to a downed opponent, no foot stomps, soccer kicks, no fish hooks. Not to mention, fights get stood up due to inactivity, you have predetermined opponents, environments, rules, gameplans, judges etc.

If you think Mayweather would lose to a can than you're an idiot. How did guys like Crocop, Hunt, Manhoef, Overeem, Davis, Lytle, Hicks do in MMA coming from striking backgrounds? Pretty damn good. Mark Hunt is an obese failed boxer and he took down Fedor and had him in side mount.

Mayweather would lose to Big Show? Who the hell cares. Miguel Torres would lose to Big Show. Even the 2nd best HW in MMA history was getting rag dolled by Bob Sapp for 5 minutes. Wow, very relevant point.

Vitali lost to Pele Ried. SO WHAT. Vitali was 20 years old. And Pele Reid was far, FAR from a CAN.

Matt Skelton is arguably a top 15 heavyweight in K-1 history. If not top 15, top 20. In boxing Skelton is not even a top 20 HW in the past 5 years. And still has yet to beat an opponent with a pulse in boxing.

Wow he lost a bout in MMA, who cares. That same MMAer fought Shannon Briggs in K-1 and got humiliated.

Boxing is the PREMIER COMBAT SPORT on the planet. If you think otherwise, than you lack intelligence. So what if its less limited than MMA. MMA is limited as well and more people care about boxing around the world. Its a historic sport with developed amatuer programs worldwide. And it is the highest paid combat sport by far in the planet, with the deepest talent pool. Boxing is an international sport, MMA is a North American sport.

I dont care about age, there are late bloomers in each sport. But it is MUCH easier to climb the ranks in MMA and regardless of how talented an athlete was, he'd never be able to acquire a HW championship in boxing within 1.5 years regardless of how good his amatuer background was. It happened in MMA with Lesnar. If an amatuer boxer tried to do that, he not only would lose, but itd likely end his career, hed get beaten up so bad.

And I cant believe you're including guys like Vitali and Povetkin as fighters who got a late start in boxing. They were kickboxers in their teens and although kickboxing is different than boxing there are still alot of transferrable skills. Its not like Povetkin just picked up a pair of boxing gloves and turned pro.

"In other words , MMA was ideal for a guy like this to dominate using his vast wrestling experience...half of the training and experience was already there , years before he decided to enter the ufc."

Half of what. Wrestling is not half of MMA, its a component of MMA. An important component nonetheless. And Lesnar was a wrestler like 7 years ago. And its not the fact that hes succeeding in MMA, its the fact that hes terrible at everything else and yet is KO'ing UFC legends like Couture, dominating 10 year vets like Herring and mauling Mir for 1:30 minutes before getting subbed. The guy literally walked right into the best MMA organization in the world and didnt even look out of place. Thats utterly embarassing.

 

He lost because of GSP's grease.

The grease on GSP made GSP land numerous punches and kicks on Penn which resulted in multiple takedowns.

 

MMA post of the year.

 

Now this is a good post.
