This is why MMA SUCKS!!

They refer to it as "martial arts." If indeed it is an art then why are the top guys performing in such a crude and ugly way? Watching ufc/mma is even worse than watching Ricky Hatton's ugly mauling/brawling boxing style.

 

Ugly to you... not everyone.
If you can't appreciate grappling thats your problem.

 

I'm sorry, but never once in my life did I see a guy get a leg lock on another guy in a fight. I have watched skilled fight and novice street fights, and 9 times out of 10 it starts with a fist or a take down, and ends with a fist or a take down. In a street fight if someone dropped to there knees and tried getting you in a leg lock, they get a boot to the head, something that is illegal to do in a MMA match if your oppenent is on the ground and your standing up. Mir was getting pummelled by Brock, and the ref broke it up because Brock hit him in the back of the head with a punch, thats the difference between a street fight and MMA fight, in a street fight anything goes and no ones breaking it up.:deal

 

I said the same **** about that fight!!!

Mir got his ass whooped and won on a submission....

they should draw rules up for each fight.... Because the fights are only interesting when you have two guys fighting that specialize in the same style...

Strikers vs. strikers and submission artist vs. submission artist

If these categories are integrated then you get bull**** like what happened in the mir lesnar fight..

MMA is gay! point blank period...

It needs not be compared to boxing but more so to wrestling...Thats their real competition..

Every fighter in the MMA is a ****in character just look at rampage jackson and chuck liddel they could make a smooth transition to the WWE

 

Moron of the month award, it wouldnt be mixed martial arts if its strikers vs strikers and subs vs subs, thats one, and its even bett er when its like that. It shows which art is superior, and while there is rules creates an interesting chess match. Brock agreed to mma rules, his problem, this proves nothing on the street. Bottom line is brock only knows how to beat people up, when hes vulnerable he cant properly react.

 

MMA is barely fighting. The fighters are terrified to get hit in the face and when it gets even a little tough they lay on the ground for the whole fight. Whats the differnce between gay porn and MMA: Nothing:hey

 

You don't like MMA.

 

Explain this to me then atsch

BJ Penn can catch Joe Stevenson and Matt Hughes in chokes but he can't catch some dude off the street in a choke? Yoiu are being stupid with this post.

I am reading alot of "I've seen alot of street fights and never one submission....blah blah blah"

Let me make one thing clear here: There are two obvious reasons why you don't see a guy pulling an arm bar or guillotine chokes in street fights:

1. 99% of men never get into physical confrontations, or maybe once a year and thats alot. So there is a level of panick that sets in. I don't care how big, confident or tough you are. If you never fight, and then you do, you are not thinking as clearly as you ideally would like to be.
2. 99.5% of men aren't skilled enough to do it. Plain and simple. They don't train in it, they don't practice it and they don't feel comfortable trying it.

You can bet your mothers ass that if BJ Penn or Anderson Silva or Noguiera or Frank Mir or probably any guy that trains full time in MMA even walks up to you in a bar, on the street, in a restaurant, or where ever you have seen "these fights" you speak of and are committed to putting you in a submission.....they are going to do it. :deal

 

MMA is good to know if you want to defend self in fight (as is boxing)
But a lot of street fights wind up on ground, so MMA is better of two to know. But for watching, and as a sport, I love boxing, pass on MMA.

 

no disrespect im not a fan of mma, i respect everybodys opinion, but honestly mma success really has to do with the type of fans its reaching and the way is being marketed esp. with the pricing and being air on t.v. often... boxing in my opinion takes more skills, dedication, than any sport... like i said before you would have ten times more of a chance being an mma champion than being a boxing champ even when boxing has a variety of belts... like someone said mma is for people that didnt make it in boxing...

 

actually it's more like MMA is for lots of U.S. amateur wrestlers (certainly more than boxers) who either can not make the olympic team or want to make some money. To be elite in any sport takes skills and dedication. Boxing is great sport (one of my favorites to watch) I think MMA is cool in that it makes use of lots of different forms of fighting.

 

I think Lesnar will still do well. Being submitted by Mir isnt terrible. Dude is a sick grappler. I've seen the guy and a couple of tournaments that my brother was in. The guy is a SICK grappler.
