You've never watch an MMA event have you?

Let see, we got Will Smith, Decaprio, Ben Affleck, justin timberlake and Kanye West. Recognise any of them? How about Gordon Ramsay, Usher, Shaquille O' Neal and Charlize Theron? No A list Celebrities there.

To call MMA barbaric and just mindless brute force is as stupid and ignorant as saying it about boxing. You don't get to the top level of anything with out some serious technical knowledge. Your post is bad and you should feel bad.

 

So how did a WWE wrestler manage to become champ in the sport?

 

MMA is a great sport. Boxing is a great sport. It's about time now that fight fans unite and stop comparing these two great sports where warriors compete. You're going to get great boxers and you're going to get great MMA fighters. I personally prefer boxing, I grew up with boxing and boxed myself, but have total respect for MMA.

 

By being a freak athlete and a legit 4 time all american wrestler who came along at the right time and beat a much smaller 46 year old Randy Coture. Right place, right time, right opponent. He showed some serious heart in his defense against Shane Carwin too, getting beat up on the ground in the first round before choking him out in the second.

 

THANK YOU. That is all I have been saying.

 

You just proved my point.

Size and brute force reigns supreme in MMA.

 

By being an acknowledged phemomenon as a junior / teenager in one of the hardest wrestling circuits on the planet. And taking truckoads of steroids.

 

Aldo is who is one of the great technicians in UFC, yet he was beaten in 13 seconds by a guy who was simply bigger than him and only had a few years of practice in MMA.

 

You proved you don't read. Go and watch some of Brock as a kid / teenager.

Wilful ignorance.

 

He had 40lbs over a former light heavyweight. He was big he was fast and had good technical skills. If MMA is brute force how come Brock at 265lbs got utterly mauled by a 230lb Cain Velazquez. How did Randy Coture at 6' and 220llbs destroy a 6'8" 265lbs Tim Sylvia to take the belt in the first place?

 

Anger and nerves. Aldo did something very dumb against a man you can't afford to do dumb things against. Why did Julian Jackson beat Herol Graham? He didn't out think him did he?

 

As an adult, how many professional bouts did he have before he went into MMA?

 

Obviously he wasn't going to remain undefeated that long. The fact that he held his own in the sport and became a champion within such a short period shows the legitimacy of it all.

You think a wrestler who had boxed in junior high, could cross over to boxing and become a champion?

 

Define professional bouts. In MMA he had 1 or 2 before getting into the UFC. He destroyed a top 10 heavyweight in his debut then got kneebarred by Frank Mir. He beat Mir in the rematch and got a title shot.

 

A regulated fight with a referee, sanctioning body and a crowd.
