MMA is a garbage sport compared to boxing. Elbows, choking, smashing someone's face in when they're down on the ground and defenseless...I'm surprised they don't allow the homies to come in and deliver some head kicks to help out. 
It looks either like a bar brawl/tough man competition or like two guys in Speedos butt fking up against a chain link fence. It's total garbage but sometimes entertaining. I have no curiosity as to its popularity, the average Joe thinks he could do it and relates to the fighting style but no one outside of a nut ward thinks they could get in the ring w a legit pro boxer and trade punches. |
I would have to disagree. The MMA fighter is much more skilled overall than the boxer, simply because he can do more. All the Kung Fu movies and Hollywood make fighting pretty, but in reality its the non flashy things that work. Take down, control position, ground/pound or submit to finish. Ground fighting is much more complex than boxing. Your natural instincts are 100% wrong when it comes to grappling. It takes years to develop a good ground game, and the MMA guys have both. Lets see a boxer move like this... Now you try it.
