UFC or Boxing

[Rodja]

I will agree with you on the part that if a person has some legitimate fighting skills,it is hard to get them on the ground and keep them there.
I think my biggest problem with MMA is the whole "Affliction" crowd.You have to admit,they give the sport a bad name.

There are 100's of Olympic/Pan-Am medalists in wrestling (both freestyle and Greco-Roman) and Judo in addition to multiple time ADCC/Mundial champions competing in MMA. I'm not sure which fights you are watching, but nearly every fight is dictated by the wrestling and/or submission grappling. The size thing comes up all the time a though being the bigger man automatically makes you indomitable. How are the careers of Bob Sapp, Ron Waterman, Bobby Lashley, etc. doing right now?

Every sport's casual fans are annoying and are a necessary evil for financial success.

I grew up around boxing, but I also trained alongside MMA guys at various boxing gyms. I'd be the first to say that I couldn't do what they do in terms of a ground game. But I've also seen them spar against pure boxers, one in particular where a guy weighing a little over 200lbs, was matched up against a kid training in the amateurs. The kid weighed around 147lbs (welter), needless to say the kid won easily (boxers are trained to see punches coming from a mile away). The guy's corner ended up capping the sparring at 3 rounds because he was taking too much punishment.

A philosopher I enjoy, Martin Heidegger, once said, "Judging the worth of philosophy by applying to it the standards of science is like judging the power and prowess of a fish by throwing it on land."

Wrestling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu have significant overlap, so by this rubric, I ought to judge the worth of any given wrestler according to whether or not he knows how to apply an arm-bar correctly. Except that I understand that each sports assumes its own rubric, and is relative only to itself. The same is true for boxing, MMA, gymnastics, basketball, and cricket.

Year after year,this state ranks top 5 in all the bad categories nationally.Divorce rate,sucide,domestic abuse,child abuse,etc.Has to be a reason.The only conclusion I can reach having lived here most of my life is that Okies are some f*****up people.
