Interesting. I wonder how the judges make out what's going on in the unskilled mess that's proceeding before their eyes.

I guess they are fighting for absolutely no reason at all which makes it useless as well as dangerous. Dangerous morally and physically I may be so bold to add.

I would like to believe that the human race has gone beyond rolling around on the floor while beating / choking / limb breaking each other.

Are you trying to clean up the filthy MMA by comparing it to Boxing? "Much like Boxing" you say?

You cannot and I will repeat CANNOT compare MMA to boxing because the brutality of MMA is almost immeasurable. When a boxer is in distress the referee will put his arms around him and wave one of his hands in the air. It never gets to the point where the fighter is being beat over and over and over again on the ground NOR does it ever get to the point where a limb or an air way is constricted.

MMA is garbage. It's low brow fighting.

"Or risk injury"

Thank you

At any point in the boxing match any fighter can refuse to walk into the ring. There is no need for any "risk of injury" becayse they have the option of not proceeding into the middle of the ring.

I wonder what would happen if an MMA fighter would not walk into the ring? Maybe his career would be over because most of these MMA fighters are completely and utterly replaceable. I.E. No skill involved.

I still haven't researched in to how many people have been hurt in MMA but yes, before boxing was regulated there were deaths. Hence why they regulated it.

I don't know if you know this but "Being on the ropes" is a term used to reference when a fighter is in trouble. It's just a phrase, it doesn't really mean that the person is on a rope of some sort.

When you switched your vocabulary from "You obviously don't know this" to "you are ignorant" is that just a way you admit defeat?

They may be well versed in ballet too but you don't see that when they step into the "cage". You see a mess of grabbing and large over the top swings that then culminate into a grab ass match on the ground which then leads to one choking the other. Boring. No skill. No martial arts. No nothing. Probably 3-4 moves get used in every single fight.

Stomping of the foot is just another reason why not to watch this unskilled mess.

Once again, Boxers are only allow to fight a certain number of matches. It's called a regulation. This is a collision sport. I wonder how many bouts an MMA fighter is allowed to have a year? and I wonder what's going to happen to their health? Both sports are dangerous but MMA is much more brutal and grissly on so many levels.

I'm not a boxing fan, at all. I'm just saying between MMA (mess / no skill) and boxing (skill and stamina), boxing is better on so many levels.

I still agree with him when he called it "Human Cockfighting" because that's what it is. Hence why it was illegal and I believe it still is illegal in many states of the union.

In my profession usually bad things are regulated. MMA is one of them I guess.
