i'm currently watching MMA one in amazon and so far i'm liking it. better than boxing even. the only thing that bothers me is the butch fights.
earlier i saw a "french" female? fighter that destroyed a thailand fighter. that french "woman" looked like she was jacked up from all anabolics that the took to look more muscular. while the oriental girl was chubbier LOOL
at least the fighting seems more real than boxing.
I used to watch MMA back when it first starting becoming popular many years ago, but after a while I realized it was gay. Wrestling is for fags, sorry.
The amature circuits are fun to watch. You get all kinds of riff raff come in and throw their hats in the ring. For a good LOL, watch this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peQcz7G8BO4
Completely different rules. The Asians are weird with martial arts. Japs were famous for unfair scoring, many Asian martial arts don't hold up in the ring without a bunch of rules, etc.
is that true, i dont see that much of rules in the fights that i'm watching now. the fight can be stopped at the ref's discretion.
i heard of a guy that goes around in china proving that matial arts is fake. i mean its kinda true in a street fight nobody is going hold a code of honor or any of that BS
Yeah they don't allow headbutts in most MMA anymore. Still, most of the slants couldn't last any time at all in a western MMA. They specialize too much. New MMA requires a rounded skill set if you aren't a genetic freak. Asians always train based on the very specific rule set.
nope havent seen that one, to be honest i'm pretty new to all of this. i mostly enjoy kickboxig,muay thai, mixed martial arts. anything that i can see two guys going at each other without cheating like pro boxing has become

It's no secret that every sanctioning body has had its share of scandals.
I watched a decision go the wrong way recently. It's sad to see and, unfortunately, it happens from time to time.
The vast majority of bouts, however, are decided without controversy and judges that deliver too many controversial decisions are subject to suspensions and/or sanctions.
i used to watch with my dad. all the fights from pro to beginners. it got so bad that my old man doesnt want to know anymore about the sport.he gets very upset when he sees a fight being stolen in plain sight without respect and regard for the fans.
we used to get together just to have a father and son good time. right now. those are few and between, he is just tired of the fake shit
i have even invited him o watch mma but he refuses calling it all bullshit.
and he's right you know. sports are no longer this pure thing where guys could get together to share a good time. the cheating destroyed all of that
No question there have been bad decisions, mistakes and bad actors and, for the most part, I rarely see a bad decision.
Not discounting your experience here and I've watched hundreds (perhaps thousands?) of bouts over the years and I could probably count the number of really crap decisions I've witnessed and not run out of fingers.
Thanks for the discussion, BTW :)
Edit: It just dawned on me that I score every round like a judge and not everybody watches that way. If you haven't tried doing that, I recommend you give it a shot and see if your appraisal of boxing doesn't improve.

That shit is pretty hardcore. Think Muay Thai with headbutts.

Imagine Muay Thai, only with a clinch inviting a forehead smash to the nose.
Adds another dimension to the sport entirely.

Not challenging you to a debate; I'm genuinely interested in hearing your perspective.

the opponent is carefully selected, so he doesnt have a real chance.
that way you build up a guy with a flawless record, and then you set him up against another flawless guy that has no chance against him.
and then sometimes two "good" fighters have to encounter oneanother due to rules, and all they do is clinch and dodge...
boxing really has been turned from the sport of gentleman playing chess, to a charade of brawlers cheating to get points.
but mma (though interesting) reminds me too much of roman gladiators. its a segment of the end times approaching.
dont pay shekels to watch it. (((they))) benefit from your bloodlust.
if you want hardcore fights for free, watch "battle of nations"
its full contact armed and armored medieval fighting.
