Other than Strange Famous not knowing what he is talking about, what is this thread about?
Of course a UFC fighter couldn't hang with a championship boxer in the boxing ring. But niether could a boxer hang with an mma fighter in the octagon. They are two different sports, and comparing them is like comparing apples and oranges.
Strange: just because you don't "get" something doesn't make it any less viable. UFC is THE fastest growing sport in the world right now. It is huge, and not remotely close to being a "minority sport," as you call it.
Just because you don't know about the rules doesn't mean they aren't there.
And once mma has been around, on television, for as long as boxing has, then your comparisons will make at least a little bit of sense.
Statements like: "There will never be a Muhammad of mma..." etc...etc...are meaningless, obviously. Especially coming from someone with such an obviously biased viewpoint. If you followed the sport even remotely, you'd know that it already has a few "Muhammedesqe" figures, who have dominated their divisions for long periods of time.
