something red,
I have answered every point put to me, and all of the fanatical MMA supporters have just brought up new and stranger arguments as I demolish the previous ones.
I have stated exactly why I believe MMA is unmanly.
I have given clear examples of the cowardice that this sport encourages in some of the hooligans who participate it in.
Despite several claims, I have shown the boxing remains a force in popular culture, that MMA is a fad and an extreme sport with a loyal but ethnically and socio-economically limited fanbase.
Who really supposed that "da champ" is anyone but the hevayweight champion of the world? Not a grappler, a boxer.
Royce Gracie may have some degree of fame. Muhammad Ali is one of the 100 most recognisable faces in all human history.
Boxing is the sweet science, the aim is for two manly competitors to place their skills, courage, and strength against each other in a contest governed by the Queensbury rules.
MMA is simply a couple of guys (who may be louts or may be skilled "brazillian wrestlers") throwing cheap shots and trying to tear the other one's tendons and make them quit.
There is little skill to MMA past the intermediate level. The techniques of grappling are not simple, but they are also very limited - and anyone who commits to train for 6 months in it can gain enough mastery to be able to beat any MMA champ in the lottery of a couple of guys trying to twist each other;s arms as they roll around on the floor.
We have seen, with amusement, that even the greatest MMA fighters, the legends of the cage, win about 75% of the time.
The Fans calls this the unpredictability of the sport.
I call it the proof that it is simply a street fight with a few basic rules to allow it onto TV, and the winner is determined by luck as much as skill, strength and fitness (there is no need to speak of courage at all)
ANY World Champion boxer could beat any MMA fighter with 6 months training in MMA.
Let's be realistic.
Even today, as MMA enjoys its fad... a champion boxer will earn 10 times more for a title fight. If the scrappers of MMA had the sufficient skill and manliness, they would surely box and aim for higher prizes - both financial and in terms of honour.
But they are men who choose to be fish in a smaller pond.
Also...
I did not start this thread.
