ok.. so here's what I propose.. instead of pretending that all UFC fights are ended because someone missed a kick and slipped and was caught with a stiff right, how about going down to your local MMA gym and stepping in with the jiu-jitsu boys for 5 minutes. They aren't big on striking.. but they'll let you strike them.. see if punching is the ultimate pain after you're put into a Kimura so deep you want to die.. or even better when you let them get you off the ground they simply sidestep your attempt at a punch and you end up getting rear naked choked.. or.. if you don't like the sound of that, then step into the cage or ring with a striker. Let's see how long your boxing only skills keep you alive. I'm sure your face would love it when they clinch you and your nose is pounded with knees.
so really it comes down to this.. put up or shut up. There are pussies in any sport and people who think that boxing is going to make them better in a fight and they'll get their asses handed to them.. same with someone who thinks Jiu-Jitsu will help them in a street fight..it could happen.. but we aren't talking about street fighting..we are talking about
SPORT COMPETITION. In the competition of MMA, the most well rounded fighter usually ends up on top..
but whatever.. keep spouting your mouth.. I'm sure your heavy talk will save you..
MMA is most certainly a sport. Boxing is most certainly a sport, but MMA utilizes boxing as one minor facet of it's game.. so really what are you arguing here? If Couture wins the heavyweight belt again..are you going to change your mind? Of course not, because boxing is just SOOOOOOO noble. So noble in fact, that some boxers will even bite your ear off if they get desperate.
and yes, Gina is one badass chick. She could pound most men into the ground.
