the Japanese have a great model for mixing their combat sports... by co-promoting K-1 and MMA at their dynamite shows, they probably put a lot of people (dream and pride fans) on K-1 that wouldn't otherwise watch it. I think the same logic could be used in the states, with boxing instead of kickboxing in that circumstance.
@Mocktezuma111 I would be a nut hugger also if I got to personally talk to all of Zuffa's fighters and promoters on a regular basis. It's his job. How many articles/videos does the average fan (not you, cause like me, your probably a hardcore fan) read/watch about promotions other than the UFC
@Nazeer93 I like to keep up with other other organizations such as DREAM, Sengoku and STRIKEFORCE and I really dislike the fact that many ppl look down these companys just because there NOT the UFC. thats why I also miss PRIDE so much, PRIDE gave me the option of looking at some amazing fights.
I can't believe we're still talking about legalizing MMA in NY. For Fuck Sake MMA should be legalized every fucking where. It's boxing (just with kicks, thiner gloves, no shoes, in the cage and with ground game. But thats what makes it better :D)
There are obvious interests from the boxing big bosses for this not to pass, and hiding behind "90% of the public is tattooed" is just pure rhetoric BS on their part. Make MMA legal!
it says help mma get legalized in new york, but doesn't say how ;)
Anyways i agree. it is truly the greatest sport in the world in my opinion. I love doing all kinda sports, but the only sport i find interesting to watch as a fan, is MMA
This is a great film..I would actually like the DVD. It would be amazing for the UFC to be in MSG. Ny is the one of the biggest fight cities in the world. Why would you not have the fastest growing sport there. Not only that, but the financial gain for the city if they held the fights there. NY officials need to recognize.
I am a former boxer. MMA fighter don't take as much damage with long term effects as we do. This is due to the differences in rules between MMA and boxing. In boxing you take a lot more sustained head trauma. I have walked around for days in the past with slurred speech and a splitting headache. MMA fighters tend to take damage with less long term effects like cuts, broken noses, chewed up ears, occasionally broken bones. If MMA isn't allowed then boxing shouldn't be allowed either.
I am a huge MMA fan and support the legalization of MMA in NYC, but...
MMA fights can be absolutely brutal. Just within the past month, take a look at what BJ Penn did to Diego Sanchez's forehead, and what Shinya Aoki did to Mizuto Hirota's arm.
The officials in charge of these fights need to declare the victor before one of the fighters gets severely damaged.
I agree. Boxers just like MMA fighters, are getting injured with every shot they took. With every day they train. The only sport that doenst hav injuries is probably chess
Hirota didn't tap and what happened to Sanchez is absolutely trivial. It's a (deep) skin cut which will heal. It only LOOKS scary but people need to learn to look past the blood and understand that blood isn't automatically HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE.
powerful video! hopeful it helps to push NY to legalize mma, like those guys would to fight in Madison Square Garden, i would love to watch them there. nice vid.
haha UFC 126 Silva vs Belfort.
