cage fighting is much better than boxing

Yeah, people can die. A lot of people die from other sports every year, should we ban them all? Statistically, MMA is safer than horse jumping when it comes to longterm damage.

boxings shit....they only play for money now, for example American cunts like Floyd Mayweather

Considering this is a bbc publication i feel cheated that they represent a sport in such bad light and in a one sided manner when it involves so much hard work, dedication and team work more so than most other sports that are shoved down our necks on their channels, paying a license fee for this uneducated and unchangeable opinion is pointless and i bet he is still mindless to mma which in itself incorporates many good aspects of boxing...let alone countless other fantastic martial/combat arts.

mma will never die as a high school wrestler i was thrilled to see the basics of wrestler being use as a strong foundation of some fighters styles. and the people that say "when they go to the ground it's gay" those people say that because they don't understand what's going on and you are unable to see some of the complicated submission moves they are trying to throw on each other. try and fight a pro wrestler you may think you're rollin around, next thing you know your arm is broken

MMA is clearly safer than boxing. In boxing, pretty much all they will do is hit each other in the head. MMA has infinetly more possibilites. It is problably going to hurt just as much as a boxing match, but because there are other ways of defeating the opponent then knocking him out it is a lot safer.

What was the reporter doing in the ring "arrgh" everytime Pete touched him.

What a steriotypical uneducated ignorant old man. I don't understand this and it's not to my taste so it's bad!!

Boxing is sadly dead, money, greed and a new alternative has pretty much killed it off in every English speking country.

Idiots like this guy simply harden the resolve of true fans.

Think Irving came accross really well.

no one died in america 10 years ago. he was american but died in an unsanctioned fight in russia or the ukraine which wasnt MMA and was more of a no holds barred/vale tudo fight.
