Pacquiao > MMA ...

























...[X_x]

I don't think I was expecting to become such an MMA fan here lmao.


I actually disrespected Anderson Silva in this thread. Man the last four years have been so fucking different. Dude has been my screen saver for over a year now.

Why did I say that Machida Vs Evans was one of the best fights in UFC ever?

Fuck 18 year old me!

Boxing. It's pure and focused.

Watching MMA is like watching a jack of all trades but a master of none.

Watching an MMA fighter try to throw a punch makes me think "I could be watching boxing right now"

Watching an MMA fighter try and throw a kick makes me think "I could be watching a Tony Jaa movie right now"

Watching an MMA fighter try to grapple, suplex and roll around the floor for a submission in tiny pants makes me think "I could be watching wrestling right now but I'm not 12"

Then I watch Khan dismantle Alexander with amazing hand speed and technique and I think "wow"

With the Tony Jaa reference, that's like me saying "I could be watching a Rocky film right now".

The lack of any decent opponents fighting each other in boxing has completely turned me off of it.

Include the fact that in the past so many years, they've not had the fights UFC has (Bigfoot Vs Hunt, Hendo Vs Shogun, Sanchez Vs Gilbert etc.), MMA has become waaaaaaaaaay out in front for me.

No because Rocky doesn't look anywhere near as good as a quality boxer/boxers putting their craft to work.

Where as an MMA fighter doesn't look anywhere near as smooth as skillful as Jaa kicking the shit out of a bunch of goons.

Tony Jaa doesn't look as quality as MMA fighters because you can obviously tell it's a choreographed move. You don't see the connection of the shot.

If you don't think there are clean and amazing looking techniques in MMA, he's some gifs from one year in UFC.

I don't. I just think MMA is over rated. If it came to fighting a quality lightweight boxer or a quality LW MMA fighter in the street I'd obviously take my chances with the boxer. But I'd much rather watch the former.

Fighters like Rigendoux for example technically put these guys to shame.

Why is Shotty Horroh being kicked in the face in the last gif here?

Everytime I watch the Chuck Liddel(sp?) .gif here, I expect him to follow through with the back fist. And he never does.
