I'm a boxer and I honestly don't care for this whole "MMA versus boxing" thing. Someone once said that:

"Kickboxing (and thus basically MMA) is a savage sport performed by gentleman. Boxing is a gentlemans sport performed by savages". In other words, two different sides of sport.

Anyone performing MMA anyway?

Then you'd be opposed to boxing, kickboxing, etc then, correct?

Errr. . . is this directed at me?

I like both, but I dislike the hugs and jiujitsu parts of MMA, and I also dislike when in boxing matches it turns to a hit, hug, and walk back fight, taking it to many rounds of guys exhausted and not doing much.

So, it depends on the fighter, but I prefer some martial arts tournaments fights. I have to say Boxing has a lot more of tradition and I think that gives it a plus(thank movies like Rocky) but it seems nowadays its just a shadow of what it used to be.

People are going to know what I'm talking about when I say UFC. People might not know what MMA is. Let's not split hairs here.

This. I love when people have to get all technical to sound smart.

I do a pretty traditional Korean Tae Kwon Do. My main qualm with MMA is that I've had it just absolutely pounded into my head, over and over that we never use martial arts to attack someone. Martial arts are for self-defense and for health, not beating the crap out of someone. It goes against what I have been taught about martial arts.

So you do pretty areobic excercise with selfrightous psyshological mumbo jumbo talked over you agian and agian.  

Well i feel sorry for you, what you have been tough is lies since all MAs history is blood soaked and full of death.   They were and still are arts of war.

Hilarious part is TKD is useless as self defence, its teaches no defence at all.  Please go take a real self-defence class if that is what you were going for when you got doped into TKD.

Its common sense.

You would not go Basketball VS English Premier League now would you ?

Especially when you are trying to comparing two world wide sports yet confining one to a promotion that runs 99% of its activities in NA only.

Yeah but Oldschoolfool is right, most people will know what UFC is but not everyone will know what MMA is/stands for. Even though you're right UFC is a brand its clearly the brand which is most popular in MMA. Kind of like how people say Kleenex and you know they're talking about tissues, or if they say jacuzzi you know they're talking about hot tubs, etc.
