It's not fighting if you put one rule in saying you can't stomp someone - but then say it's perfectly legal to lay down and try to get under the feet of your opponent.

That's not fair.

Boxing is true fighting.

Boxing is true fighting.

MMA is a mixture of all the fighting disciplines out there. Wrestling and Judo (Where the take downs come from, or as you so eloquently put it "lay down and try to get under the feet of your opponent.") Boxing, Karate, BBJ, etc.

In none of those sports is stomping on the face of an opponent legal. Your argument is weak.

I used to be a boxing guy but due to the lack of anyone decent out there to watch I made the swtch some time ago.

There is many more technical aspects to MMA than boxing ever can have. So much more to prepare for both offensively and defensively.

How dare they call Silva the best pound for pound fighter in the world.

He wouldn't last a second against PBF.


You're nuts


I take it you've never seen PBF fight?

He is 20 times the athlete that Silva is. It wouldn't even be a challenge for PBF.

Ricky Hatton would destroy Silva as well.


I have seen him fight many times. It would also depend on what type of fighting. PBF would have no chance in the octagon.


I don't consider the octagon fighting.

If they can go to the ground to try and take you down (Silva's one and only shot to beat PBF) you should be able to stomp their faces.

Why is stomping so bad? Going to the ground like a b!tch is much worse.


Unlike boxing, they care if people are seriously injured/die.

Going to the ground like a ****? 90% of real fights end up on the ground.

Right, boxing has no rules or limitations at all.

You cant stomp someone in boxing either.  So its not real fighting either.

I wish the Pope would come back and play.
