Sweet Jesus! I thought this thread was dead and I come back in a week and missed out on the classic MMA vs Boxing debate. Damn!
MMA and boxing are 2 entirely different sports; much respect to both...
But I will say this:
Boxing is to checkers as MMA is to chess.
Boxing = striking
MMA = striking, grappling (fighting on the ground) and clinch work.
MMA is the truest combat sport in that its' ultimate goal is to contrast fighting styles. Can the solid striker KO the solid grappler before being taken to the ground and submitted?
