Wow old man, spoken like a true middle-aged fanboy. = P

Of course mma standup isn't at the level of boxing. Boxing is all standup.
Mixed martial arts is every other martial art style you can think of.

If you can't see that then you're not as smart as you'd like yourself to believe, with your crabby panties-in-a-bunch attitude. =]

A boxing round is 3 mins of standup hugging.
36 mins of dancing in boxing boots like an Acme cartoon.

MMA rounds are 5 mins of defending takedowns, submissions, head kicks, leg kicks, judo throws .. and strikes.
A MMA title fight is 5 rounds. That's 25 mins of working every muscle in your body.

If you aren't able to understand that about MMA you don't even know what you're talking about. [Which is already quite apparent]

I don't think you can appreciate all the disciplines of Mixed Martial Arts because you're sitting here complaining about heavyweights and how they aren't amazing conventional boxers.

P.S. - Fedor Emelianenko lost finally. Not due to great standup but by double submission: Armbar Triangle Choke.

My point is: of course MMA standup is sloppy. You have four or five other modes of attack you have to calculate and defend against.

The standup talent isn't anywhere near the level of boxing. Is all i'm going to say and if you can't see that then your not as smart as you would like people to believe, with your pompus arrogant attitude.

the reason they were throwing haymakers was because they had to fight A 10 round match, (something mma athletes are not physiclly capable of)they were completly exhausted

...if you weren't able to understand that about fighting/boxing then i really don't know why i'm wasting my time, because you don't even know what your talking about.

mma is a good sport. I can appreciate all of the disciplines, my favorite fighter is emilionenko-- i'm not spell checking that name--, and my favorite style is sambo, it's far and away the best fighting discipline.

My point is mma needs to step up it's standup game it's sloppy.

In reply to this comment by moonsammy:
Awe. Some. I've never even heard of MMA before - may have to look into it if it is even close to this cool with any regularity. Anyone know if it is, or was this an exceptional occurrence?

Here is Choi's fight with Fedor Emelianenko in MMA. The size differential isn't quite so large, and I think it's a bit more satisfying.


There's still quite a difference in size, but it's more satisfying because Fedor is awesome to watch in action.

Here is Choi's fight with Fedor Emelianenko in MMA. The size differential isn't quite so large, and I think it's a bit more satisfying.

But if you happen to be attacked by a pack of drunkards, or dumb guys from a disco, well, I guess if you are well trained you can defeat any number of them.

I completely disagree with you. You are honestly underestimating how much of a difference an extra man in a fight can make. Anybody who thinks they can reasonably take on two men and have a better chance of winning than losing is delusional, or Fedor Emelianenko.

It's not too hard for one guy to run in, bear hug you, then pull you to the ground and keep you there while the other guy kicks your face in from the side. Takes no skill, takes no particular courage, just two bozos who are sufficiently motivated to injure you. And that's just with two guys. What happens when you add a third? Or a fourth? Or, as Ryjkyj seems to believe, an eighth?

C'mon, be reasonable.
