This is straight laughable.

50-6-2 with 44 of those 50 being KOs says something of the man.

It says he was an awesome boxer.

both are run by crooks and its not much fun

sure a k/o or a choke is hillarious but the thrill of fairness is long gone

I find the UFC more entertaining because the rounds are longer meaning there is more chance for something to happen and there is variation like grappling, takedowns, chokes and variety in strikes.

Camera work in UFC is also a lot better than boxing. You get a clearer and cleaner look at the action. Plus the gloves in boxing kinda ruin it, it is almost like watching people hit each other with batons like in galditaors. Fist sized gloves look better when UFC fighters punch each other. Longer rounds are better as wekk.

striking is a part of MMA & tyson is notorious for his punching power

most MMA fighters are brawlers anyways which is suicide against Tyson...

he'd connect & KO most MMA fighters easily considering the only thing they can do is try & close the distance & grapple him.

Bias MMA fans are biased

BS most MMA fighters either grapple or slug it out.
rarely do you see technical striking unless its anderson silva

reason i stopped watching it

I don't know when you stopped watching, but the talent pool in MMA is now much, MUCH deeper than it used to be. There are plenty of talented strikers I've never even heard of who fight on the prelims now.

Of course, there are brawlers out there though. Chris Leben comes to mind.

I stopped watching it a few years ago.
even still I won't take peoples word on what's going on then or now
considering the fans are more or less the same.

I was a fan then, and I'm a fan now. I can tell you that striking has improved dramatically across the board. You've got kids now like Renan Barao and Rory MacDonald that are absolute dynamos and are only getting better with each fight.

They suck.

It's all about Nate Diaz, homie.

F*ck you. F*ck the Diaz bros. F*ck Stockton.

Lets be honest if anyone in MMA had good enough hands to be competitive in Boxing, then they'd be Boxing. The Boxing money is so much better, it's easier and less physically demanding, there is no reason to be in the UFC if you can Box.

Let's be honest, the only people making money in boxing are those at the top. Nobody makes Mayweather/Pacquiao money except for those two. Everybody else is getting paid peanuts in comparison.
