Watching UFC tonight I have seen knockouts, wrestling, takedowns, chokeholds, different styles of martial arts, and more complex and exciting bouts. I'm not here saying there are not boring fights or let downs in MMA, but imo there's just a whole world of different aspects that make it superior.
Imo mma is borderline staged. In boxing if you are out of position or have your hands down you will get caught. Too many grey areas in mma for me. Hands around necks but not actually choking. What are the rules on bending your opponents joints? When their standing squared up wtf do they embrace each others heads waiting on the other to knee? Don't get me started on the ground "game".
Too hokey pokey for me.
