MMA fans have very sensitive feelings.
They get too flustered when soemone does like their sport.
Hey, if you want to watch grown men in speedos, paint their toe nails and wrap their legs around each other…. that’s cool. Just don’t be too stunned when others aren’t hip to that jazz.
I wrestled in middle school and high school…. and I don’t like it. Yes, I get leverage and fulcrums…. so I guess I ‘get’ mma. But I just don’t like it.

I guess i’m old school like your pops who you were thinking about beating because he does like mma (then thought better off it because of how he took care of you) – *kind of disturbing that you would even think to fight someone who disagrees with you*.
I’m old school like your pops because I would rather watch boxing than mma. MMA fans like to say “but we’re killing boxing” – which I find hard to believe when I see that Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao have brought in close to 5 million ppv buys for their matches alone.

i think icha pretty much nailed it on the head. usually when i am to say that mma is boring to an mma fanboy they’ll tell me i dont understand it. i think by now most casual observers understand whats going on. its still very hard to watch. i put it on par with watching golf.

icha, sorry to take so long to reply. I found this comment by chance while reflecting. First off, if you choose to believe these sports are boring, I am fine with that. I am not a baseball fan myself. However, I pray that icha isn’t a name honoring “handball.” I watched highlight reels and wanted to carve out my own eyes. It offers the same level of excitement as curling during the winter olympics. Moral to the story, I would save the ‘gay’ comment and in your case even the ‘boring’ one.

It is boring.
Just because someone doesn’t find it interesting doesn’t mean that they don’t understand it.
I understand baseball…. and I find it boring.
I understand mma…. and I find it boring and gay.

[...] want to close by addressing the person who said MMA isn’t a sport. MMA meets every criteria for a sport. In fact, I would love to have many other athletes take [...]

I agree, mma bores me to tears. So what if you have perfected some “art” of ground fighting. I want to see men go toe to toe and punch to punch instead of watching some guy get bored into submission because another man is able to keep him from getting up off the ground. People who think mma is worth watching are the same people who think soccer is a real sport. Actually, they both bore me to tears.

that’s true brother! jiu jitsu rocks! although im just a beginner, when we roll for a 5 full minutes, i get exhausted. very different from boxing wherein you can stick and fly… here, you’ll have to be fast and mentally alert…
