How many of you are also fans of the UFC/MMA/other combat sports in general?I personally have been a lifelong fan of both, although my interest in the UFC skyrocketed within the past 4 years
>UFC/MMAthey're the same thing. and its boring and gay. i tried to train MMA three times and its literally boring as fuck, its interesting in some ways but so boring.boxing i have liked my entire life, but recently not so much because of the faggotry with saudi arabia and youtubers.
>>20498580used to watch a lot, pretty much completely stopped. I dont care about any of these new guys.
>>20498580I didnt mind UFC up till like 150 or something. Old UFC with no weight classes is pure kino. I've seen royce gracie kick the fat charging samoan guy in the face over 500 times
UFC has been soulless slop since right around mcgegors first peak and flame out. as soon as the brought in the Reebok slop gear it went to shit and the quality of the actual fighting was soon to follow.
I'm a BKFC chad. Fuck pillow fist and islamic cage hump
>>20498605that wasnt royce gracie it was a finnish white supremacist named gerard gordeau
>>20498580I'm a casual fan of both and watch a few big carda/events of the year. wrestling fans are way more corny but at least you guys are racist here
>>20498669Even better
>>20498843everytime im racist on this board i get banned, fucking janniefags
MMA has sucked since Pride went out of business
Does MMA have any waifus?
>>20498580gayest and fakest "sport" of all time.
I watch RIZIN and old Pancrase/Pride. Also watch some K1/Rise/Krush too.
>>20498580>UFC/MMA
>>20498947Not MMA, but kickboxing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mrq_FTjAcVI
only losers care about womeme would perma heem you dead
>>20498580>Skyrocketed in the most dimeless era Explain yourself
>>20498580Yes I also watch UFC but my interest has skyplummeted in the last 4 years due to Dana's jewry and introduction of too many Dagestani/Chechen wrestlefuckers that make fights boring.I'm not gonna miss the White House event though. The card isn't even that good but the spectacle of it will be crazy.
>>20498580I like UFC because I got in on the ground floor. No one alive can remember Babe Ruth, there’s less and less people that saw Wilt Chamberlain every year. Almost everyone who watched the first Super Bowl is now dead. But I remember watching UFC 1 on our black box, I remember getting bootleg copies of Pride at the bodega before they started broadcasting on In Demand. I watched the sport mutate from a freakshow to something resembling a real sport and it’s been cool to see. Wrestling in 2026 is basically unwatchable, UFC is in a down period but there’s at least one good fight every PPV.
Tried getting into during Tito and Chuck but it was pretty boring. Got into hardcore when it was Jones/Anderson Silva/George St Piere all dominating their divisions. Fell off shortly after Anderson broke his leg. Can't get into the maga era, guys know they can be retarded on podcasts to get title shots then they just get shut down by a brazial or a muslim.
>>20500976>Almost everyone who watched the first Super Bowl is now dead.Lolwut. Bro it was 1967 not 1927
Strickland reiterated these views in February 2026, stating that “no one gives a fuck about women’s sports", before adding: "There’s nothing wrong with women. They do great things. They cook, they clean.” He asserted that "too much" empowerment of women has "ruined society".[117]Strickland was a harsh critic of the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show, calling its headliner, Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny, a “fucking faggot” and "a gay foreigner who doesn’t speak fucking English".[117]
>>20501201Do you realize how long ago 1967 was? It may as well be 27. I know it seems like for millennials culture hit the pause button two decades ago but 67 was 60 years ago. If the average NFL fan in the 1960’s was a mid-western middle aged white guy, the sort of person who cared about watching a team from Wisconsin play a team from Missouri in the middle of January, who wasn’t a hippy or either protesting or dying in ‘Nam the vast majority would have to be 90-105 years old right now. Cheese eating fat ass Milwaukee blue collar guys aren’t making it to see 100. There was 60K people in the stadium and 30 million or so watching, around the same amount listening on the radio. 99 percent of them are probably dead right now.
How come kickboxing are not popular if grappling and wrestling too boring for average audiences?
Guru>Dave Meltzer also wrestling and mma both have homosexuals for GOATs
>>20498580I don't watch that fake shit
>>20501488you are a fucking moron lol
>>20499324You think Roman could take Conor in a fight?
I couldn't really ever get into mma myself
MMA chad here. The only thing that's hard to reconcile between MMA and wrestling is that the latter feels so fucking fake and stupid, almost unwatchable. The current UFC lore is also way better than any angle WWE/AEW has right now, by far.
>>20502854this faggot likes grapple tickle lmaoooo
>>20498580I went from wrestling fan in the 90s to MMA fan in the 2000s, then just a casual wrestling fan. But now I don't watch either and I don't have any hope that they'll get any better, so basically I've moved on.
>>20502868Uhhh, yer sir, that's exactly what I like. And it's better than wrestling.
>>20502928For the most part it is, or more accurately was. MMA has been in a major slump since COVID and that's hard to deny. Not financially, of course. Plenty of money marks willing to see bloodshed on a coked-up Las Vegas night. But those aren't necessarily martial arts aficionados.
>>20502942Yeah, but I think it's going up again. Topuria, Poatan, The Fighting Nerds.. there's a lot of talent that the new generation of fans are getting behind. The problem is that Dana is a boxing fag and is trying to promote that shitty zuffa boxing stuff instead of his magnum opus
>>20498580I used to follow boxing religiously, MMA regularly and wrestling and kickboxing casually.Now i just watch everything casually, it's really hard to be a fan of combat sport for an extended period of time; you're supporting individuals not teams so when all your top guys retire it can be hard to find new guys to care about, also unlike team sport "stories" are axed around a few dream fights and in the rare instances when those happens, there's often nothing to look forward to afterward.Like a textboox example is heavyweight boxing right now, there was an insane amount of hype in 2017, but now that Usyk proved to be head and shoulders above everyone in this gen and maybe the next and will most likely retire without putting anyone over, a whole new landscape has to be rebuilt.
>>20503013Crawford is an even better example now that i think of it.It was great to see such a dominant champ, but he left without putting anyone over and it will be hard to generate hype in thos divisions now.
Started watching MMA around 2014, ironically around the same time Phil signed for UFC...I got hooked into it and at the time wrestling was beginning to suck, completely checked out of WWE from 2018 until 2021..came back to find Reigns was dimes....Now MMA is on a downward spiral...
>>20502854What UFC lore lmao? White vanilla midget vs black vanilla midget vs latinx vanilla midget vs mountain vanilla midget? There's no fucking lore anymore, which is why they have to resort to semi-political grifting just to get some attention like Gaped Strickland.UFC died with top heel Connor in 2018.
>>20502928Looks gay somehow.
>>20503026you forgot about all the muslim fighters now. it's all skinnyfats and muslims these days no wonder nobody talks about UFC
>>20500976>Wrestling in 2026 is basically unwatchableThis. I don't understand how anyone can stomach watching this tripe on a weekly basis. I only watch 10 minute highlights just to know what's going on, but the idea of 3 hours of RAW, and then 2 hours of NXT, 2 hours of Smackdown, 2 hours of AEW, and if there's a PPV, another 3 hours of that....That would make me shoot go insane, due to how awful the general product is, and that's not even including the indies...No wonder this board is so autistic
>>20498580MMA is the gayest shit ever and the fans online are unironically the biggest marks and closeted homosexuals of any "sports" fanbase which says a lot when you have nigger worshipping whites sucking off NBA and NFL nogs.
>>20503030Muslim fighters are under the mountain vanilla midget category
Is this the thread where MMAfags try to cope with how bad their products are nowadays?
>>20500976> I watched the sport mutate from based to dimeless and it’s been cool to see
>>20502942Is this how an MMA smark look like?
>>20503190Can't be worse than the state of mandrama
