For some reason, I find it very satisfying to see how the evolution of MMA has led it back to being basically Boxing matches.
Any one else see this?
Plenty of current MMA fights are basically sloppy, amateurish-looking Boxing matches...almost like Toughman contests though the participants are in way better condition than Toughmen participants.
These diehard MMA-only loyalists especially like to rag on Boxing, but their favorite fights that get them on the edge of their seats are the sloppy slugfests that are basically Boxing matches. Many outright boo when the guys are on the ground too much working for submissions, and even the referees appear to be quite anxious to stand the guys back up quick...almost like there's an agenda from higher up about keeping the action on overdrive with strikes. They even pay bonuses for KO of the night to encourage the standup.
I encourage ass kicking on a daily basis. I ply 5000 mg of ass kicking everyday. I tell my kids punching their male teacher's groin makes their pee pee bigger.
*Allen does not have kids, but if he does, I imagine that is something he would encourage his kids to do.
