If MMA was like boxing

[WHITE ANDERSON]

if MMA was like boxing:

no guys dropping out the day of the fight because they miss weight

belts mean something because they are recognized as real belts and not prizes awarded by a promotion

clean sport with guys who can actually take a punch and not guys who get knocked out in 13 seconds

fighters get to express themselves with custom shorts, walkouts

lots of A list celebrities like king lebron james

real sponsors like bud light not dude wipes

no drug cheat pro wrestlers getting title shots

no nazi wife beaters, nfl reject woman beaters, comic book nerds who get kicked out of porn woman beaters

fighters actually move up multiple weight classes instead of talking about it for years and never doing it

headliners make guaranteed a million dollars for a televised fight even if it's not on ppv

GGG vs Canelo 2 was close

STFU

It was but GGG won it and he absolutely won the first..
Vagas ain't it..

Isn't MMA already like this? Instead of WBA, WBC, IBF, etc, we have UFC, Bellator, ONE, etc.

yes, UFC fans are just less educated about their sport and don't realize how legitimate Bellator champs and ONE Champs are, PFL has a good talent pool too.

Undercard of Mayweathers last fight a guy missed weight and lost his belt for it, though he was still able to box.

Canelo recently failed a test for a banned substance.

Boxing is not clean when it comes to judging.

Your other points are good though.

is not like that at all

every belt holder will be a UFC fighter

 

[ArtOfDrowning]

Every street has a boxing world champ

 

[codfather]

Pro boxing has 17 weight classes and 5 major world title belts per class, totalling 85 major world title belts... and that's just the men.

His Aldo point isn't valid because of Jacobs finishing Peter Quillin in just over a minute (and that's in a sport with a 10 count). Also the big stars come out for big UFC events and the UFC has sponsors like Harley Davidson, Bud Light, Reebok, Monster, EA Sports etc..

name a boxer who got knocked out in 13 seconds who is considered the GOAT of his weight class

i'll wait

I'm sure Dempsey was considered the GOAT at one point and he was ko'd in 25 seconds. Also with a 10 count that would not have been a 13 second ko.
