Or when they're faced with a dumb white belt thread. C'mon man, you've been here too long to be making threads like this...

This is wasteland material.
 
I'd prefer
Buakaw vs Floyd mayweather
Sittichai vs Conor McGregor

Both would get destroyed by knees. A bit lame but good for publicity even if it will never happen
 
What if they fought Kickboxing Full Contact rules!?
 
floyd and conor vs Peter Aerts K1 rules .....

go!
 
Bobb Sapp vs Conor McGregor?
 
Mike Tyson vs Bruce Lee is the real discussion to be had here. A complete toss up. Could go either way.

The complaints are just that they have to watch it. When they get over that, it becomes much more useful and makes up the basis of their UFC fandom.

"Man, I hate watching this wrestlefucking. This guy should be cut!"

"Lololol a boxer wouldn't be able to stop a double leg on the street in a real fight. Lololol UFC flyweights would beat Anthony Joshua in a real fight lolololololololol."

The latter always wins out.

...

Sorry, but the UFC fan doesn't care about any middle ground.

Conor would get picked apart and maybe stopped, but the contrast in personalities would be pretty funny. But I mean I don't get the purpose of this thread, kickboxing orgs can't even get top fighters to fight each other at the moment. What chance are they gonna have of pulling off any fight of that magnitude?

I was thinking about this the other day after the speculation going around about a rematch between floyd and conor which under boxing makes no sense. I dont see how they will make good money off a boxing rematch. Under boxing its unfair for conor and under mma its unfair for floyd yet no one brings up kickboxing. That's something that makes sense since they're both somewhat meeting in the middle.

Floyd could bring in a couple southpaws like Sittichai and Wei Rui as sparring partners. You could even throw them both on the under card sittichai vs Max Holloway and Wei Rui vs Cody Garbrandt. Now you have the attention of the Chinese and the Thai's.

But there seems to be a common theme in the US. Its either mma or boxing and no middle ground yet the majority of complaints MMA gets is the ground game and the majority of complaints boxing gets is it being limited. That makes a sport like kickboxing seem perfect so it confuses me why it doesn't get promoted more in the states.

I always come across people in real life and even on this subforum asking why kickboxing isn't popular? That goes to show the sport has huge potential but needs the right push. The Chinese, Japanese and European market kickboxing already has added on to an American market could do some damage.

Look at all these countries and good fighters who can fight at the same weight:

Thailand: Sittichai Sitsongpeenong
Italy: Giorgio Petrosyan
France: Dylan Salvador
Germany: Enriko Kehl
Russia: Khayal Dzhaniev
Holland: Robin Van Roosmalen
China: Qiu Jianliang
Japan: Yasuhiro Kido
Belarus: Chingiz Allazov
Morocco: Mohamed Mezouari
Belgium: Marat Grigorian
Spain: Nayanesh Ayman
UK: Jordan Watson

National pride sells and a promotion like the UFC (for example) could have most of these guys fight in a 70kg kb tournament in a cage with mma gloves. Maybe you could even throw in Ireland represented by Conor McGregor since he's known for his "great striking", bring in an American UFC fighter with good striking and even Jose Aldo could represent Brazil. That shit would make tons of money but instead I'm hearing how UFC want to start promoting boxing as if they forgot about the middle ground.

Dana is warming up your new chair on the board of UFC executives, as we speak.
 
Nah at this point Sapp crumbles after one shot. McGregor wins via first side kick thrown to the body.

What about Hong Man Choi? Maybe Giant Silva can come out of retirement.

Look what you've done @Julius_Caesar I hope you're happy.
