Do you think we will ever see UFC matches under TKO Zuffa Boxing in the near future?

Doubt it. Dana was pretty adamant about keeping UFC and Zuffa Boxing separate

This may sound weird, but I really it for the 2 sport to combine. I want to see mma matches on a boxing ring ala PRIDE.

I can't think of a scenario that makes sense for it. Unless it's like youtube/celebrity/prowrestling MMA

They're not going to become any sort of feeder system.

And I would think any good MMA bout they promote would be better served under the UFC banner.

I think combining both Boxing and the UFC into 1 event will somehow prevent any lackluster cards.

 

[Skarsgard]

I mean, ONE FC does it pretty flawlessly. The UFC could probably make it work.

 

[ninja boot]

Probably not but I can see a scenario where SLAP is branded as a primer for UFC events during an events weigh-ins. I have no idea how they draw fans for that trash.

 

[Hymen Crusher]

Not until that ali act is changed and he can fuck boxers over. No chance your having that pay discrepancy on the same card

 

[El Fernas]

There is TKO Boxing/Zuffa Boxing and then there is the UFC for MMA, we wont see matches from either sport in the other promotion, but its funny how the UFC´s youtube channel is promoting Canelo vs Crawford with an Embedded series this week.

 

[Ares Black]

Why would we?

So, go watch ONE lol. They have this frequently. It fucking sucks lol.

You want to see a ref really work, watch them try to ref a fight with two grapplers getting tangled up in the ropes for 15 mins haha. It's stupid.

"Flawlessly"?

Brother, what? Anytime there's a lot of grappling the refs are having to constantly untangle them from the ropes or pull parts of their body back inside the ropes, etc. It's an absolute mess.

Boxing is trash
Need to keep that far away from MMA

Punch, punch, clinch… punch, punch, clinch

 

[xhaydenx]

I fucking hope not.

Nothing would turn me off more than having to wait through garbage boxing just to get to MMA fights.

You don't know what you're talking about, clearly.

It's not just "Punch, punch, clinch… punch, punch, clinch".

It's Punch, punch, clinch… punch, punch, clinch . . . rigged decision to set up a rematch of more punch, punch, clinch.

If you can’t hammer fist a guy in the face when he’s half KO’d on the ground, then it’s just not my jam

BKFC is pretty fun, but most regular boxing matches are boring to me these days
And I used to be a big boxing fan before I got into MMA

Replace the 10 count with 10 seconds of hammer fists on the grounded opponent!

Could you be thinking of Rizin? One uses a cage.

 

[xhaydenx]

No. ONE uses a ring for it's weekly cards. They often have 2-3 MMA fights per card. It doesn't work well at all with the ropes lol.

They only use the cage for their bigger events that are more MMA than MT.
