I'm gonna reply to this thread simply because...I find so many things wrong + I detect a kind of snobbishness and ignorance which kind of pisses me off.
I've played a bit of golf and have wrassled (a little bit of striking experience) and I am telling you...they are nothing alike.
People who havent put enough thought into things are quick to delve into so-called "similarities" when really they haven't even scratched the surface regarding the core differences. You are seriously gonna compare the mental, physical process involved in setting up a triangle or kimura (which is actually highly dependent on your opponent's skills and body composition) with getting a friggin par or eagle?
The differences are quite substantial...one sport you use a metal rod to swing, there are many environmental factors that come into play (wind, grass condition, course difficulty)..another you use nothing but your bare body .
I cannot say which sport has more complexity, but I can say that they involve different kinds of complexity. The confusion here is that everyone has a different definition of athleticism (and rightfully so).
I believe MMA is a sport that requires an immense amount of training and dedication. Yes shit goes crazy when your dealing with heavyweights, but bring it down to the lightweight, welterweight level, and it really is a game of inches (different kind of inches from putting)
