Honestly, i'm baffled with the amount of people who put so much effort into shitting all over this sport. It's like they're actively looking for reasons to discredit its athletes, while praising people from other walks of life. MMA might be one of the, if not the hardest sport in the world. You gotta strike, you gotta wrestle, you gotta grapple on the ground, if you get dropped, nobody immediately saves you like in boxing; you gotta try to recover. You have to be able to endure 25 minutes of getting kneed and elbowed in the face. Soccer players take a kick to the knees and stay home for the next 8 months. MMA fighters take 100 low kicks and often keep going. You have guys gushing blood all over the place still going for it like savages. No other sport requires the same kind of heart. I've trained martial arts for decades, and i've played soccer. I can play soccer for 90 minutes. I can't fight for 90 minutes.
Then we have this love for basketball players. They jump and run. WOW! I'm blown. And boxers! They punch. That's it. If they get wabbled, someone immediately saves them. They don't get to have someone on top of them elbowing their face. They don't even feel the knuckled that hit them because they fight with pillows.
So, what's going on here, exactly? If you don't like the sport, i get it. Don't watch it. But you're on an MMA forum talking garbage about MMA athletes? And praising basketball players, football players and youtubers turned boxers?
Just tell me you're trolling. You can't be that stupid.
