No. It's just kickboxing, not MMA. There were some good knockouts sure, but they could have been avoided if takedowns were allowed. People know this now and won't like watching it. My belief is, in the world of full contact fighting sports, boxing and MMA will end up reigning supreme. Everything else will take a back seat.

I don't know about that. I'd take the WCL over a Tim Sylvia bout any day of the week.

Don't forget that K-1 kickboxing is more popular than Pride MMA worldwide. Kickboxing is a very exciting sport if marketed properly, and it may be found in the long run to be more palatable to the general public than the brutality of MMA.

With respect,

I agree with you here, Sohan. K-1 is a lot of fun to watch, but I have always liked stand-up sports like that and boxing.

The downfall of the MMA matches is that they can stall out, and unless you have a deep appreciation of what that martial style is about, you just get bored by it.

Being a martial artists, I have a reasonable understanding of what the different types of competitions are trying to accomplish, and I can therefore watch each without trying to compare them to one another. This allows me to enjoy each different competition for what it is.
