boxing was the first sport i fell in love with, but all the bullshit it has really worn thin with me. i was always a big fan of the ufc, since around 1995 when i was first introduced to royce gracie. in the last decade i have become a much bigger fan of mma for the simple reason of having to deal with a ton less crap. there are still judging problems, but there is also the added benefit of having 1 champion per weight class, a real noble concept

its also nice to see the best fight the best in their primes, another ball that boxing has dropped. its great when you shell out $50+ for a ppv to have more than 1 meaningful fight on the card, although boxing has caught up a little bit in recent years. it does help mma tremendously having one dominant brand, the ufc, as opposed to the fragmented boxing landscape though.
