Serious question, Boxing or MMA, /fit/?
Which one is better for fitfags?
>>37049918
Define "better."
well both will get you in shape and allow you to beat up 98% of the populace. considering /fit/ is all about lifting though, mma.

Boxing if you want to have the mental faculties of an 8 year old by the time you are 40. MMA if you don't want to be retarded by the time you are 40--assuming the MMA gym you go to isn't big on striking.

>>37049918
well, in MMA you can lift people, so I say MMA is better
MMA if you dont mind getting injured a lot
>>37050681
It's completely different. In MMA, you have to keep out of kicking range and also stay lower to avoid takedowns. Obviously your striking is going to be negatively affected.
MMA with the focus on BJJ.. Brazilian jiu-jitsu... improves overall strength and forces you into being more flexible.
I'm going to say boxing, remember that MMA fighters aka fucking animals practice more than one martial art, if you train MMA"at an MMA gym you're going to end up half assing a lot of things
why does this system think I'm spam though?
please let me post
>>37049918
boxing , its much intenser . it will kill you fysically.
boxing is about achieving perfection in speed and power . mma is being shit in every way. no need for perfection just need to trow some jabs thats it.
boxing is a whole nother level of training.
>>37050132
dumb motherfucker .
MMA chokes people out for fun. you can get a heartattack or your Vains will get fucked.
"primarily deprive the brain of blood flow by compressing the internal carotid artery in the neck."
"Compression of both (one on either side of the neck) carotid arteries for eight-to-10 seconds is likely to render a person unconscious. It takes several minutes of lack of blood flow to the brain (somewhere in the range of four-to-six minutes) before permanent damage to the brain is likely to occur."
>>37050132
"Here’s where things can get a bit tricky and far more dangerous.
In the internal carotid artery lies a very important structure called the carotid sinus or bulb. Next to this artery runs the vagus nerve. Compressing these structures causes the body to respond in some very significant ways – primarily decreasing blood pressure and heart rate. Some people (usually unbeknown to them) can have a hypersensitive carotid sinus which when compressed/stimulated can cause a profound drop in blood pressure and heart rate. In these cases, a dangerously irregular heart beat (arrhythmia) can ensue."

>>37051918
Lmao I'm guessing you've never wrestled in your life
i think they're both really good. MMA is more versatile in my opinion because when i spar i always do leg kicks and fakes.
Both have crazy amounts of cardio, both do stand up but mma also has wrestling which really drains you since you always have to be straining.
It's honestly up to your personal preference.

Boxing if you are going to have a boxing match. MMA if you are going to have a mixed martial arts match.
Either if you are just going to fight normies who don't train.
MMA is way better
For a /fit/fag? MMA hands down. Less Cardio dependent and if you suck ass you can just use your "mass" to throw overhand rights with your eyes closed or wrastlefuck someone and smother them with your "gains".
But really I do MMA and I can't keep up with dedicated boxers, their cardio and striking is just too good within the confines of their sport.
MMA because lifting.

..At laying on people?

>>37056875
1)Less cardio dependent as the rounds are shorter and the volume of striking is usually lower
2) The whole "gains" thing was said with sarcasm implying that most /fit/izens are actually just fat and would lay on their opponents
3) As someone who competes in MMA solely, it is extremely probable that you will lose a boxing match to a BOXER AKA "within the confines of their sport"
For example one of Anderson Silva's coaches said that he he couldn't hang with the LH boxers at his gym.
GTFO with your normie shit fuccboi.

>>37057195
Lol you're a fucking cunt m8.
Let's do some math here:
Let's assume it's a non-title fight and is 10 rounds vs MMA 3 rounds of 5, while also assuming it goes the distance.
30>15
I bet it's difficult having Down syndrome.
>>37057268
No shit that's why I said within their sport.
>>37049918
>canada and france
>>37057543
But that's not what you said. You didn't say they fight for longer, you said the rounds are literally shorter which factually untrue
5>3
But lets throw out some more math, in both boxing and MMA you are allowed 1 minute of rest between rounds.
So lets assume it's a non-title fight and so ten 3 minute rounds and five 5 minute rounds.
The MMA fighter does 15 minutes of intense cardio with 3 minutes of rest.
The boxer does 30 minutes of cardio with 10 minutes of rest.
So the MMa fighter rests for 1/5 of his fight while the boxer rests for 1/3rd of his fight.
On top of that fighting for 5 minutes is far more tiring than fighting for 3 minutes, it's nearly twice as long after all.
What do you think is harder, running for 1 hour straight or running for 40 minutes, then resting, then running for 40 minutes?
> I bet it's difficult having Down syndrome.
That's a pretty safe bet to make when you have it aye?
> No shit that's why I said within their sport.
Yes, you fucking moron, the point is that it's a stupid thing to say.
Lets follow the conversation
"What's better, boxing or MMA?"
"Boxing, you'll beat an MMA guy in a boxing match"
Saying "You should learn boxing over MMA because you would win in a boxing match" is fucking retarded, for one thing the "logic" goes both ways, as in, I could counter that point by just saying "You should learn MMA, you'd beat a boxer in an MMA match"
It doesn't answer the question because it is fucking stupid. No shit the boxer wins in a boxing match, the basketballer also wins in a 1v1 basketball game, doesn't make basketball better than MMA.
If the question is "What is better, boxing or MMA?" and your answer is "Well if you learn boxing you'll win a boxing match" it's time to take your meds autist.
>>37057489
guess muslims aren't so bad
>>37049918
Boxing is pretty much entirely calisthenics and cardio (think sit ups and jump rope, push ups, planks and jogging).
Many boxing coaches explicitly disapprove of lifting.
MMA incorporates grappling (wrestling, judo etc. etc.) for which lifting plays a significant, positive role.
tl;dr if you want to keep your gains go mma, if you just want to punch shit and don't care so much about being aesthetic (not that it's impossible to look good as a boxer but it will take more of a backseat than it would in mma) go boxing
>>37057687
You seem triggered friend. Sorry for saying round instead of bout, I figured someone with your expertise in the field would have caught on to what I meant. You're still neglecting the volume of strikes between the two, which counts. I can tell you're a Tapout wearing fight-fan though, so I'll cut you some slack. Come back and talk when you have at least 10 fights as an amateur with a positive record and then we can talk, until then heem yourself.
>>37058055
> Sorry for saying round instead of bout, I figured someone with your expertise in the field would have caught on to what I meant.
Nice backpedalling, but "Boxing rounds are longer than MMA rounds" is pretty clear cut, you fucked up, just admit it.
Only a retard would say "Boxing rounds are longer" when they meant "Boxing fights are longer"
You didn't counter the point of far more rest time.
You didn't counter the point that 5 minutes of straight fighting is much more draining than 3 minutes of straight fighting.
I'm gonna need a source on volume of strikes before I bother to counter it (And you're neglecting the physical effort in involved in takedowns and wrestling, which counts)
> I can tell you're a Tapout wearing fight-fan though, so I'll cut you some slack.
Nice strawman, but I don't own a single piece of tapout clothing. Obviously I am a fight fan though, otherwise why would I comment on a thread about fighting styles?
> Come back and talk when you have at least 10 fights as an amateur with a positive record
1: What's your record?
2: This is a fallacy, your dismissing my argument because I don't have 10 fights with a positive record, but we are talking about how your logic sucks, I don't need to be an MMA fighter to point out the flaws in your argument.
Come back when you have half a brain, until then "heem" yourself.

The American bias is pretty clear, the top 5 are virtually only sports American's care about (With the exception of Ice-Hockey, which only American's and Canadians care about)
> Inb4 Pacquio and Fury
Yes, the Philippines love their one famous boxer, and England has a long history of boxing, but seriously, look at the top 5. Boxing, who's most famous stars are all American (Mayweather, Tyson, Ali, Foreman, Marciano etc) Ice Hockey which is basically only played in America and Canada, "Football" (If you didn't need any more proof of bias that they call this "Football" and they call real football "Soccer") which is literally only played in America, Basketball where the only teams in the world that matter are American and wrestling which only American highschool have as a competitive sports program.
Things like rowing won't make the cut because the American panel barely remember it exists.

Boxing.
MMA is a bunch of white trash losers rolling around on the ground like gays. Boxing is a legendary sport with a great history.
Boxing champions are legendary athletes, remembered throughout history not just as brilliant sportsmen but global heroes. MMA "champions" tend to be nobodies who get lucky and fall into irrelevancy a few years after they get beaten by a younger, stronger contender.
