>MMA

Is MMA honestly a sport? I've never seen anyone like UFC or MMA except for white trash Americans & some retarded huehue favela-dwelling Brazilians.

I think it appealed to white trash in America because whites in America could no longer compete in boxing (although not all white men in general) so they looked to something else -- although of course Slavs (Beasts from the East) are now dominating boxing.

It has judges, so no, it's not a sport.

You definition of whether or not something is a sport depends on...who watches it?
Forgive my rudeness, but aren't you really just trying to say that you are superior to MMA fans?
>>
>>66039789
how is it not
>>
>>66039866
It is but the other competitors performance have arguably zero impact on how you perform. Though combat sports have judges, which I assume the other dude was trying to equate MMA to figure skating and rhythmic gymnastics, at least there's another human trying to directly mess your shit up

I genuinely laughed when someone posted in another thread how Conor McMeme should've become a boxer, he would starve as a boxer

it's not a sport. they should go to /asp/ with judo/thai boxing/WWE.

MMA is the original sport. All other sports are games.

Honestly no, it's fucking retard entertainment that only complete white dindus practice. Literally every person I know who does MMA is a fucking idiot who has massive insecurity issues and tries to fight everyone.

>>66039644
100% correct. White americans gravitated to watching mma because they had many more fighters to identify with there. White/american/english speaking fighters have largely been ejected from boxing and that demo of fans jumped on the mma bandwagon as a last refuge. the bad news is minorities and foreigners are going to take mma over too. its a great white hope "sport."

Boxers come from trash of any kind of background...
not in the MMA sense mind you, because those guys are white trailer trash and favela niggers in all the sense of the word, but still trash.

There is few and in-between exceptions and they never end up being stellar

MMA is for idiot children with no concept of how to devise a sport. The secret always lies in the limitations (no forward passing, no picking up the ball, no running without dribbling, etc), and all these 13-year-olds looked at boxing and thought, "Wouldn't it be so much better with fewer restrictions on what you can do?" The answer, of course, is no; it makes it a far worse sport. You might as well decide the UFC would be EVEN MORE RAD if every competitor had A BILLION MACHINE GUNS and so you started a sport where people just shoot each other. It probably sounds great if you have the mind of a nine-year-old, but if you're old enough to ride a bike alone, you should really watch boxing instead.

Whites strive for careers. It's pretty rare to hear about a white man actually doing something as risky as attempting something stupid like a boxing career.

True story they originally considered adding a moat with alligators and shark and an electrified cage for UFC 1. So your crazy RAD idea was not far off, lol.

Fighting is largely the sport of the poor. in general,to be elite you need to start young. not many middle or upper class white americans are going to put their sons in such violent sports. poorer foreigners and minorities will always take these sports over in the long run.

MMA is a sport.

Swimming is a sport.

Competitive video gaming is not a sport.

Of course MMA is a sport but we need to be honest with ourselves and admit that some stuff, when played to a high enough level, turns in to a joke. I haven't watched MMA but I mean boxing of course. Watching the Mayweather-pacquaiao or klitschko-fury fights made me realise that what was once considered the fighting sport is literally just a game of slaps (the game you'd play in school where one guy tries to slap the others hand or make them flinch) but with more running about.
