was a fan of boxing, but unfortunately, it has turned into a joke with the loss of a lot of the top names. the heavyweight division is pretty lean as well. i dont watch much boxing nowadays, unless oscar or mosley are fighting.
valuev is huge, but his skills fall short of his physical attributes unfortunately.
as far as mma goes, i train bjj, and our instructor is mark hunts grappling coach. so i am a fan off the sport. i would say that pride is easily the better organisation than the ufc. the ufc unfortunately has a lot of uneducated redneck fans that have been converted by what is telecast on spike tv. it seems like that the majority of the fans have come from a toughman/ streetfighting background.
and as disco j has clearly shown with his response, the lack of appreciation for the skills of submissions and jiu jitsu, and his love of the mauling pounding style of mma goes a long way to explaining why the ufc is the lesser organisation.
dont get me wrong, i watch the ufc, but u have a look on the fight card, and its a who's who of bush league fighters. with maybe 1 or 2 name fighters.

Yea, too bad Tito almost opened Ken up and spilled all those guts. Seriously though, Ken did have balls, and should probably retire before he does get himself hurt.

I highly suggest staying with it, when I started, I wasn't too excited about it, but as time went on, I noticed my technique and ground movement beginning to become smoother, that's where it gets fun.
