It doesn’t matter what the rules of combat are. To the casual eye it’s two guys fighting. It can be mma rules, kick boxing or boxing. Ufc fighters get no forgiveness for losing boxing matches. The “but if it was mma” excuse holds no merit.
No, that’s retarded . Maybe you’re in your early 20’s or haven’t hit a big milestone yet, but the only people that think like that are immature, fair weather morons. Anderson Silva is undoubtedly an MMA goat and was blessed to make millions in a fight he was absolutely suppose to lose lol. Or maybe you’ve never competed. There’s flaw/lack of experience/immaturity in your logic. Pace yourself
Agreed
You don’t get to come up with excuses after the fact. Hockey players play international tournaments like the olympics with a slightly different set of rules. Fighters should be able to handle themselves when they change the rule sets. Or maybe ufc fighters can only fight inside the ufc rules inside a cage.
I’m not making excuses lol. You’ll see. Be safe out there.
These threads are funny, considering the majority of people who bought and watched Jake vs Anderson, Jake vs Woodley, Jake vs Askren, etc., are MMA fans, first and foremost. They love Anderson no matter what, and aren’t fooled into thinking a 25 year old beating a 47 year old in a boxing match means much more than that.
I don’t buy PPV’s. I support individual gyms/fighters.
It’s funny how before the Askren fight MMA fans were offended and disgusted at the thought of anyone implying Jake could beat their UFC heroes in a boxing match.
They acted like I was committing blasphemy when I said Jake could KO UFC fighters in boxing
Now they say it doesn’t matter because it’s a different sport
Gonna be funny to see the cope you guys come up with when he starts beating your heroes under MMA rules
has he let u suck his dick yet ?
Amen, it insinuates Paul gonna fight Rich Franklin or some other great from 15 years ago AND WIN under MMA rules. He sure as shit isn’t going to fight anyone that’s been ranked or held a belt in the past 3 or 4 years, just like he’s doing in boxing.
Trevor Berbick beat Ali. No one cares.
Jake Paul smoked Anderson Silva. Don’t even put him in the same sentence as rich Franklin
Trevor berbick isn’t a teen Disney star
Oh snap! I have lost my mind. How did I not include that?!? I shall desist
i do agree it tarnsihed Silvas career
I don’t believe that.
I look at the Jake Paul fight like a money grab from an over the hill MMA fighter, in a sport that wasn’t his forte.
Your understanding of analogies is apparently on a 2nd grade level.
Your boy says Paul will be murking MMA fan favorites once he steps in the cage. The only way he could do this is against a Rich Franklin, who is an older fan favorite. This is the technique he’s using to win his boxing matches. I apologize your extra chromosome made my good analogy difficult to comprehend.
Paul won’t be beating any MMA fan favorites from the past 3 or 4 years, let’s stay grounded in reality
