What is the most prestigious title?
An employee of the UFC trying to hype a fight for the UFC?
Who would ever think that would happen
I know he says things for promotional purposes but it's still very annoying when he acts like the straight talking, no bullshit guy.
That whole Ronda Rousey thing was just unforgivable really. We've all said some stupid shit, but to actually start crying while talking about how good a female fighter is, was just ridiculous.
He should also never be allowed to say the word "elite" ever again even if someone's skills are elite. He's like the boy who cried elite too many times.
MMArijuana -The title of Gypsy King is currently the most prestigious of them all!MMArijuana - Which alphabet soup heavyweight title in boxing is the most prestigious?Anyone?
Why the fuck would anyone disagree with this?
If I was getting UFc money I'd say wacky shit all the time too
Yes, Joe got a bit too high and he is slightly retarded. Whatever you do please don't believe his hypocritical, socialist political rants. More than half of what he or his guests say is simply not true.
I think Miocic takes AJ down with the quickness and beats the shit out of him. However it's hard, if not impossible, to argue the UFC title has more prestige than any of the 3 belts Joshua currently holds.

PrettyBoy -Wanderpage -LBJ -LOLShutTheFckUpDonny -You think Joshua would beat Miocic in a fight?
Yes.
What are you laughing at? I remember a two time UFC heavyweight Champ fighting a 50 year old retired HW Boxer and getting KOed in 8 seconds.
Oh yeah I remember that! And I also remember Randy beating the dog shit out of James Tony.
How many UG threads have their been over the years debating this same bullshit :P? Boxers can't beat MMA fighters in a real fight and MMA fighers can't beat Boxers in a boxing match.
Not withstanding a couple exceptions to said rules
PrettyBoy -You understand at least.Wanderpage -LBJ -LOLShutTheFckUpDonny -You think Joshua would beat Miocic in a fight?
Yes.

Boxers have only lost to mma fighters because they didn't trane.
Look at nate diaz. Dropped the GOAT MMA fighter, and can't even hang with Andre ward.
Cody, who never showed anything in boxing, but had a boxing background, destroyed another PFP MMA great.
And both conor and cruz were considered strikers.
Let's not even mention the clinic toney put on couture.

Perception creates prestige, significance, and noteriety. Boxing is ingrained in America's DNA. These things have nothing to do with who would win in a fight. Before the UFC made MMA a sport was the world heavyweight Kickboxing or Muay Thai champ the most prestigious, significiant, title that came with the most noteriety? Bc they would fuck boxers up in a fight ..
Just looking at Rogan's quote in MMA alone, in my opinion the UFC has a history of placing all of these things on their LHW title, which has a history of being their glamour division with drawing power. The the HW title has always struggled for big stars, outside of Couture and Lesnar.
newjack900 -Both Joshua and Klitschko made roughly $13 million for tite fight.. I wonder how much Stipe and JDS will be earning
more than the rest of the fighters on that boxing card combined
if he said the UFC HW champ could kick anyone's ass I might agree. Saying that the title is more prestigious or carries more notoriety is more a statement about how people regard the champ. Curious how many average people even know the UFC has weight classes.
an org that doesn't base fights of merit and earned rights, it bases them on popularity and how loud they can scream.
Joe is crazy. the truth is the UFC title isn't even a 'world' anything. it's an org title. it has ZERO prestige outside of.... the UFC
Interim belts handed out like candy for profit. and get this 'undisputed' shit. undisputed means the title holder of one weight class in the 3 major governing bodies.
There is no such thing as a disputed belt in the UFC, since ufc fighters only fight ufc fighters.
Finally, there's hardly any prestige when you mail out belts to two people that have never even set foot in the octagon.
It barely means anything more than the WWE belt
LBJ -I don't think many MMA fans have cared about the HW title for a long time. Timmy ruined its prestige. I stopped watch the UFC because I could not stand watching him. Worst champ in history.
Why don't you go ahead and shut your whore fucking mouth about the UFC HW GOAT.
It is the mostest prestigiousest championship belt in combat sports because it is won by the baddest, biggest dude who can do it all. Most important there is only one belt not fucking 4. All of you haterade drinking sub 80 IQ beta's can stop whining now. Thread over.

I don't know what the financial situation of the Boxing model has anything to do with this thread, except for making the title even more prestigious and notable, but I would imagine when Conor fought Nate they made more than the rest of the entire card combined no? When Ronda fought Holm in Australia I wonder if she herself made more than the rest of the entire card. Outside of Hunt, all those 20k fighters don't add up to the few million she made.
As we know Boxing's model is much like American capitalism, with the top few getting the biggest cut of the pie.. but the UFC model is slowly heading in that direction with the purses that Conor, Ronda, and Brock have recently received.
but to be honest, 90k people didn't pack Wembley for:
FW Scott Quigg def. Viorel Simion UD
LW Luke Campbell def. Darleys Pérez TKO9
WLW Katie Taylor def. Nina Meinke TKO7
SFW Joe Cordina def. Sergej Vib TKO
It was actually a really good undercard and boxing is getting better at this.. but I would be interested in seeing how much Quigg and Simion made since it was a title eliminator. I wouldn't be surprised if they made very good $

You haven't watched "UFC" since Timmy was the HW champion? Makes sense. I can't stand the New England Patriots, I'm thinking I'll just stop watching the NFL.
