Probably because just now it comes across as more of a tin pot white collar fighting event rather than an athletic pursuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 That won't happen because MMA will always be seen as a jack of all trades sport. And I'm still interested to know how the gulf in quality will decrease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd expect youngsters of the future to put more effort in as cash increases rather blowing out their arse after 10 minutes like those in MMA at the moment.

But the training they do works for MMA. So I'm not sure why they'd change. That's what they train for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 There's a definite difference in the conditioning between boxers & MMA. Due to the close contact elements of MMA, it's far more strength orientated than boxing, which requires a large cardio/aerobic capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
