Why do all of you believe that ufc and the rest of mma is real?

Question

when 213 of the most brutal and effective moves (which are not from karate, bbj, or tkd ) are illegal in mma and ufc. in addition to the weight classes and the fact that the fighters know in advance who they are going to fighting. fact is that when you have a referee and all best most dangerous moves are illegal, it aint real! if you don't like it, learn to love it, cause you're gonna have to live with it! truth is forever and so is death. woooooo!!! take it to the streets and cry about it. tell your wives and girlfriends i said hello. woooooo!!!

Answer 1

well, the matter of fact is, all those "deadliest and effective" move will probably end up killing the other contender. And they know who the other fighter is because the mma and the ufc advertise there fights. They can put

The iceman chuck lidell vrs rampage Quintin Jackson

and make money off the advertisement

Answer 2

It's a freaken sport!

It's not a fight to the death.

Our objective is not to kill our opponent

its to win with pride and humane moves.

Ever heard of boxing?????

Answer 3

What was rthe question?

Answer 4

It's because it is real. It's about having bouts in a cage/ring. It's not for the streets. It's like boxing and other sports. You know who you're going to be facing so that  you prepare for that particular opponent.

Answer 5

You make some solid points, MMA is a sport, and at the end of the day it must have rules, however I would not call it strictly "fake" it is a far from such mockeries as Pro wrestling.

Answer 6

Why do I believe that the UFC and other MMA is real?!  Because I know people that are in it hahahahahaa.  Very dumb question.  This is no where near the WWE or WWF or whatever the h**l its called.  Everyone knows thats all choreographed, but MMA is not.  Its like boxing, they truly fight until one wins.

Answer 7

I understand your postion as i have been approached before many times in a similar manner.

First off,

Its a sport. I dont need to extrapulate on it even though it is (i personnally think so) a cop out to a degree.

Secondly, lets examine the criterion involved in what what defines mma as real.

It seems that rules, weight classes, referees, knowledge of contenders, and the limitation of moves is your platform of deciding that mma is not "real". I argue...fair enough.

Your right....to a much larger degree than most people are comfortable to listen to. However, I believe you should put more stock in mma because to the "greater extent" it is real.

I argue that the reason why it is now the most popular combat sport in the world is simply because it the only true sport that can replicate something true in real life combat. I mean to say. That there is an element in what you would no doubt deem "real" combat that exists in mma. That element would be control. MMA's appeal is that it exemplifies the pinnacle of the understanding of martial arts- that is to adapt to the one being fought immediatly and control him accordingly.

People love to watch individual like fedor because within a limited rule set...he can adapt to the other fighter and crush him. It would probably be more interesting if they adapted the 213 moves you speak of...but then again the risk of death is ridiculous....and immoral on terms of neccesity.

Ultimately what Im trying to convey is this. That MMA is very real because it embodies a key aspect of martial arts- the ability to adapt. And even with the rules, the referees, and whatnot...they have a whole arsenal to draw from..an effective arsenal at that...its almost instictive to some fighters. The combat you long for can sadly only be truly manifested on the battlefield. On both the physical and even phycological levels. So mma is real...its not supposed to be war.

I hope this helps and apolgize to any who feel it sounds like a sack of bull s**+'t. Thank you .

Do any of your 213 moves involve a high powered riffle and waiting for your opponent to step outside their house to get the morning paper? That's deadly! But, I bet none of your fighting styles would allow that in a fight would it?! It's a sport!!! You can't kill people in a sport!!!  Because there are rules protecting people from death that doesn't make it fake! MMA is no less a fight than any other combat SPORT.

What if I challenged you to a fight and you agreed to meet me after your sewing circle ended? Would it no longer be a real fight because you knew that you were going to get your head smashed in? Or would all your blood and bruises just be the aftermath of an orchestrated show. You're a top notch dope!

Answer 9

Well is boxing real idiot. Its a sport why doesn't Fedor beat your *** until you think its real. At least it isn't staged like wrestling with the winners decided. Is football real I mean there are so many ways to take a man down you can grab his face mask  or horse collar him oh wait that puts the players health in jeopardy. The rules in MMA are in place not to let death or something serious like paralysis from happening. I am curious as to what sport you like?
