      Jordan Carty Agreed, when anyone says that they haven't really watched MMA or know much about it I'm just thinking to myself how I'm the world have you not watched the most exciting form of combat sports? It's just soooooo much better than boxing. So many great moments. Smh and did he say eye pokes as if that's allowed? :(

    Jim Gray is one of sports broadcasting Goats. NFL, boxing, NBA, Olympics. Funniest moment is when James Toney wanted to kick his ass after he fought Holyfield and smashed the mic out of his hand during the post fight.

    Damn give the old guy a break lads he clearly is from a different generation and has been set in his ways with the sports that he loves and he genuinely doesn't watch or know much about MMA but he was trying to be very courteous and respectful to the sport, the fighters and the fans to the best of his knowledge.

    I would expect a professional of Mr.Gray's stature to have educated himself on the MMA. For someone to speak like this that is working the event says a lot about where he is in his career. Guys like him grow complacent and don't do their homework and it shows.

    i dont think it kills boxing. conor is just one of kind like. noone else in MMA could do it. and another thing, if conor does happen to win i hope he doesnt think he can handle canelo or GGG lol floyd, an older smaller defensive fighter with little power is one thing regardless of him being undefeated. but idk about conor handling a top leveled knock out artist boxer lol

    As corny as it sounds, "The MMA" actually sounds correct when said without abbreviation. They are _The_ Mixed Martial Arts just like Meryl Streep tried saying "Mixed Martial Arts is not _The_ Arts." However, it's always people that know nothing about the sport that call it that.

  • @ropeswingify
    @ropeswingify Před 6 lety +9

    iv always thought Ariel has taken a major page from this guy's book as far as being a passive aggressive, disingenuous, unlikeable deuche bag. look how Ariel is glowing.. I knew it.. I knew this guy was probably one of his hero's.. kind of sickening to see someone so enamored by a guy who's made a career being an soulless provocateur. I think Gray thought he was taking a page from Cosell.. but to me he totally missed the mark.. Howard was in a league Gray never came close to.. Howard HAD soul.. he "felt" the emotions from his difficult questions.. this guy was a reptile who never conveyed any humanity in his interviews.. just a cold provocateur.

    • @vernlaw
      @vernlaw Před 6 lety +1

      comptone I agree with your take on Gray, but Ariel is different. Yes he provokes drama, but he's always been respectful to the fighters...in a lot of ways he goes to bat for the fighters..that's the main reason he gets so many great interviews with them...sometimes he pushes to far but that comes with the job.

    "It might bring MMA up to a higher level." Hah there is no other boxer that could bring Floyd a 100 million dollar payday. Let alone a Billion dollar fight. Lets be honest. Floyd is bringing in about 15-20 percent of the buyers. This is actually the opposite of how things work in MMA. In MMA, whoever brings in the most PPV Buys gets the most money. Its the opposite here. Floyd is so lucky.

      Turned down someone who was just making weight at the weight class above, who would have had to lose another 10lbs? He would have either missed weight or made weight but too weak to put on a good performance. Right decision by DJ. TJ would not have had another fight at that weight.

  • @RAZORREVOLUTION1
    @RAZORREVOLUTION1 Před 6 lety

    MMA is going to suffer at the hands of Connor McGregor if he loses. These boxing aficionados seem convinced, or at least want to portray, that McGregor is the best that MMA has to offer. He's not! McGregor is a fighter, like many others, who climbed their way to a #1 contender spot, and happened to beat the champion, like many others. However, McGregor, unlike many others, failed to defend his belt once! That neglectful course of action, seemingly, was the right course of action to get him an instant title shot at another belt, even though relinquishing the first belt was all he did.
    So, in summary, McGregor was fast-tracked to a second belt not because his skills were so phenomenal, but because of his ability to generate interest in his fights, and so generate money for the UFC. McGregor has talked himself into a fight with the greatest boxer of all time because it will generate even more revenue for the giant coporations, not because he deserves to be there.
    McGregor is nothing but an act. There's better fighters in the UFC than him. Far better! He's the best at getting people to watch, but he's not the best fighter, not even close.
