I'm tired of people saying this. I mean, compared to good pro wrestling, every sport is boring. In my opinion, if you feel MMA is boring then you should consider all sports boring. Besides, it seems most people that call it boring never seen enough of it. Seems like they think it's just jabbing on the ground. Maybe people expect guys throwing wild punches like dumb rednecks, or guys doing karate kicks. Watch this and tell me if it's boring. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdJ9xq3t6pU |

mma bores the hell out of me. my uncle (who is also a huge wrestling fan) is a huge mma guy. he's made me watch probably 20+ hours of mma, and none of it really made me enjoy it. i will say that i can appreciate the guys who go in and actually fight, but for every good brawl or kickboxing style fight, there is 100 fights where the guys lay on the mat dry humping for the duration. i just can't get in to it.

I tried to watch MMA, but I can't get into it. All I ever see are two guys rolling around on the ground getting the occassional punch in for 5 minutes, then the fight's over & I don't know who won or why...
You can't compare that to, say, a football match where there's action for a full 70 mins. & a definitive result where I actually KNOW what happened.

yeah, i love (american) football, hockey, baseball (though it can be boring as well). mma is like watching gay porn on cinemax: 2 guys humping alot......but you never see anything of note.

I actually prefer MMA to wrestling now. People act like the pro wrestling is always action packed but for every boring fight in MMA there is one in the WWE. Some stuff I still enjoy in the wrestling but a lot of it I've just grown apathetic to wards.

MMA bores me to bits but I can see why other people would find it exciting. Now & then I'll see a fight I enjoy.

I think MMA is a lot like every other sport, you get a lot of somewhat boring fights/matches/games/whatever, and some that are fantastic and keep your love of that sport alive.
Hell, modern pro wrestling is a lot like that.

MMA is really boring. It's on golf or nascar levels of boring.

MMA is exciting to watch when you know what's happening. I find most professional sports incredibly boring: Football (both kinds), baseball, basketball, etc.... I can not sit still to watch them. MMA is different. Yeah, there are some suck fests (like all of Rashad Evans fights except for maybe 2) but the rest are entertaining, and some are great.

I feel really gay when I watch MMA.. Not that that's bad, but yeah it's hard to explain why you're watching two half-naked guys rolling on the ground with one's legs clasped around the other.

I consider all sports boring for the most part. MMA just stands out more to me because it pits two guys against each other just like in wrestling. The difference being that because pro wrestling is scripted, more interesting things can and do happen.

Nothing left for me to say that hasn't already been said, really. Once in a great while you see a good standup striking MMA fight. The vast majority of the time when I watch the guys spend about thirty seconds upright and then go to snore-inducing ground-and-pound until the bell rings.

While there are the occasional boring MMA fights, I love it. Its a chess match when they're on the ground. If you make one wrong move, the other guy can easily and decisively put you away. And for all those who made comments about it being like gay porn, with two half naked guys rolling around, wrestling is the exact same thing, if not worse. In wrestling, theres some crotch grabbing  |

Takayama was such a credit to pro wrestling in that fight, I've got so much respect for him... And his iron head. |

Oh, the fight with the pro-wrestler. But yeah, MMA and other sports are boring. Pretty much every sport is more fun to do then to watch. |

MMA, like other sports are only boring if you don't know whats going on. If you know how MMA works and it's subtleties then it's not boring.
MMA is not about haymakers and 1st round knockouts.

I don't watch MMA very often at all... but it's far from boring. It usually takes a certain mood for me to really want to watch it, or if I watch it with a group of people... it entertains the hell out of me, but I just don't keep up with it.
