boxing is more dangerous than MMA oh how could you say that when they jump on you and they hit you on the ground when you fall I will argue with you that that’s safer than you knocking me out bang my body which has been trained my whole life to get up gets up they count to eight or nine and they say go back and fight more when I’m still concussed I get up and then you continue to punch me in the head until one I either fall down again and go to sleep completely or we get to the end of the round where you come back and you punch me in the head again in MMA when you get knocked out or kicked in the head or whatever the case may be the guy jumps on you boom boom fight’s over fight’s over I don’t have that recovery time to where I go fight more and then I get destroyed more I think boxing is a much more brutal Sport and I love boxing than mix martial arts because of that
