Joe Rogan UFC vs Boxing

timid fighting championship started in 1993 put together to find which style of fighting would win in an actual about the legendary Gracie clan with Brazilian jiu-jitsu got the better of karate boxing wrestling and kickboxing it's become so popular now it offers 12 to 14 live pay-per-view events annually and you might be thinking how does it compare to boxing well you can strike with your legs you can wrestle as well in UFC push it can't boxing it's not a tough man competition it's not no-holds-barred either no strikes to the groin no gouging it has sought out state regulation not run from it they fight five rounds as opposed to 12 but frequently it does end via KO or tap out alright let's talk about this let's welcome in right now boxing promoter Luda Bella and UFC commentator and all-around personality Joe Rogan Joe let me start with you will mixed martial arts peak and fall like kickboxing or will it become a permanent part of the sports culture well I'd certainly think it's a permanent part of the sports culture it's a much more exciting sport than any of the other combat sports that are out there right now and that's why it's here and that's why it's the fastest growing sport in the world Lou what do you think of UFC I'm not a big fan but I tend to agree with Joe that it seems to have a fan base it's one company dominating an entire industry my guess is that as long as I can continue to get young white guys to watch they're gonna they're gonna be there for a long time do you think it stays around does it cuz it's compete with boxing or overtake boxing Lou it's got nothing to do with boxing the same way wrestling has nothing to do with boxing it's a different form of entertainment it's in a cage wrestling is fake I mean this is this is actual combat competition Lou that's very different from WWE yeah yeah but it's you know it's sort of like human cockfighting in my view or pit bull fighting guys are elbowing each other to the heads guys are kneeing each other they get at the leg locks and start rolling around on the ground in submission holes Joe you can't respond to that how is that human how is that human cockfighting you know what that is that's actual fighting you know what boxing is we're boxing is a very limited form of fighting it's kind of a silly agreement say like we hate each other we're gonna fight we're gonna Duke it out man-to-man but we're only gonna use our hands that's it what Ultimate Fighting is it's the actual sport of fighting this is all aspects of fighting ground game kicking punching elbows submissions all the above that's why it's much more exciting that's why it's a much more dynamic sport but boxing perspective mixed martial arts if we ever advertise boxing matches on ESPN or HB or anyplace else with blood splats like you do on your spike TV show the State Athletic Commission to jump all over us it's a different form of entertainment I have nothing to do with how they advertise it I don't agree that blood is a very important part of the sport and I actually don't agree that elbows are very important part of the sport you know I think there's some aspects of the sport that could be changed or moved around but the most important thing is that it's the sport of fighting and what boxing is is sport of punching that's all it is and there's so many aspects of boxing that are really ineffective that don't really work in a real fight all the bobbing and weaving and shoulder rolling all the beautiful moves that Pernell Whitaker and James Toney and some of those who I'm a boxing fan I love there's some some great yes how do you say I'm not a boxing fan because you don't get it at the science it's a defense this is important is offense you guys like you Pernell Whitaker or Floyd Mayweather oh you're wrong I just said Pernell Whitaker you don't know me and you don't know what I'm a fan of I am a fan of boxing it's a beautiful sport but it's a sport that encompasses one aspect of fighting what Ultimate Fighting is is a sport of fighting what you guys don't understand you guys are a dying breed you boxing guys are humans cockfighting what you don't understand is your sport is getting swallowed it's getting more spectacular sport that you have right now are the only famous people that are gonna exist in the future for boxing the Oscar De La Hoya's the Bernard Hopkins and Jermaine Taylor's the guys they were already famous before UFC came along there will be no new ones hey Luke and boxing respond to a sport that has cohesive marketing again you're gonna represent your fighters but not the sport as a whole so can boxing match that it's very difficult when you have one company dominating the whole world most of the product other than UFC is complete garbage UFC is welp that's not true at all si is excellent fights oh it has excellent fight put on great fights I don't know anything dude I lease my car I don't even own my house I got a mortgage you telling me you telling me that I'm not a boxing fan your dude you're a guy who's taking this all very personal because you realize your sport is getting Willie Papp meanwhile I have a collection of DVDs of old fights I've got all sorts of old fights on DVD that I watch I love boxing I am a boxing fan of the salient pointer and that boxing has kind of done it to itself but recently the first guys want you to respond to this I spoke to both top fighters in each sport very recently pretty boy floyd mayweather the welterweight champion of the world and Chuck Liddell they both had quite a bit to say about the other sport I mean I feel the guy that's in the UFC couldn't make it in box and so they chose the UFC I mean they fight for like what 12 minutes tattooed ahead put a couple of pieces in a lip in a in a in a ear whatever and go out there and fight for to a street fight for 12 minutes he couldn't cut it in our sport I mean he was I got I got a hundred thirty-five powder of those with me that would drop him on his head he would make out a first round you know so he's 150 pounds it's taking him down would be easy I mean it's not it would be it wouldn't be wouldn't be a wouldn't be a fight Lou let's start with you respond to both guys there they may both be right I said from the beginning it's apples and oranges they may both be right I don't think Floyd to do very well in a street fight in a cage and I don't think that if it's you for the following boxing rules these guys that are experts in various forms of fighting are gonna be able to walk in there and deal with the science of a Floyd Mayweather so I tend to think that probably both right Joe well full of Mayweather saying that these guys couldn't make it in boxing a mutt much of them started out with wrestling or grappling backgrounds a lot of guys started out with judo backgrounds or wrestling backgrounds and mixed martial arts or the Ultimate Fighting Championship is the first avenue that they have for you know to compete as a professional athlete in their sport I mean they have these guys we have in the UFC that have fought in the Olympics we have guys that or the wrestled in the Olympics that didn't have Avenue for professional competition before the UFC you know I think boxing is a great sport but it is that it is a sport and it is a limited sport in fact that it is one aspect of fighting it is one aspect of mixed martial arts I would just say with hands I think guys using their hands because it is limited it is to me more aesthetically pleasing at the same time I think you have to give respect to the guys in jiu-jitsu and and everything else Luda Ballard Joe Rogan is it's not aesthetically pleasing to me I think that jiu-jitsu is very aesthetically I think understated quick submissions is not as fun as guys who will have to open up their hands and you have a completely disagree beautiful rear naked choke thank you so much for my most exciting learned about the big kiss take care Joe let's go through some history
