>>218185 YES!!!! The only reason I watched boxing is because it was the only 'combat' sport on television, but I thought the clinching was stupid (if this is a gay-sports thread, how can we ignore boxing's hugging your opponent for half the match?).
Then I found Thai-boxing/kick boxing. Knees, roundhouse kicks, it was beautiful, except nobody ever grabbed a leg, the fights always stopped on a knockdown - totally unrealistic as that is where any real conflict begins.
Then I found MMA. And there was much rejoicing.
OF course, MMA has it's fair share of striking, too. Not every match is a cuddle party for 3 rounds (although I will admit it happens frequently enough to be made fun of).
