1. College Football until Christmas then BCS ruins best game ever.

2. College Basketball because kids play hard and defense throughout season and has a real playoff.

3. Pro Football

Hate Pro basketball since every team makes it to playoffs so regular season is meaningless, guys don't even play hard until end of season just money grabbing, Lawrence Olivia injury acting from the best athletes in the world. Whole game has become a sham at pro levels.

Hockey, Nascar, soccer, golf, and baseball can suck it. I don't want to offend anyone so I'll refrain from talking about them.

Except for the fact the best don't fight the best due to control freaks no better than Don King it's much better than corrupt boxing...but way down on my list because of that. Maybe GSP can fight hughes just one more time:roll:
 
Football, hands down, for me.

Everything else is just lumped together. However, I still probably watch more of most major sport than most people.

2007 was the year of the upset. The "best" get their asses beat all the time. Why are you so bitter? You mad about fedor?

GSP is fighting penn in 2 weeks. Many mma fighters fight 2-5 times per year. How can you compare that to boxing?

Fedor, Gomi, Diaz bros, Arlovski, Barnett, Overreem, Mousasi, Sonnen Yamamoto, and on and on and on.

I'm mad about closed competition and a lousy 2-3 fights a year per fighter. So many match ups that need to take place so much more often. It's not much of a sport to me because of that.

Also, boxers fight way more - coming though ranks, until they make champion - they fight 8-10x a year. Guys like Julio César Chávez have 120+ fights... name one MMA guy with half that.

No MMA guy is going to fight 120 fights, there are so many more injuries in the sport. However the part about guys fighting for the belt real quick is crap. Brock Lesnar is the prime example. Huge fan following right away so he got the belt shot after going 2-1. Granted, there are not many heavyweights, but still.

I'm a huge fan of brock, first real world class athlete at HW in MMA IMO, so speed of belt does not bother me - It's that there are at least 6 contenders outside that can't even fight him for it.:thumbsdown:
 
Fedor, overeem and mousasi need to be in the ufc.
Nate diaz is still in the ufc, nick was cut for some reason.
Barnett will never fight in the ufc again.
Arlovski is former ufc.
Gomi is washed up.
Sean sherk has over 40 pro fights. amature fights are not always recorded either.

And many boxers fight a shit ton of cans. Though that can be said for may fighters in either sport.
