Best Answer

Both sports are generally safe, if you follow proper safety requirements. However, more injuries are developed by free-fist fighting rather than gloved fighting. So in essence, UFC is a little more dangerous. Though Boxing is known to have more aggresive fighters, UFC has had more serious injuries.

In a single boxing battle, a boxer might take hundreds of strikes to the head. Because of the variety of blows in the sport, hits to the head are substantially less common in MMA. In addition, an MMA fighter has a larger area to attack their opponent, as opposed to most hits going to the head. Knockout rates in MMA tournaments are lower than in boxing, implying a decreased risk of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in MMA competitions when compared to other activities involving hitting.

Why do MMA fighters have so many defeats?

This is not an MMA vs Boxing post, its simply my honest opinion. Elite MMA fighters do compile the tremendous records that elite boxers do for several reasons. 1.The versatility of the sport is much greater. In boxing the winner is usually (duh) the better boxer. In MMA the winner could be the better boxer, wrestler, kickboxer, bjj player, etc depending on where the fight winds up. More overall surprises. 2.Its a newer sport and a smaller community. MMA fighters encounter each other and fighters they have each fought more often than boxers. 3. Less record protecting. You don't see top guys in mma getting as many fights with nobodies as boxers (not saying that it doesn't ever happen).

Is mix martial art better than boxing?

Better for what? Street fighting? Cage Matches? If you want to box, boxing is best. If you wish to participate in MMA fighting, that would certainly be the training to go for. If you are looking for the best self defense, I would say MMA, but note that training MMA with the rigid rules might not be as effective as the study of a non-competitive martial art.

MMA vs boxing?

MMA all day dude. Boxing is just strikes and dodges and MMA is everything. For example; ju jitsu, MMA (ground), wrestling, muay thai etc. With that being said, I think MMA beats boxing any day, but that is just me. I'm not saying a boxer can't win, but if the fight is on the ground, then most likely its lights out for that boxer.
