Actually I did train BJJ for over a year, it is also a great sport. My comment was more towards MMA as a sport. Most young people gravitated towards MMA standup because it's more flashy, with the mix of Muay Thai and all, KO kicks to the head, major blood, gore, less finesse, just straight...

I had two years of pretty serious training. Second year did seven amateur fights, finished third at the bronze gloves. Then I got into tree work and boxing took a back seat... :) Still love the sport, even if im 30 lbs overweight!

I LOVE watching great defensive fighters: Roy Jones, Pernell Whitacker, Floyd. We are very lucky in Montreal, we have the best boxing scene in North America, outside of Vegas. Lots of good local and international fights going on in the past years.
