I prefer MMA over boxing just because of the mental game. In boxing all you do is box. MMA you can come out, box, and it might not be working out. From there you might try to take someone down, or work the clinch. You mentally have to be ready to make those transitions, and to defend them transitions. You can't hesitate for a split second or ou are throwing your self in jeopardy. If someone double leg shoots on you, and you go down, you NEED to be ready to pull gaurd ASAP or better pray you have a damn good scramble.

Something goes bad in boxing... well you hug.

Yeah, but the takedown aspect of MMA leaves the door wide open for wrestlers with no striking ability to take a guy down, lay on him for 3 rounds and walk away with a win. It also opens the door for the always yawn-worthy epic ground battle where round after round one guy takes the other down 10 seconds into the round and they spend the rest of the round setting up and defending one measly submission attempt.

IMO:
Muay Thai > Standup oriented MMA > Boxing > Boring meatbag MMA > K1 Faggot Kickboxing
