UFC vs. Boxing review is updated Monthly By Joe Harrison
Originally, this was called MMA vs. Boxing review. During early 2009, the change was made to UFC vs. Boxing review because of the fact that UFC is the premiere MMA organization throughout the entire sport, especially in the United States. It is Dana White who feels the need to compete with all organizations, especially the sport of boxing. Therefore, it became necessary to make UFC the primary focus of the sport. Unless Strikeforce becomes just as popular or more popular than the UFC, this column will keep its current title.
