I saw this guy once kick the other guy in the shin...the guy that did the kicking had his shin bone snap completely in half...his leg just flopped back and forth. I don't think I can watch UF events anymore since then.

It is very rare that something like that happens...just as rare as you'll see a boxer chewing off the ear of another boxer...

Excerpt from Dan Wetzel article:

LAS VEGAS – Everyone wants Saturday's Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Oscar De La Hoya fight to save boxing.

This could only happen if the excitement and publicity of the fight somehow convinces the most athletic 10- to 12-year olds in North America to give up on basketball, football and baseball and go find the local gym.

Boxing's problems are even greater than just thieving promoters, chaotic sanctioning bodies and long-term health problems – a triumvirate of trouble, no doubt. But it starts with the fact the best American athletes no longer want any part of this sport.

There is no great heavyweight champion anymore, everyone agrees. And that's mainly because someone like Dwyane Wade – all 6-4, 216 pounds of his athletic self – is playing basketball, where he is earning huge money without getting whacked in the head and then stolen from.

Mayweather claims as long as America has ghettos, it will have boxers, but that's not necessarily true. The sport of choice in those neighborhoods is no longer boxing. And why would it be?
