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).

Where are the best places to start MMA or ufc training in Edmonton Alberta?
The best place for bjj and mma in Edmonton is Arashido on Stalbert trail right by nelsons lumber they have an Awsome bjj instructor and great mma training I have trained there and it's my favorite. There is also cardinals gym which I heard is very good and alot of good pro fighters train there. Then there is Hyabusa in Stalbert which is probably the best bang for your buck as it is alot cheaper and they train alot of great pro fighters who you can also train with but if u don't mind paying 145 a month I'd recommend Arashido cause no matter where the fighters train I see most of them at Arashido sharpening there skills in bjj with master mike and even they say he is the best in the city
Who has the most wins in mixed martial arts history?
Two of the fighters with the highest fight totals are Dan Severn(109) and Travis Fulton (245). But since MMA was underground for a while it is hard to determine many older fighters actual fight totals. A website to check on most records is called www.sherdog.com. They have a fighter finder that is hands down the best in the world for mma fighters.
Where is mma the most popular?
When it comes to MMA, America is the leading nation. The well-known organization UFC is also from the United States. Also, America is filled with so many training centers for MMA training so it is pretty obvious that the craze of MMA is at its peak in the US.
Is MMA safer than boxing?
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.
