CrossFit or MMA, what’s your take on one or the other or both!

Judging by the performance Colin McGreggor put on against Mayweather, I’d say that MMA fighters could probably stand to do some more Crossfit style conditioning3

MMA - I do that. Not actual fighting but I workout with trainer who does. We do a lot of hitting and kicking into bags. Best workouts ever.1

That's a weird question. Those are completely different things. Might as well have asked "cycling or bungee Jumping?"
Do which you enjoy more.3 -
CrossFit wins out on almost everything almost every time for me. I love the mix of weights, cardio, gymnastics.0
-
If you like hitting things, MMA will be a much more fun workout.2

So you're saying that Crossfit would have made Conor more competitive in the fight against Mayweather, do I have that right?
And side note, how drunk were you when you made this post?7 -

It was just a stupid joke about Conor looking like he’d just run a marathon 3 rounds into the fight.
The only thing that could have actually helped him would have been 5 or 10 years as a professional boxer before stepping in the ring. Amateurs rarely fair well against professionals, he put up a respectable fight all things considered.1 -

Ok ok that is totally fair
He certainly has that dip in fights. He will figure it out.
I hope he continues professional boxing. He has more talent than he knows what to do with, and he could be really great one day. I'd definitely be interested in seeing him in future fights.0 -
I hope he sticks to MMA I’m a huge fan of the sport and in my opinion boxing is less entertaining and less exciting. I’m sure I’ll be persecuted for that opinion but I’ll stick by it. Just feels like more talent is involved in the sport itself.3

Do the workouts have to be mutually exclusive? Do some of each if you enjoy both.0
-
MMA-is a combat sport
Crossfit-is a religious cult
Since I'm never going to get in a ring, and I already go to church, I do other things, AMOK combatives and Kettlebell/bodyweight training.2 -
Both are diverse enough that you'd get a great workout combining the two.0

OP: if you live in an area that features ClassPass, I would suggest checking that out.
ClassPass lets you buy classes at boutique fitness clubs - Barre, yoga, Crossfit, MMA studios, boxing, Spin studios, etc., without having to pay for expensive membership fees to belong to any specific one.
A quick search in my Boston neighborhood of Southie showed:
- Boxing Gym
- MMA Studio
- 2 Yoga Studios
- 2 Barre Studios
- 1 Spin Studio
- My CrossFit Box (Bootcamp only)
- 2 Misc Fitness (BodyPump, etc)
- 1 Karate Dojo
- 1 Rock Climbing Gym
You pay by the class, so you could buy a pack of classes, check out a bunch of places, and see what you loved!0 -

second recommendation for ClassPass. I use it when I travel for work.0 -
MMA is more useful in life.
