    I read a Vic Darchinyan quote in a newspaper this morning where he says he will definitely have an MMA fight in 2012. Vic has all the weapons including a wrestling background to make a success of MMA :good

    If he retires from boxing it will probably do him good to put a few Kay Gee's on to fight MMA anyway

    His Glass Jaw will be brutally shattered. He's a far superior stand-up fighter to the MMA guys but his Chin is abysmal, he'll wind up on his back, and a few flurries have GnP will have him doing the curly toes convulsions.:lol::rofl:patsch

    I'm no Vic nuthugger but he's only been glass jawed once against a top 5 P4P in Donaire to be honest

    Being k.o'ed by donaire (1 of the biggest punchers p4p in boxing) does not make him a glass jawed fraud! If you've seen him fight you would know his chin isn't bad!

    Yea his chin is solid. Yea he might go down, but expect him to get up and go HARD for 12 rounds.

    If he genuinely embraces his wrestling background, coupled with his ko power then it could be exciting.

    I usually agree with your judgement on glass jawed fighters, even though I think you go over the top with it, but you're dead wrong here. He got starched by a guy with top 5 pound for pound skills, great power and who looked 2 weight classes bigger on the night. That doesn't mean Vic has a **** chin.

    Not agree with you at all about his chin, the man got caught with perfect shot to the button
    I can see him doing quite well in MMA actualy
    Good luck to him if he decides to do it

    I know his Dad was an Olympic wrestling trainer but how much experience does Vic has and how often has he sharpened the tools as of late?

    Also needs sub' defence. If he came in at his natural weight he'd be a Featherweight (boxing) so even if the UFC introduced Flyweight he'd be undersized z

    Vic Vs Dodson for the UFC Flyweight Championship? ;-)

    His dad was an Olympic wrestling coach for Armenia so he has the right wrestling base.

    Would be interesting to see Cintron make the switch too. Apparently he was a wrestling stud in college.
