    This pay-per-view event will be announced next week.

    No confirmation if it's going to be contested under boxing or MMA rules, but assuming it's boxing as I believe it will be, who takes it?

    RJJ is a shadow of his former self and very shop-worn, but will his experience be enough to beat an opponent who is primarily a kick boxer?

    I appreciate that there are some people here that get very upset at the mere mention of MMA, and are very protective of the sweet science, so to those people, feel free to not comment!

    Anyway as a curiosity, I'm looking forward to this.

    MMA is for butt sniffers. Roy has very low standards these days but I can't see him being into the bum.

    A 70 year old Roy Jones batters any MMA fighter in a boxing ring. That low rent BA Baracus lookalike he is fighting is in for a lot of pain.

    Such a shame a legend continues to tarnish his legacy. In 50 years time they will be pissing their pants at him. What's next fighting bears at the circus?

    I pray for Roy Jones that he finds something to fill the void in his life other than fighting, because he is putting himself in danger and hurting his legacy.
