    They would just take him to the ground, over for him after that.

    I don't think they would be able to take a macca haymaker with mitts mate.

    On the ground though yeah he's finished.

    Iv never understood why people need to bash MMA? Both sports are great.

    Boxing is the art of punching...

    MMA uses all aspects of fighting.

    Dont bash what you dont understand.

    At least in UFC all you need to do is win 2 out of 3 fight and you get a title shot ala Brock Lesnar, I would actually pay to watch Enzo v Lesnar I think Enzo would do ok at UFC but like many of you have pointed out, if he gets taken to the ground he would be in deep ****.

    David Haye has also talked of going into MMA. How funny would it be if Enzo got knocked out by the same guy in two different sports?

    Enzo trains down the dojo gym ..........grappling in MMA type training between fights.

    Time / Envy nightclub Swansea.........recently converted into Ocenia Nightclub............stages MMA shows.........and apparantly Big Mac is always down there.

    The Dojo gym is not far from where Enzo lives............Gary Lockett has trained there also.

    The guy who runs the gym is apparantly a bit of a joke...........he makes up belts and calls himself a super champion or whatever.

    However I would not mess with him.............I was down the Cafe a couple of years back near the Dojo and that guy walked in the Cafe...........and he came up to my table and asked to borrow the Tomatoe Sauce !!!!!!!!!!

    There were posters of him up on the wall of the Cafe also..........showing him in his belts advetising the Dojo Gym.

    I would say Enzo is well into MMA and does presentations in the ring to certain cage fight guys he knows after fights.

    How accomplished he is in this skill I dont know............but I know he does alot of grappling training in between fights that helps with his strengths.

    I'm not into MMA however if BIG MACC did step into the Octagon I would be watching just out of pure curosity to see how he fares in that.

    I really like MMA and those guys are tough but Enzo is a top 10 cruiserweight and that will count for alot. The real top guys in the sport would beat him but I would be prepered to put him in with any domestic fighter right now and after two years full on mma training he could be very good.

    Enzo's achieved **** all in the sport boxing, so I have no real idea how he might fare in a different sport.

    I lost a bit of respect for Enzo as I did with David Hay when I heard that they were keen on MMA Fights. Its just not right for a Boxer to do that in my opinion.

    Anyone can climb in the cage and fight. But it takes someone Special to climb into the Ring and Box.

    He didn't fight for the WBA and WBC titles, he got battered for the WBA and WBC titles. But you're right, apart from that he is an extremely accomplished fighter and therefore needs new challenges.

    Enzo now doubts that he will be a success as a boxer, so he is looking for an alternative sport to go into in case he loses his earning power in boxing.


    He should keep such plans quiet, because it makes him look like an even bigger mug, than he already does, which is hard...
