    Toney, Jimmerson & Mayorga tried too.. He's not the first. I think we will see more back & forth traffic...

    Berto is a grappler, his whole family fights in MMA, he's the only boxer.

    And not a day too late. Lots of professional athletes get their start in a new sport in their mid-30s.

    UFC will put him in tough right away so I suspect this is just a money grab using what bit of a name he has from boxing being a former champ and Floyd opponent.

    If he were serious about MMA he would take some fights on local circuits to test the waters, of course like already mentioned time is not on his side but also like pointed out he has a brother who has fought MMA so maybe he has reason to think he might get something accomplished although I doubt it.
