Shannon Briggs to Fight in MMA

MMA seems like a career after retirement from your real athletic career.

 

Isn't he gonna fight january 8th on ESPN?

Boxing?

 

Man, the dude must be in desperate need for money.

 

He can't even breath, & he's gonna try MMA.
:-(

I heard Herschel Walker is having his MMA debut also. That guy is a phenominal athlete, 2,000 push ups a day kinda guy. It will be interesting to see what he can do.

 

This has been a trend. Even an old fat Briggs could probably be champion in that MMA. He's got a punchers chance vs glass jaws. Mercer was able to beat that UFC champion in 10 seconds.

 

Briggs is way overmuscled and with poor stamina. However, he is one of the few boxers to use his footwork to be wary of kicks thus allowing him to get the ko. Grappling is a whole other ball game and I'm not sure if he knows any.

 

i tell you what though... briggs in 4oz gloves could mean someone is gonna get hurt.

 

Briggs has alot of power. If Mercer could slip in that kayo on Sylvia, Briggs in itty bitty 4 ounce gloves would cause alot of damage. BTW, didnt Briggs have a bout or two in K-1 and didnt do too bad?

 

Usain Bolt is fighting in MMA next year aswell...

 

Hardly.

 

He fought Tom Erikson and put him down hard in the first round. That is the fight I was alluding to when I said he actually used his footwork to go in and out to avoid kicks.

Briggs could do well but unfortunately, like every other boxer, it's cos they are pretty much finished in boxing that they are going into MMA.

The only boxer who has ever caught my imagination is Jeremy Williams. I REALLY wanted to see how far he could go.
