whats everyones take on this matchup? These two are scheduled to fight in March of 2010 for the one and only Ricardo Mayorga's MMA debut. He reportedly has been training at AKA for a while so lets hope he's been taking this serious & make a fight out of it! I used to always pull against mayorga in boxing but in mma I think Imma support him! Mayorga is f'n crazy! :smoke:smoke:smoke:smoke:smoke:smoke:smoke:smoke
not sure - here's one of the articles It doesnt have a weight Does anybody know????? http://www.mmamania.com/2009/12/16/1203429/din-thomas-vs-ricardo-mayorga-set Former UFC lightweight Din Thomas will welcome former boxing champion Ricardo Mayorga to the world of mixed martial arts when the two clash at the upcoming third event from the Shine Fights promotion, which is expected to go down in March 2010 at a venue to be named. MMAmania.com confirmed the match-up earlier today. "Dinyero" was a top contender in the stacked UFC 155-pound division prior to back-to-back losses to Kenny Florian (because he blew out his knee during the fight) and Josh Neer. Following that, Thomas announced his desire to compete at 145 pounds. He never got the chance. Thomas was given his pink slip in May 2008 along with Travis Lutter, David Heath, Kalib Starnes, Joe Doerksen and John Halverson. Since then, he scored a submission win (triangle choke) over Dustin Pierkin at Headhunter Productions "The Patriot Act" back in February followed by a TKO victory (knee) over Gabe Lemley at "March Badness" just over a month later. Affliction MMA quickly scooped him up for their August "Trilogy" event, but we all know how that turned out. Still, the 32-fight veteran can get back into the headlines with a big win over the boxing bad boy. In addition to his run as WBA/WBC welterweight champion and WBC junior middleweight champion, the 28-7-1 pugilist was equally famous for his colorful personality. We know he can punch -- and take a punch -- but will he have anything to offer Thomas on the ground? You can bet the Nicaraguan has no intentions of letting it get there. Stay tuned to MMAmania.com for more updates to the still-developing Shine III fight card, which is expected to feature main card bouts pitting Hector Lombard versus Alexandre "Cacareco" Ferreira and Luiz Azeredo against Luiz "Buscape" Firmino.
Mayorga is a straight up nut..For some reason i doubt he would have much Cash left and being the fighter he is will except any pay packet to get in a cage/ring etc.
Din Thomas can fight too! It's almost as if they are throwing him to the wolves in his debut. But Mayorga is crazy and dumb enough not to be scared or respect din thomas so this one should be entertaining regardless of the result!
el matador ko 1. no really though din will probably take him down and sub him asap, but if he stands with mayorga hes a goner.
Bologna. Bite your tongue (eh, finger). The man's propensity for haymakers belies some fundamental punching prowess. See Forrest I. Or hell, many moments outboxing both Fernando and, yes, at times Shane. He knows how to (and, demonstrably, physically can) throw every punch in the book properly. He just doesn't always. :yep
Din Thomas is a stud. If Mayorga is stupid enough Din wins this by whichever way he wants. I dont even give Mayorga a striking chance.
This is going to be a LONG ((Err Short night)) for Mayo. Din is no push over and a very good fighter. Will be shocked if Din dosn't make Mayo Tap.
mayorga is ****ed i reckon, guy has zero discpiline lets hope he gives up the ***s and booze at least 2 weeks before fight night
I have serious doubts that this fight will ever take place. Who is paying Mayorga for this? His MMA pay would have to be chicken feed compared to what he can earn fighting a nobody in boxing.
