    Haye has mentioned in some interviews that he has trained MMA.

    Enzo Maccarinelli has competed in a few BJJ tournaments, wonder who would win a grappling match between him and Haye?

    Just small ones, somebody mentioned the Bristol Open, and I assume at a low level.

    Search Enzo Maccahardtospell BJJ Bristol open in google, several threads from people from an academy in Wales that say he was at the 2008 Bristol Open as a white belt.

    http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source...uWMJe8sc4CAAAAqgQFT9C50LA&fp=59fd7dca25999d4c

    I never said he was good, to compete as a white belt you need a pulse and a registration form.

    Not everything I say is a direct attempt to disagree with you for the sake of it.

    Never knew Enzo competed at the Bristol Open. He must have at the very least the basics and a good understanding of BJJ. Apparently he has dabbled with Muay Thai too.

    Enzo with 4 ounce gloves does damage. Enzo at 205 in MMA can add 5 pounds of muscle and could be formidable. The grappling is just what he needs to cover that chin.

    Oh yeah, Enzo has some pop in 10oz. In 4oz he'd be faster, more accurate and hit much harder. I'd like to see it.

    Back in the day I think he could beat Bisping like he said but Bisping is a much better grappler now so who knows.
