    Kickboxers have limited boxing skill some MMA fighters have good boxing skill like Cory Sandhagen and Izzy.

    Israel Adesanya was a long time kickboxer who transitioned to MMA you complete utter buffoon.

    I know, that was the whole thing about him fighting Perera I simply worded what I was saying wrong, Izzy has far more boxing skill than any kickboxer.

    Eh. I dont think so. A lot of the smaller weight class guys like Tenshin for one have better boxing.

    Generally kickboxers are better boxers and general strikers (shocking I know) than MMA fighters although the gap is maybe not as big as it used to be.
