    He's a kick boxer as well as orthodox boxer. How long would it take him to learn some wrestling and submissions?:hey

    He was in ukrainian military, probably done some Sambo or something, dont know though...
    I assume this is VERY hypothetical though? Guy cant buy milk without injuring himself.

    Yep, and having people throw him on his head will not be good for his existing injuries. MMA is a lot harder on the body. But it would be very interesting.

    yeah, I doubt getting slammed on his head would do him any good. But Imagine Vitali K in the "Ultimate Fighter". Would he'd have beat Rahsad Evans? lol!

    All he would really need is a good defense and sprawl like Tim.

    I saw an interview with the brothers once and they have done judo-sambo when they were kids and in the Military. If he was younger he could have done well.

    I have no doubts that if he trained since young he could have done very well.

    That would be dumb for him. He will never make as much money as in boxing, and he is not a wrestler.
