    Enzo Maccarinelli, ex world cruiser weight champion. Some of you folks from the usa wont have a clue who he is. He got beat tonight. Will be on his way to the UFC soon. Will be interesting to see how he does in a real fight. :good

    He competes in bjj, so it's not a bad idea. It's not official at all yet, he's been talking for a while.

    He's talked about having a go at MMA, but not seriously. And definitely not the UFC. He does jiu jitsu at a hobby level, not serious grappling. If he ever does fight he'll never make it to the UFC.

    I'm curious to see how well Enzo does in MMA if it comes to fruition. He trains in jiujitsu - so he should be perfectly prepared to step into the Octagon. He won't be able to go from a losing streak in boxing straight into the UFC. He might have to go through some smaller shows in order to build a MMA resume first.

    Oh dear!! I thought he wasnt being serious about that. I mean half the words that come out of his mouth are bull****. I don't think he will do to well in MMA. And he won't get near the UFC.

    Well thats quite unfair.

    UFC has some horrible, undeserving fighters in its stable. Maccaranelli as mediocre of a boxer that he is, could at least get a couple fights in the UFC even if he manages to lose every single one of them.

    OK. He could get a fight on a UFC card. He will never be a fighter of note who fights in the UFC, though.

    He's talked about it a couple of times on Buncey's show. Said Dana calls him often. NO joke. Plus he said he would give up boxing if he got beat in this fight. If he fights at his current weight it will be the LHW division in he UFC. Who's do you think will be his 1st opponent? I say maybe Colman. Thoghts?

    It's more like a real fight than a boxing match or kickboxing match. Do you disagree?

    Also, for christsake, who do you consider to be a good boxer? EM is 29-4 with 22 KOs and held a relatively major title and defended it a number of times. He's got to be better and more experienced than 99.99% of all boxers out there. What portion of boxers in the world do you consider to be "good"?

    Why would he be fighting Lesnar? Enzo weighed in at 197 Friday and even said he could make 175 LHW in boxing so he could probably compete at middleweight in the UFC.
