    Rodriguez is alson known to have drug problems in recent years, he may not be past his prime age wise... but he isn't looking after himself as a professional athlete should.

    For what it's worth he weighed in at 270lbs for this fight.

    even in ufc it seemed rodriguez hated being hit, i saw him quit after taking one shot from gan mcgee, getting a bloody nose and deciding hed taken enough punishment, whether he is fat and old or not, ricco will never be a good boxer

    Boxing, MMA, and kickboxing are all different sports A boxer should be able to beat someone from another sport. Should have knocked him out not win a split decision.

    They need to wear wrestling or boxing shoes. Nobody except ***s like Te Tumbo, or Mundo likes to watch MME and see sweaty men in the missionary for 15 minutes, with big uglyass manfeets in the air for all to see.

    Just because it's fighting, doesn't mean it's the same game.

    Seriously this has no impact on MMA at all. Rico is a bjj guy and can't punch for ****. The only thing proven here is that Rico is an idiot for thinking he can Box.

    This doesn't surprise me much. I'm not an MMA fan, but I've actually seen Ricco's fight against Tim Silvia which was a very basic stand up fight much like a boxing match, and Rodriguez was laid out with just a single right cross in that fight. I don't think Ricco would have ever been good at boxing even if he were introduced to it at an early age. It just doesn't seem like his kind of sport.

    He was also on that Celebrity Rehab show on VH-1... which has nothing to do with anything I just thought I'd mention it.

    I would give him time at least for him he didn't get knocked out ..I can't imagine its an easy transition from using both your hands and feet to strike to just using your hands ..
