    RJJ gets destroyed in a MMA bout. On the other hand RJJ destroys Anderson Silva in a pure boxing match. It's simple and everyone knows this.

    The whole crossing over **** needs to stop. It's bollocks.

    Wasn't Mike Tyson suppose to join UFC a few years back too?

    I'm sure he challenged Bob Sapp at a K1 or Pride evenmt, not 100% on that though.

    He refereed a British MMA fight once:

    Tyson says in an interview afterwards that he likes watching cage fighting, but his fighting days are over. He'd like to referee again though - the fight was short, he didn't do much.

    Dana White is an idiot. He needs to let Fedor sign a one fight deal and destroy his Heavyweight Champion.

    He won't do this because it would make his Heavyweight Division even more worthless than it already is.

    Haven't you heard? Dana won't sign him because "Fedor's camp is demanding the UFC build an arena for them". I can't make that **** up. :rofl

    If anyone truly believes that, boy, have I got a deal on T-shirts for you!

    Roy is just seeking attention.

    Much like he does when he claims he is going after so and so in Boxing and never follows through.

    silva has **** for head movement and his boxing skills wouldn't make the amateur level.

    he'd have to run in and try to tackle the guy for a snowballs chance in hell

    Which would be remarkably simple for Silva to do. This is why this fight is a dumb idea.

    yeah, though I could imagine him trying to prove mma's 'boxing skills' and trying to outstrike him.

    RJJ would get wrecked. Why do boxers think they can go into MMA successfully?
