    I can't even recall who or where I heard it but whether its true or not Sylvia won't be in a hurry to sign up for that again.

    Conor McG should've taught Tim about those ANGLES.

    Looks like Wilder will be lining up Ray Mercer for his next defense, I make Wilder a 3-2 favorite

    That would be the same Kimbo that failed miserably in the TUF house against noobs? How come each time a troll mention's Mercer its never this fight? :D

    Goes to show how devastating a boxer can be with no MMA training or experience.

    It was supposed to be a boxing match in a ring, but for some reason the commision wouldn't allow it, and they ended up going to MMA in an Octagon, and Sylvia and Mercer had a gentlemans agreement that they were going to box anyway, and the he starts off with a leg kick, and the rest is history. Sylvia had been working out with Freddie Roach, and was testing the waters on going into boxing. The waters were too cold.

    Originally Toney asked for Lesnar, Dana White is smarter than he seems and said, "no way!" Even a washed-up Toney would have given an athletic actor with no heart, stamina or chin a hell of a run.

    Yeah, but he didn't. He was abysmal.

    And that was the end of Mercer in MMA. Kimbo worked him over big time.

    A preview of what Mayweather is going to do to McFraud. All these UFC JOKES have glass jaws, waiting to be smashed.

    A 33 year old who attempted a kick must've broke the gentlemanly agreement then.

    A 33 year old ex champion shouldn't be losing to a 46 yr old retired, out of shape Ray Mercer considering how much superior MMA is overall huh.

    If one martial art was superior then it wouldn't evolve and mish mash over the years from bjj to wrestlers dominating and then to strikers taking over.

    I mean they're masters in every martial art, right? It should be easy to negate the martial art which is much inferior?

    Would Nate Diaz beat Golovkin in a street fight if Golovkin lands first? I'm not sure Diaz would honestly.

    I think elite boxing athletes could train MMA and potentially do well like the Klitschko's, Joshua, Golovkin,...etc... The more conventional boxer's would suffer though the one's with big power i think would do well after training other arts. I think it depends on the weight class also. I think heavyweight is the best transition for a boxer to mma.

    Ngannou was told he'd never make it in boxing because of the ''deep swimming pool'' of competition and now he's close to becoming the no.1 contender after three years of MMA training.

    With all the bad mistakes which occur like Aldo and Werdum walking into *punches* and being knocked out i find it funny people seem to think fighting is always a ''foregone'' conclusion and in MMA anything can happen depending on the strategy.

    I like MMA but i'm not fussed on UFC's production quality as it's ''too samey'' for me these days. I rather watch M1-Challenge.
