@lolmanAza Sorry you are completely wrong, in fact little Antônio Rogério Nogueira was a south american games gold medalist in boxing & has never held an MMA title. Different athletes transition better to MMA than others, for example Vitali Klitschko was knocked out twice at kickboxing. Head kick out cold in 93 by Reid & Van Roosmalen knocked him down with low kicks and KO'd him with a head kick in 95. Obviously it would be tough for him to transition if he couldn't handle low kicks.

yeah but have you ever seen a mma trained boxer they rape any ufc fighter puerly because of their understanding of evasion and countering

@TCSportsNews boxing is hella dead, big fan of sweat pea btw, but boxing now is shit, shitty divisions, shady champs, only pussy assholes who take it in the back door would let promoters ruin theyre favorite sport. MMA owns boxing right now, hopefully boxing comes back to its former glory when arum dies

@Trickstamp01 But, you make it seem like they could just make the switch, like it's super easy. And it wouldn't. I don't think you understand how different the two striking styles are.

[StevieBInTheHizzie]

@Trickstamp01 Again, I disagree. Like I probably mentioned before, striking in MMA is completely different. They may use the word "Boxing" to refer to an athlete's ability to outstrike his opponents with his hands, but it's nothing like actual boxing. The stance is different, the movement is different, posture, angles, everything is different. It would almost be like learning a new art from scratch. I'm not saying it's impossible. Nick Diaz won his one Boxing match. Marcus Davis was a boxer.

@Trickstamp01 The only people that say boxing is a "dying" sport is the clueless ufc fools. mma is a sport of bums that couldn't make it in boxing. Boxing is way more entertaining with a whole list of reasons. There may be different races in ufc but only drunk white guys watch it. mma will probably not die out but it should because it's not a sport.

@Trickstamp01 Your comment is a joke right? Ha ha it's a good one too. An mma fighter wouldn't last 3 rounds in the ring with a boxer, that's why they fight mma. A boxer is conditioned far better than a mma because 90% of the time they're rolling around on the floor looking to grab the other guys balls. mma fighters/fans clearly don't understand the sweet science of boxing. mma is garbage
