    Which boxers have succeeded in MMA?

    I haven't watched UFC since the Royce Gracie days. But I know a few boxers have tried it. Which ones have been successful?

          No. I wouldn't call him successful. Unless betting on Sports Entertainers is "successful".

              Sorry. EliteXC doesn't like ICON footage being shown around. You'll have to find a way to *******.

              I do know there's video out there of Williams throwing around Lennox Lewis.

                Depends on how much fight experience it takes to be considered "a boxer". Jens Pulver has four professional fights, and I recall there being a mid-tier UFC fighter with maybe a dozen. Not many, that's for sure, there's better money to be made in boxing. Strikers tend to come from Muay Thai/Kickboxing backgrounds.

                    I met Jeremy's dad at his gym in Long Beach, I was looking to train there.
                    The guy was an absolute crack up, punchy old dude kept calling me young man and talked to me for like two hours about his history in boxing. I asked him about Jeremy fighting MMA, his response:
                    "Yeah, Jeremy real good at that cage stuff...... I dont like that stuff"
                    Guess you had to be there, but it was great.
