Pac, interview with Filipino MMA promotion URCC:
"Do you have any plans on joining Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) events such as the URCC?
Well, I like that kind of fighting because it's harder than Boxing, but I'd rather learn all the techniques first before joining this sport. It's not that because I'm a boxer it means I know everything in the art of fighting you know."
A lot of people need to appreciate how hard takedowns and takedown defense is to learn. Penn has taken people down who have wrestled their entire lives, fighters who have trained specifically to avoid. He's a fighter who won a Judo blackbelt tournament after a few months of serious training, when he was still a BJJ white belt.
Haye spoke in a recent interview about practicing keeping a fight standing against MMA fighters, seeing if he could land a clean shot before he was taken down.
"Despite always starting on my feet with these guys, I was finding myself taken to the mat eight times out of 10. That gives me a two in 10 chance of landing a hard punch and knocking my MMA opponent out."
