Hasim Rahman to fight in MMA

[rizkybizness]

id like to see his head swell up and burst, spraying the crowd with puss.

[MELLY-MEL...]

what a joke...........

[Fulcrum29]

don't worry y'all isn't ex-mma champ andrei arlovski (that just got gtfo by fedor, and was being trained by freddie roach for boxing skills) now going to turn pro boxer and have his first pro match soon? Roach even said something about Arlovski fighting and beating Klitschko or something like that.

[The RealDeal]

actually several notable heavyweights have competed in mma.Shannon Briggs,ray mercer,francois Botha,& cruiserweight enzo maccaraneli had considered competing.I know mercer tapped out to kimbo,Briggs I believe fought in k1.botha has a 2-8-1 record in mma.I don't like mma thou.Rahman needs to stay boxing.he looked sluggish against wlad but he was a replacement for povetkin & only trained for 16 days so I won't hold it against him.

You forgot the great Butter Bean !

When an upper echelon fighter like Mercer or Rahman goes MMA, it usually means two things....
1. His boxing career is over & he's just looking for some pennies on the $.
2. It's sad, almost like when Joe Louis had to wrestle after his career. In Joe's case, the IRS was hot on his tail, he had to. What is Rahman's excuse? Is he that hard up for cash? It's almost a shame.....

I don't know what to say.

[Pullcounter]

who cares if rachman fights in mma. he's washed up anyway.

[paul750]

He's physically very strong, but if he has limited skills he won't get too far I imagine. I think a lot depends on how serious the fighter is. If he's willing to go back to the drawing board and learn a lot of the basics, and respect the sport, he might have a better chance. Mercer was ignorant [as well as being old] and paid the price.

Edit: That was K1, now that I remember.

[Reggie Miller]

He knows his hopes in boxing are gone, so he joins MMA.

Good, i hope all heavies just quit, they all SUCK.
