    When will a MMA fighter step in the boxing ring?

    Toney and Mayorga have shown they have the guts to get in the Octagon. When is a UFC guy going to do the same?

    Dana White's got every MMA fighter by the balls with a vice grip.
    Anderson Silva, the #1 P4P MMA fighter on the planet, wanted a crack at Roy Jones Jr, Dana told him to keep dreaming.

      I think a few already have (and failed miseribly), not that I care enough to know their names or anything...

        because they would rather be "complete fighters" than "limited fighters" while making significantly less money. or at least thats what mma fanatics tell me.

                The difference is that a boxer is an expert in the art of boxing which is a part of MMA so they hold that advantage in that aspect. A MMA fight would have zero advantages in a boxing ring and thus have zero chance.

                  Oh im pretty sure they want to. Just to show that they can hang with boxer's or so they say. A mma fighter by the name of Diego Sanchez once claimed that he has a "Mexican Chin" and that this allowed him to be lethal in MMA. He also stated that had he been in Boxing it would have been to easy.
