Paul Williams going to join the UFC???

[Da Hammer]

Well if he were to have success he might have a better chance at being a draw in UFC. I haven't always been the biggest fan but there is no question he is skilled and he could probably become a crowd pleasing MMA fighter!

[Blue Heffner]

Naw mane, naw man, you can cancel that. I'll be waitin' on them outside the ring with a bat somethin'.

-Paul Williams


That cracked me up. hahahahahaha.

Cruiser and light heavy?

Boxing has height divisions?

Just my opinion, at his height he should be fighting at a heavier weight...

Like you said, he looks huge compared to Cintron...

BJ Penn would clown Paul Williams at 155 or 170. Paul would get taken down with ease and submitted within 3 minutes. Dont be crazy! Chuck Liddell was a former college wrestler. That's where he learned his great takedown defense. Now,in a boxing match,Paul would whip BJ's ass!

I'm not being crazy. Boxer's as of right now have been drawn out of a far bigger talent pool. Boxer's are the best of the best. Maybe in 10 years UFC will have a bigger talent pool. But not right now. No UFC fighter could take a shot from Pwill. Those gloves on a boxer's hand are deadly weapons. All Williams or any good boxer has to do is stay standing for 30 seconds. In about three years you can learn to stay standing even against olympic wrestlers especially if your a superior athlete to the guy's you are fighting.

Thats how boxing works.... It's rare for a guy to be fighting at his walk around weight.. Very rare.

[Spray_resistant]

This is a good fight, they are close enough to the same relative size walk around weight and I expect Paul to break Kermit down and give him just an awful beating.

[FaustoGeraci]

"Young Gotti"???? It's Yo Gatti Paul.

He could of been referring to Kurupt.

[Snopkins]

Nobody cares about mmgay around here,it's a complete and utter joke.Why these mmgay journalists are covering our sport I will never know.These people should stick to writing about glass jawed grapplers.

[Pullcounter]

This is a funny ass interview.



He looks about 175 pounds in this video. He made Cintron look like a little boy and people think Pac beats him. Stop.

wrong bodytype for mma. he'd be easy to take down.

Marcus Davis was a pro boxer for a long time and compliled a 17-1 record during his pro boxing career. In 2000 he turned to MMA and competed on the Ultimate fighter series where he lost to Joe Stevenson. He has a 16-6 record in MMA and most of his wins have come by.......


Submission!!



So no a good boxer doesn't necessarily translate into success. Marcus has stated several times in various interviews I've read that the foot work and stance boxers use in the ring does not translate over to MMA because the staggered stance boxers use makes them easy to either be taken down or to be hurt by leg kicks. Boxers actually have to learn to square up which is something any good boxer would have trouble learning to do.


So please accept it, a good boxer doesnt translate to a good Mixed Martial Artist. Just like a good MMA fighter doesn't mean they could be a good boxer.
