    Get ready for another UFC vs Boxing! Another fight to settle the debate once and for all. First he challenged the blob, now he's challenging bum ass Fury to fight their Heavyweight champion. What a joke...
    Fury challenged CAIN. Stay current.

      Exactly what would that bring him?

        But Dana isn't dumb. He knows a boxer beats an mma fighter in a boxing match and vice versa.
        He publicly stated that so it's not like it's a secret.Anyway mma is a better organize sport that boxing and more fan friendly.

            I never said he was in the wrong, i was telling him why he obviously wouldn't want his fighters doing boxing. It makes him zero money.

              Yeah it's hard to argue against UFC being more organized and easier for the fans to follow along.

              Is it a better sport with better athletes though?

              I love both, for what it's worth. Boxing sure could learn from the ufc though.

                lol can you imagine the damage it would do to UFC's credibility if Fury stopped Velasquez with a jab

                  True. But when the guy is a world champion in an extremely popular and competitive combat sport he is clearly skilled, even if it is not to the level of Ward or Mayweather

                      Imagine the damage it would do to boxings credibility if boxing fans only gave boxers a punchers chance in MMA? Oh wait......
