              I wonder how a guy like Tyson would do in MMA. I think he would be a serious threat. Sadly, we have not seen the best of boxers switch over to MMA.

                Also boxing Journeyman Dashon Johnson has a pretty good MMA record, not on the top of the MMA ladder but a solid contender there also, hes one of those upsetter type opponents, almost KOed Jesse Hart recently

                  Holly is the only legit boxing champion to win a UFC belt, she is already secured.

                  Imagine if she went into MMA when she was younger? She is 36 now and beat Ronda at 34 years old after wars in boxing.

                  Ronda wants to quit and has no passion after losing.

                    Others who feel that if more quality boxers, like Holly Holm, switched to MMA, instead of guys like Butterbean, then it would go so much better for the boxers than now?
