Thread: Mayorga is going over to MMA?

Mayorga: "I Conquered Boxing, Now I Will Conquer MMA" - Boxing News

Man, I think Mayorga is a good candidate to go into MMA. He's tough at nails, what he does is gritty though. kinda hard to picture him having a ground game. What is it with UFC picking up boxings leftovers?

Yes and he's fighting in March I believe.

Too bad its against Din Thomas...so Mayorga is most likely gonna get tapped out.

He's my favorite fighter and I wished he would have stayed in BOXING.

He's doing himself a huge disservice by going against Din in his fight pro fight. If he was serious about an MMA career, he should have eased in like guys like Bobby Lashley have. Hes just going to be taken down, submitted, and that will be it.

"conquered boxing"

beating vernon forrest and then having your ass handed to you by every decent opponent you ever thought is hardly conquering anything is it.

Mayorga will get a schoolground beating by a mixed martial arts specialist and dana white will claim some kind of bogus moral victory over boxing!!

The exact same thing would happen to couture if he ever dared to step in a boxing ring!!

Yeah, cuz offering free shots and then getting cut to ribbons by guys wearing 10+ ounce gloves wasn't enough... Wouldn't put it past White as the MMA mouthpiece to approach Thomas with a little financial incentive to finish mayorga as quickly as possible...

Mayorga has been training for this since October I think, well thats when it was first mentioned, hopefully hes learnt enough to not lose early, he was also the one who wanted a class opponent!

It will be fun while it lasts, Din Thomas is always going on how he could outbox a boxer and with Ricardos goading, maybe he might try and trade

I dont think that will happen. This MMA fight has nothing to do with the UFC, he is fighting on a 'Shine' MMA card, a lesser organisation. I agree though that Din Thomas is a wrong choice of opponent. Din is very talented, well-rounded and a former UFC veteran. Once the fight hits the floor, that will be all she wrote.
