Tyson Fury wants to fight the UFC Heavyweight champion?

In mma you have so many different disciplines you can fall on if one is failing. In boxing you only have punching.

That was true for MMA years ago, but the sport has evolved now to the point where you have to be REALLY, REALLY good at everything. If you have a weakness, someone's going to exploit it.

That's BS! There's only a handful of fighters in the UFC who are really really good at everything, most are just good at their original discipline and wouldn't stand a chance if entered a comp in another field they are "good" in

Being "really good" at something doesn't mean you're the best in the world at it. That's nearly impossible. Can you think of ANY athlete who was world class at two sports? Bo Jackson and Deon Sanders are the only two I can think of (football and baseball).

There have been tons of MMA fighters who have fought pro boxing with success, there are tons of MMA fighters who have gone into ADCC and other grappling tournements and dominated.

To have any success in the UFC, you have to have good standup skills, wrestling skills and submission skills, or else you don't last long.
