Mayorga is going over to MMA?

Don't you think UFC will negotiate with fighters to force the fight standing at least for sometime at the beginning? If there is no KO at that initial minutes, then I guess it will soon finish on the ground. After all UFC fighters can take the chance of having sevearl loses and still be at the top, different from boxing where the 0 losses has a lot of weight. With this I am not saying that Mayorga will win, just that UFC can try to make this fight more entertaining and man, if a negotiation like this happen Mayorga has power.

He's not fighting in the UFC.

He's fighting for some small upstart company, Shine.

Idk if it will even be televised. Probably will be on PPV or some crap.

Shame it's Mayorga. He won't do boxing justice IMO. It needs to be someone with really good and fast footwork because yes if it goes to the floor the boxer loses but whilst it's stood up, with the handspeed and power boxers have in their arsenal, they are extremely dangerous to an MMA fighter. Don't forget the fight starts stood up.

Someone like a prime Roy Jones who could be 10 feet away, wait for his opponent to make a move, move in and bang with a freakish amount of force and be back 10 feet away in less than a second would have been a nightmare for an MMA fighter.
