You do not see many boxers make the leap from the ring to the cage. It has been executed, however not in a very long time. James Toney made the bounce again in 2010 and was simply completed by Randy Couture. However then once more, there’s Holly Holm.
In recent times, the temptation of huge paydays have lured combined martial artists to the boxing ring, nevertheless it’s been a one-way avenue. Jake Paul is coaching to make his Skilled Fighters League debut and Ryan Garcia known as out bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley for an MMA bout within the UFC.
On his YouTube channel, O’Malley responded to Garcia saying, “I would combat Sean O’Malley within the UFC that is it.”
“Buddy, I stated, brother, I would kill you inside minutes. It isn’t even, it is simply not even real looking,” O’Malley stated. “It is loopy how silly and delusional. I ponder if individuals suppose that once I name out boxers, although. Is it the identical sort of factor? It’s a little bit loopy once I name out boxers. A bit of bit. Not a ton. Not a 100-percent loopy. A bit of bit, however when boxers say they wish to combat MMA, 100-percent loopy.”
When Toney fought Couture, Couture merely took him down and submitted him. O’Malley would not suppose he wants grappling to beat Garcia in an MMA combat.
“I need not f**king take him down. I imply, I may take him down and choke him, nevertheless it’s like I’d kick him within the f**king physique. I’d kick his little sticks. I’d do regardless of the f**ok I wished to him,” O’Malley stated.
“I may field him with MMA gloves. It is a completely different sport with simply these little MMA gloves. The gap is completely different,” O’Malley continued. “I may beat him and Devin Haney in the identical night time, back-to-back in a combat. Pure delusion.”
