Anyone watched Gamebred Boxing 4 April 1 ? This topic might not be appropriate place to post, but most of the card was filled by formed MMA/UFC fighters Cheesy

Anthony Pettis def. Roy Jones Jr
Vitor Belfort def. Ronaldo Souza
Jose Aldo vs. Jeremy Stephens (check out background guy cap Cheesy

)

What can I say - when person retires from MMA, he moves to boxing. Turns out that if person has lost its prime form in MMA, he is still good for boxing. And it is funny that formed MMA guy now fight under boxing rules. I think it hard for them to resist to throw a low kick or try to take down, when they have been doing it against their opponents for ages Cheesy

I really think that is a brilliant find and sharing it is a good thing actually curious enough I think MMA fighters tend to still want to fight to find their way in boxing because they know that there is no wrestling or grappling needed just pure striking and that said, Anthony Pettis, Vitor Belfor, and Jose Aldo is all good strikers in the MMA, so a little training with boxing is just needed by them to be good on this even though Pettis has 8 submissions win his KO wins is remarkable, so I think it is a good find but surely their opponent

It's funny that someone from the UFC goes to Boxing instead of retiring, I wonder why these guys who make a lot of money and keep getting hurt for years still want to keep fighting, they even created exhibition fights to keep fighting even when they're done. they are old, UFC guys learn various martial arts and as in the UFC they throw punches so it is very easy to get used to Boxing, although in Boxing they will spend many hours using only their arms but from what I see not even that is not a barrier that will make them give up

there will come a time when we will see fights between fighters who are already very old and who were legends in the past and the title of the fights will be: "fights of legends". I do not doubt that this will happen, because we are walking in a path where fighters are no longer able to retire, could it be that fighters do not earn enough money to guarantee a good retirement? Why do I keep asking myself why they retire from the UFC but go into Boxing or exhibition fights, but don't retire from Boxing?

in some cases they stop fighting for a while and when you think they are going to retire they start fighting again, why does that happen? Could it be that the money they earn in the UFC isn't good enough for them to retire? What is the lowest salary paid in the UFC?

I think they really stop fighting with their MMA career but, they want to fight badly and they know that they can still progress with boxing if not in the MMA then at least a couple of fights with boxing, or maybe accepting Jake Paul or some retired boxer to face them on an Exhibition match-up or they can even make it as a professional fight, it is up to them, or maybe they need cash and seeing MMA fighters making a big amount in boxing that they decided they will try because they themselves had already had a name in the MMA sports so they can sure gain many viewers
