Show me a MMA fight in which someone won with kicks. As far as I can tell the ratio of punches to kicks is something like 95:5.
Tyson was never a good boxer. Probably the most overrated boxer of all time. But may have also been the best-managed boxer of all time.
That kickboxer is FOS.
I'm betting that purses in boxing are still much higher than purses in UFC. People in boxing have invested their entire lives in the sport. Since they were kids. Switching to UFC is a big step, sending the message "I have failed in boxing." i.e. Butterbean. A true boxing contender, it seems, would have no incentive to leave boxing. A bad boxer might.
Does anyone have a link to purses in the UFC?
