Cintron picked the wrong sport to be in.... I have a good feeling he would have been a better MMA fighter than a boxer.

At the end of the day, he has rare one punch knockout power that is natural. We have seen Silva knockout people going back... and I have a good feeling pound per pound... Cintron is a harder puncher than 98% of all MMA fighters.

The reason I asked regarding heavyweights is that Jake Rossen said in his chat that most welterweights would be able to beat Toney. Seems like an outlandish statement, but is there some truth to it? Is there any fighter in UFC that an MMA-inexperienced Toney would beat? Don't know enough about Toney to form an opinion, other than being confident in Randy grounding him and beating him there.

The question here is clear: Would Tony have won UFC 1?

Any WW would be able to double leg him, I don't doubt that. From there, it's over. If anything, Toney is less likely to catch a WW coming in, given the speed of the shot. So I could see it.

This is a nerdy topic.

Question: Gandolf vs Shredder - won wins in a NHB match?

Shredder's armor puts him at an advantage. If Gandolf can wear a gi, I'll give him the edge.

Gandolf by Peruvian Necktie is the 3rd round.

If Deadliest Warrior manages to get a third season, you'll probably get an answer.
