The mohawk probably, but he looks nothing like Liddell. You need to scope those Iceman shorts out Rant!

99% of people hate Rig. I was a huge fan in his early career, KOing Willie Casey and stuff, but he stopped KOing people the higher up he got. Easily one of the best on the planet though.

I don't mean people would win or lose in the other sport. What I mean is that a boxer wouldn't look as TECHNICAL in MMA. It's not a situation of MMA fighters not being able to box. It's the format they are boxing in. The gloves make a huge difference. Having to think of other aspects make a huge difference. I'm sure MMA fighters would look a lot sharper if you put them in boxing. I know they've both exclusively fought nobodies, but Kimbo and Fabio Maldonado are undefeated in boxing yet in MMA they look really sloppy with their punches.

I prefer the brutality of a well landed punch in MMA compared to the slickness of a well landed punch in boxing. The fights are MUCH more competitive in MMA (due to the lack of interdependency for fighters) and the best HAVE to fight the best.
