i see his family has mma experince, but does he have any experience to speak of? has he been secretly training mma? if not, i don't see how this could be a good idea. having said that i think that more boxers should entertain the idea of moving over to mma at some point. boxing is about the only martial art that's not truly represented in mma.
now this could be interesting. i expect that Maia would win this matchup much the same way that Floyd would beat Conor in boxing. i would like to see how well Conor could do though.
