    What MMA fighters do people know of who have a Pro Boxing record?

    .Jeff Monon 2/0/1 (2KO)
    .Jens Pulver 4/0/0 (3KO)
    .Nick Diaz 1/0/0 (1KO)
    .KJ Noons 11/2/0 (5KO)
    .Vitor Belfort 1/0/0 (1KO)
    .Jerome Le Benner 6/0/0 (5KO)
    .Ray Sefo 5/1/0 (4KO)
    .Anderson Silva 1/1/0 (1KO)
    .Aleksander Emelianenko 0/0/1
    .Marcus Davis 17/1/2 (12KO)
    .Chris Lytle 13/1/1 (7KO)
    .Alessio Sakara 8/1/0 (6KO)
    .Melvin Guillard 0/1/1
    .Patrick Cote 0/1/0
    .Yves Edwards 2/0/0 (2KO)
    .Mark Hunt 0/1/1
    .Tra Telligman 4-2-0 (3KO)
    .Pat Smith 5-11-2 (4KO)
    .Don Frye 1-1-0 (1KO)

    Thats all I can think of... Butterbeat was more of a boxer so I didnt include his...

    What about Lil Nog? Was all his boxing amature...

    Didnt Couture box? Again I think it was probabally amature.

    Am I missing anyone?

    JEFF MONSON BOXED!!!!! Laughing

    Others:

    Kit Cope (although he is so shit he might not even count as an MMA fighter) 1-1-0

    Nishjiima had a pretty successful boxing career, something like 24-2.

    Mikey Burnett (from TUF 4) had one fight.

    I know I was shocked, Monson had professionally boxed!! Monson has the shittest standup going, if you can find the video of him trying to hit the speed bad in the gym its comical! Laughing

    I hope Aleks E has given up on boxing... he really sucked at it. Those low hands arent going to cut it. I think he likes to pretend its a low lead hand, like a shoulder roll... but I think he is just being lazy!

    Both of which didnt really do a lot. I always wonder if the K-1 boys would do well. Say Badr Hari or Remey Bonjasky. The heavyweight scene is at an all time low. Its not unthinkable that one of them could put Haye or John Ruiz away. I wonder why there havnt been more successfull crossovers from K-1. Skelton had resonable success for a guy who wasnt even great at K-1 and was years past his best.

    well not bonjasky anyway his hands have always been his weak point and hari is way to wild with his and has a glass chin cant see either doing well in boxing really i actaully think of any k-1 fighter doing well in boxing apart from maybe masato but hes alot lighter much harder division at his weight

    Schilt? Overoid? Aerts if he was younger?

    John Ruiz is a title contender again, It would shock me if a few of the K-1 guys wouldnt blow him away, Even Mighty Mo could probabally replicate the Tua fight!

    Fucking hell how did that man box!!! Quality calling out Kimbo, Monson would dominate Kimbo so Badly its not funny. Monson is as good as Nelson they had a 50/50 fight. I wonder if he will be back in UFC or go to SF, he has 2 fights in the next few months. I really really hope he isnt in an exclusive contract with Shine fights.

    Travis fulton has an extensive boxing record, its a losing record but he has had around 40 pro boxing bouts! Where does the man get the time?

    Ye thats not really a fair fight, Monson would get the takedown and quickly get a sub or GnP him. If stays standing he is screwed though.

    I think Shine fights are exclusive in the US so I doubt we will see him with SF or the UFC soon.

    Laughing Brown's response to Monson's callout is class.

    The Monson and Brown thing is quality. Those two are really close and always messing around playing pranks on people.

    I love Mike Brown, not just because of that but he is one of MMA's funnier characters.
