WORST IDEA 8/28/10: Entering UFC without any training

While technically a boxer has the chance of scoring a big punch knockout in a mixed martial arts fight, it's essentially insane to enter a UFC octagon without being trained in fighting beyond boxing. Since fighter won't just stand there and get hit a boxer with no wrestling or submission skills is likely going to get destroyed. That's exactly what happened to James Toney when he fought Randy Couture on Saturday night. Toney tried a punch, Couture took him down and in a few seconds, the fight was over.
