ricardo mayorga vs rene ''level'' martinez july 27th

Ricardo Mayorga, a former boxing world champion, has "transitioned" to MMA and his second fight will be against a former backyard fighter named Level later this month.

Ricardo Mayorga's foray into MMA has been as ridiculous in practice as it was on paper. From his initial attempt to fight UFC veteran Din Thomas, a fight that collapsed under the weight of promotional issues and supposedly involvement from Don King, to his actual "debut" in May where Mayorga showed up at 175.9 pounds for a 155 pound bout. Mayorga won that fight with a blatantly illegal knee to the spine.

The Nicaraguan commission -- there's a Nicaraguan commission? -- overturned the result and "suspended" Mayorga for three months.

It appears that three months in Nicaragua means "almost three months" as Mayorga is set to return to MMA on July 27 in Omega MMA.

Since it's the only thing that makes any real sense, Mayorga will not only be fighting, but will be fighting a Kimbo Slice-lite in Rene "Level" Martinez, a former "backyard fighter."

lolol  

Didn't mayorgas last fight turn inti no contest after he kneed him in the spine?

I really wish more pro boxers would transition earlier in their careers but mayorga will be entertaining non the less

^Yup changed to NC after illegal knee.  Mayorga is up there in age.  I don't expect too much from his MMA career.

That last fight was hilariously surreal.

[23:11:57] Sweet Pea Is My Mom : Got caught in a triangle, kneed the guy's spinal column (took it to the streets), and finished with punches

 

it's just proof that mma doesn't work in street fights. a knee to the spine is going to dead the guy doing the nuts-in-yo-face BJJ moves.
