Of course he'd have to study the ground game a bit, but if he took it seriously I think he'd do very well within a year or so. Ricky has obviously great stand-up, and I think even right now he'd be amongst the best stand-up fighters in the game right now. Boxers hands are much better than MMA hands. Even Anderson Silva, who's the best puncher in MMA right now, possibly, even he wouldn't be close to even a B-level boxer in that respect. I'd like to see it anyway.

I mean, I know how I'd fight him, and anyone with a groundgame is going to do it. Still, we'll wait and see what happens.
