Ricardo Mayorga Plans To Destory Din Thomas

I conquered the world in the boxing ring all the while I was puffing cigarettes and drinking beer. I won three world title belts and I stood toe-to-toe with so many legends, beating some of them. Vernon Forrest, God rest his soul, was a great boxer yet I beat him back twice. I cannot be denied as I am a force of nature. Now I will shock the MMA fans and I know so many of my fans from boxing will follow me as I expand my repertoire. They can’t deny me in MMA and I will destroy Din Thomas. I am going to smash him the way I smashed all the big superstars of boxing. To me, a fight is a fight in a ring, in a cage or on the street. Fighting is my middle name.

Din is a legitimately good MMA fighter and at his peak Ricardo Mayorga was a good boxer. His wins over Vernon Forrest were no joke and in a straight boxing match he’d be knocking Din out cold. However, we have no clue what kind of takedown defense or submission defense Mayorga brings to the table.
