According to Lennox Lewis on facebook. McCall was/is one hell of a crazy fucker, took 12 cops to arrest him in Vegas once when he kicked off. If he wasa bit younger I think he d do ok. Fucker doesn't seem to feel pain.

Yes, a 50 year old drug addict washed up boxer who's never studied BJJ or wrestling in his life is going to make a huge impact on MMA. See James Toney vs Randy Couture.

Riddick Bowe had a pretty sweet muay thai debut in 2013. I'm sure McCall would be just about as successful.
-
He's got serious problems, any of you remember his title fight where he came out crying?

Apparently all he can feel is emotional pain.
My first thought when I saw his name was him crying in the corner (if i remember it was before the fight even started). I wonder how many people remember him just for that.

He may do ok in a kumate but not in MMA.

fighting is shit

THIS...totally diffrent game altogether.
-
A couple of lowkicks will put him down easily.

I remember watching that fight, walking around with his hands down, crying, had a nervous breakdown in the ring.
Oliver is a messed up dude...

Put him in vs Mike Tyson and you've got the most watched MMA fight of all time.

McCall has realised that da cage is where its at.

you know something we donīt ? alone his age and lack of experience in any other system puts him in a very weak position. MMA is about controlled aggression and technique...

If you have no defense against take downs and no ground game you can't compete in MMA. Boxing is a brutal sport but it's incomplete as a martial art.
On the opposite end of the spectrum remember when jui jitsu dominated MMA until they fought guys that had defense against take downs who could strike. Suddenly Royce looked very human. You need a complete game now.

Haha i was in thailand for that and at his camp. Great guy but he got destroyed....Had no answer for leg kicks. McCall would do the worst out of all of them as he's 50, a completely unstable loose cannon, and no doubt broke as hell to be even considering fighting still.
painful match. makes you wonder what the hell he was thinking. He surely had to have at least practiced Muay Thai and known he couldn't take those kicks.

Judo+Boxing.

Judo is the forerunner of BJJ and while they have added techniques it is still the nucleus of their system. Boxing/wing chun and you have it. It reminds me of the Wing Chun story. Who has the correct system from Yip Man, truth is there is other interprations and all valid. I know in Germany we have people who are Turkish who added wrestling from turky to their system. They then call this for example Avci Wing Tzun. The Martial arts are always changing.

Other than Ronda who had a 15 year head start, no judo guys have dominated the UFC. All have been exposed by well rounded MMA guys who can strike. Karo Parisyan and Manny Gamburyan come to mind. Royce even clowned that European judo champion Remco Pardoel back in the day.

Never understood the hype about Yip Man and his useless art (just my opinion, don't kill me), he was a tiny old opium addict that never laid hands on anyone probably, and Bruce Lee was mostly taught by Wong Shun Leung...

Ground fighting came from various Japanese Schools or Ryus..BJJ comes from this. Judo was the modern fore Father. Also in one post i can say the Wing Tzun (wing chun) has many interpretations and you are correct in your post about Wong Shun Leung. I know his Student in Germany.

Tbf, he was taken out of rehab for crack addiction so that he could fight.
Don King is such a cunt

The boxing skills of a Bowe, the kickboxing skills of a Tillery, and the grappling skills of a Newman. This combination of talent from the world of boxing would shiver the timbers of top MMA fighters.
