Boxing-MMA Crossovers: Boxers who fought in MMA
MMA only started in 1980, meaning it's young enough for us to see a full history of the sport. Boxing, however, was invented centuries ago with evidence stretching as far back as 3,000 BC. We won't know about every boxer who ever lived, but the same isn’t true of MMA fighters.
So just how many boxers have fought in MMA? The answer is 111.
When a boxer joins the ring, the MMA spreads tend to use boxing data to figure out who might win, but very few boxers can handle the rough and tumble attitude of UFC.
