This is the high-quality stupidity I love about combat sports.

Wait, Mayweather is going to fight in a MMA match or is this some type of modified rules thing?

They haven't worked that part out yet, which only adds to the stupidity.

To put RIZIN stupidity in perspective for MMA fans unfamiliar with them, Bob Sapp is on a two fight winning streak in RIZIN, with him dominating both fights via superior grappling and cardio.

They also have non-freak fights, but I love me some Bob Sapp and general combat sports nonsense like this.

That.....doesn't leave a lot of time to actually hammer those details out. No way this actually happens unless it is just a straight boxing match though, anything else and Mayweather just gets killed.
