George Foreman: 'I Love the UFC. I Love It'



Former heavyweight boxing champion George Foreman is not one of those boxing guys who attack UFC and make themselves look like horse-and-buggy manufacturers insisting that the motorcar is a passing fad. In fact, Foreman had this to say in an interview with Kevin Iole of Yahoo! Sports:
"I love the UFC. I love it," Foreman said. "If they had had that back when I was coming up, in 1966, it would have been my sport. Man, I love it. And you know what? Nobody would have pulled the rope-a-dope on me."
Foreman thinks highly of the 44-year-old UFC heavyweight champion Randy Couture, who's defending his title a week from today at UFC 74. But Couture would have to hold his belt for a couple more years to match Foreman's longevity.

Re: George Foreman: 'I Love the UFC. I Love It'

lol @ the rope-a-dope comment.

It's interesting that Foreman said if MMA was around when he was young, he would have went into that instead of boxing. Just imagine how many other major athletes (boxers, team sport athletes, olympic wrestlers, what have you) would have trained to become a multi-styled fighter.
