After seeing the contract Boogard got, I'm thinking some MMA athletes may be in the wrong business. Can any of these guys skate a lick? Guys like Aleks Emelianenko could make big dollars.

Eh, I'd rather just snag a straight-up boxer than MMA guy.. the other stuff is pretty useless for fights on ice.

I'll take Marcus Davis on my 4th line. He boxes, and everytime he gets touched he bleeds.. that's gotta be good for some high-sticking majors along the way.

MMA fighters get paid a lot less, though. Some guys might be better off in the AHL.

Crap, you said it 1st. Bossé has always been a fovorite of mine sice his hockey days, the man was a destroyer threw and threw. Hopefully one day he gets a UFC contract, a prelim fight night maybe?
