Yeah. Sapp is a K1 joke. He'd get his clock cleaned by any real NHB fighter, assuming it was a no-holds-barred style fight.

Good fight for tyson.

He'd get killed in mixed martial arts, so he compromises and goes into a sport that remains boxing friendly.

People I'd bet on against tyson.
Jeremy Horn, Coleman, Tito Ortiz, Frank Shamrock (even now), Rodrigo Noguera, Mario Sperry (even now), Mark Kerr, etc...
Lots o people.

Just not Sapp.

For those of you that don't know about K1, its similar to muai-thai, so people seem to think that it counts as martial arts.

These guys fight in K1 because, for the most part, they are kickboxers/strikers and boxing converts that aren't gonna make it in the Mixed martial arts scene. The big exception to this was Maurice Smith, who had a successful career in K1 and mma.
Gary Goodrich has also had some success in both--actually, he had more success in K1 since he was a brawler with no grappling / ground skills anyway.
