Perennial top ranked MMA superstar, Frank ‘Twinkle Toes’ Trigg, has answered the boxing legends’ call for an MMA fight and is actively pursuing putting an MMA match up together. Trigg, a former collegiate wrestling star from the University of Oklahoma – turned MMA champion – has fought the very best in the game and been in contention for the mythic pound-for-pound best MMA fighter in the world no less than three times in his storied career. ‘Toes’ believes that if the former Undisputed World Boxing champion is serious about fighting MMA, then this fight has the possibility to shift the combat arts landscape.

“Roy, welcome to my world… where the business model severely limits an individual athletes prospects for competition and commerce unless you tow the party line. If you want to be taken seriously in the MMA game, step into the cage with me and see where you stand – literally. Make your case to the powers-that-be who say that you are not qualified. You’re a real athlete, in fact one of the best combat artists ever … if you’d like to challege yourself and your ‘sweet science’, now is the time.

Trigg goes on to say that, “We have a promoter in Roy’s home state of Florida that is very interested in making this fight happen – my manager has been in contact with his people at Square Ring. There is no reason why this can’t go forward, this is exactly why MMA has exploded in popularity: to explore which style prevails in real unarmed combat, athlete vs athlete, champion vs champion, you bring your weapons & I bring mine. Finally the time has come to pull the sheet back on America’s cultural bias towards boxing… going so far as to call it ‘the sweet science’ while deriding MMA .. when in my eyes it is merely a punchers version of Greco-Roman wrestling. Let’s do this Roy, give the power back to the athlete & the fans. Let’s find out how your science matches my up to my art.”
