Not sure if this is legit but Karyn Bryant posted this: "Roy Jones, Jr. is now looking to establish his own reputation in MMA when he makes his promotional debut in the Strikeforce Challengers series on August 12th against Derrick "Caveman" Mehmen (11-3). Your thoughts?" Hate to do it but I'm going with Jones KO round 1

It's not "the" Roy Jones. It's an actual MMA fighter named Roy Jones.

I would have liked to have seen him in MMA many years ago, but he's past his prime now. I don't know who Mehmen is but it looks like he's mainly a grappler, Roy will probably get subbed 1st rd.

I'll give you this -- the way that fight was described was certainly misleading. I don't see RJJ ever coming over to MMA though, there's no reason for it. He can bring in a bigger pay day fighting a no body in boxing than he ever would fighting in a UFC or Strikeforce event.

there isnt a way for rjj to get enough money in mma for him to risk the switch.

Sorry for pretty much repeating @rwlawman.
