Ray Mercer is 0-1 I think? He lost to Kimbo slice amazingly.

There are a couple of other established guys, an Italian called Alessia or something and a yank whose name i can't remember..... Not very helpful I know!

Mark Potter

There are also a number of relatively high profile MMA fighters who have done the opposite and switched to pro boxing- in some cases doing both at the same time.

It was embarrassing the way he went into the fight disrespecting MMA and saying he could just go in there and KO the guy out (UFC HOF)

Mercer is 1-1. He lost to Kimbo, but knocked out Tim Sylvia with one punch (see video).

He is the last person to beat Conor McGregor who is a bit of a star in Ireland at the moment.

Former IBF cruiser champ James Warring went 2-1 in MMA. He also had a bash at K1 and got flattened by Peter Aerts (no real shame there).

Another former IBF cruiser champ had a go at MMA too - Imamu Mayfield.

I'm sure someone else did from that era/weight. Mind's gone blank.
