You mean they actually have to go by their contracts in the NFL? No way man, that's just harsh. No wonder he wants to go to the UFC. There you don't have to do anything you say you will do or follow any sort of silly contract rules. Those big bad bully NFL people. (see how dumb that sounds?) What?

Alot of mainstream sports athletes practice martial arts. Remember Greg Lloyd? The former Steeler linebacker is a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and teaches at 2 schools in Georgia.

I think if Ray Ray takes it serious, you’d have to think he’d be a good fighter

Thanks! Westbrook laid him out pretty good and Davis was no small guy. Any idea what these NFL vets turned fighters are doing now regarding mma? Yeah, that’s right Sam. Thanks!

I live in baltimore and follow the ravens closely ..Ray is a 4 time florida state champ in wrestling he is no slouch on the mat. Ray has had a pro boxing coach for the last 3 years training him. If he is serious then you better believe he is going to do well, the man is a beast physically . this would def. get some pub going ... that being said there is no way he could ever fight while under contract with the ravens ... no way at all .... then again stranger things have happened (kellen winslow not getting cut for wrecking his bike for one ) but I dount there is anyway he could while still being a active pro football player Ray Ray in the ufc ?… I live in baltimore and follow the ravens closely ..Ray is a 4 time florida state champ in wrestling he is no slouch on the mat.

Most of the news is bs rumors that some person reports, and they pick up on it. They ran some big story that rapper Enimem was going to sign with the WWE, and it was automatically debunked right away. I know Ray Lewis was supposed to be apart of some BET project where celebrities manage MMA teams. Don’t believe any of the crap that comes out of MediaTakeOut.
