I don't follow fight sports a lot but I recently saw that the former pro boxing champ Paulie Malignaggi had a feud with the MMA community after he supposedly lost a boxing sparring match to Conor McGregor years ago and got mocked for it. He wanted to get back by challenging a lower level MMA fighter Artem Lobov to a bare knuckle boxing match but lost the fight and ended up embarrassed again. To his defense, he is very old and had a lot of hand injuries, but it's still very humiliating to get beaten in what is basically his own sport IMO.
Considering his feud with MMA community, do you think he could at least beat a top female MMA fighter under MMA rules?
What do you think would happen if Amanda Nunes fought Paulie Malignaggi in MMA?

This experiment's been done.
It's one area where gender doesn't matter.
