UR Fight has lived up to the hype as one of the craziest, and fun shows in recent memory. The main event saw Roy Jones Jr. fight Vyron Phillips with just a few days worth of notice. For his part, Phillips, a part-time MMA fighter, had to defeat the legendary Roy Jones Jr. If he did, he’d get a sweet $100k. Needless to say, it didn’t go well.

Roy Jones respected his opponent’s choice to step up:
“I wouldn’t challenge Michael Jordan in 1-1 for $100K. That guy has an amazing heart to just try the feat. He went out and challenged the best. That’s a lot of heart.”
When asked if he would give someone else a chance, Roy Jones said he didn’t know if he’d fight another random fan or ever take another boxing match for that matter. Last December, Roy was viciously knocked out by Enzo Maccarinelli in Moscow, and many called for the former champ to hang up the gloves. But still, rumors persist that he might fight an Anderson Silva, and Rampage Jackson was ringside on the commentary mic saying he’d love to fight Roy Jones Jr. in a boxing match.
Who knows, anything can happen in UR Fight.
