Bernard Hopkins Changes Tune on MMA, Showers Fighters With Praise

[Jordan Diddy Buk]

PHILADELPHIA -- MMA Fighting spoke to boxing legend Bernard Hopkins on Wednesday about why he now likes and respects MMA fighters after once famously putting down the sport years ago. Hopkins also talked about whether he would ever try MMA, attending UFC 133 on Saturday night and his upcoming title defense against Chad Dawson.

B-Hop knows how to promote himself....& create controversy...."I would never let a white boy beat me..."

anyway MMA is a good sport....since I also love Martial Arts I also like MMA....

both sports can co exist...hating on MMA or hating on Boxing is dumb...hating on any combat sport is dumb!

I never believed PBF or B-Hop hated MMA but trashing the sport just creates more attention especially around big fights
