First this is not a dig at either sport, I just really thought it would be the other way around as mma has alot of striking involved. It seems it is alot easier to transition into mma than boxing from the respective sport. Watching nate diaz vs jake paul today, I always assumed nate would do well in boxing but seeing him against someone who is not even a very good boxer has me confused.

Can someone who is more knowledgeable in both sports explain this to me?
