I dont think he would have any real success. His striking wouldnt even be the best in MMA. Anderson Silva, Lyoto Machida, and a healthy Maurico Rua are better stand-up fighters than Haye and i wouldnt be at all suprised if guys like Chuck Liddell, Forrest Griffin, Wanderlei Silva or Quinton Jackson dominate David Haye in a standing MMA fight. Alot of defensive boxing tatics are usless or hazardous in MMA. Like the bobing and weaving. Alessio Sakara an Italian boxing champ did that in a UFC fight and he got KOed.
All they would do his have him fight boxers in MMA style fights where he would easily then they would make him fight guys that are pretty good like Forrest Griffin. I think Forrest would dominate David Haye and win by 1st round tko.
