How would Kevin Durant do in the UFC?

[Ken Fresno]

How would stephan struve do in NBA?

This guy brings up a good point. Since it's equally as difficult to be a top 15 UFC Heavyweight as it is to be the MVP of the NBA.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Guy gets injured every year from basketball. He'd probably break a shin from heavy bag practice let alone be healthy enough to fight.

 

[Tephlon]

Terrible. He has no heart. He'd get knocked out, leave his camp and join the camp of the guy who knocked him out

 

[skysolo]

Why would he even want to? He would make 20% of the money and 100% more brain damage.

 

[MCS]

Poorly, not strong or explosive enough. James Johnson is a tank who trains UFC tho.

 

[CasterMard]

Here's an interesting video about how much talent these guys posses.

 

[RyanMctWrestler]

Terrible. He couldn't even bench 185 lbs one time when he was coming into the NBA. Since there is a direct correlation between the amount someone bench press and their fighting ability, its safe to say he'd get creamed

Here you can see him easily lifting 315 though. In fact, given how easily he lifted it, I would say he's stronger than Brock Lesnar now.

 

[Andrusz]

How would anyone take him down?

Exhaustion.

 

[grimballer]

Average NBA player would be champ with 2 weeks of training

Elite NBA players could do it after watching few videos on YouTube

 

[UkraineFreightTrain]

He would be like the Steph Curry of the UFC

 

[Organic Damage]

About as good as Roy Nelson would do in the NBA.

I've seen Nelson dunk a basketball.

I haven't seen Durant sub anybody lately.

Wait, have you really seen Nelson dunk? Because that would be impressive!

Well not with my own eyes, but he can: http://www.espn.com/extra/mma/columns/story?id=6583779

Ouch they would beastmode the entire roster of The UFC

 

[RafaelDosSantos]

He'd leave the UFC to join Bellator eventually

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

Durant might not do particularly well but quite a few basketball players could. They have ridiculous height/reach and for HWs their footwork is next level.

 

[tru3f4n]

He'd get jealous of Stipe and leave

Do u have a reading disability?

 

[DaPunkMinowaMan]

He punkd the mascot the other day and talked trash to Rudy Gobert....

This had me thinking of how he would do in the octagon? Could he be a LHW and HW CHAMPION simultaneously?
