Who Came up with the MMA fan's athlete rating system?

[Breaking]

People so confidently and casually talk about "A Level athletes"... Who came up with that shit?

It sounds dumb.

 

[Kingz]

People who really have no reverence for MMA whatsoever and think any pansy from one of the ball leagues can do what these guys do....because they can jump higher or something.

 

[McGrubie]

I did

 

[joeyjoejoe]

Pretty sure that started in the dark ages. Nobody knew who anyone was so they figured their favorites from whatever sport could do better.

Nate Diaz is G as fuck

I feel like it some Rogan bullshit...

if one holds this as the standard for A-level athleticism, not even the most gifted HW fighter can approach C level.

 

[cgold21]

The fans?

you see "running and juking" but a more learned eye is awed at the display of force production and agility. Two attributes that will make him naturally dominant at most sports [aside from ones that require height].

He might have a glass chin though, or react poorly to being hit. Fighting is a different game. That's why you see pro athletes from other sport showing so much respect for fighters generally.

 

[gevoudane]

I believe he holds the record for most lost yards also. Very A level.

Are Olympic curlers A level?

 

[MustangSally]

By all logical reasoning the true A-level athletes are high level Heptathletes and Decathletes. They have to compete in events covering speed, endurance, power and agility... elite level competitors in other sports are a distant second at best
