Rogan said that the heavyweight division is lucky that the dude who trade to trademark Taco Tuesday is a basketball player instead of an MMA fighter. After watching some video of Lebron playing basketball, I think Rogan might be right.

One skill that is rare in MMA is mastery of rolling with punches - being able to move so as to keep hits from actually doing any damage. Anderson Silva in his prime was a master of this. Jon Jones is also exceptional at it. In his entire career, he's only had a handful of punches land solidly on him.

But as rare as that skill is in MMA, Lebron James already has it, and he's never even had a pro fight. If he switched over to MMA, nobody would be able to touch him. Check out this next level stuff:

His ability to sense touch and use movement to avoid impact is Ido Portal-esque. This guy's defense is impregnable. I mean, seriously, nobody would be able to impregnate it.
 
Thats why they should make $500 a game. Middle school kids even play no foul

Now to find some gifs of him being carried out because someone touched his leg.

LMAO...he could probably win a lot of rounds 9-8 with those moves.
 
He doesn't even need to be taken down. He flops down to the mat himself.
 
So nice to see that diving (from soccer) has made it's way to the NBA. What an addition to such a great sport.

I never watch basketball, so no clue if it's a thing there.
 
I still don't know why these threads get made.

Athletes aren't going to go to a poor sport like mma.

They go to boxing if they want to fight.
 
Wait..... where does taco Tuesday come into play again?
 
LeBron is a giant with amazing athleticism, work ethic and literally anything you want in an athlete.. if he has any sort of toughness, he would do very well.


But he could admittedly tap after literally 1 punch - don't really know how he'd do in combat sports.
