"A Level Athletes"

[Bend NvR Break]

read the WWE threads and many others. People have claimed many times that guys like Lebron James, Chandler Jones, JJ.Watt, Undertaker even ronaldo can defeat the HW division with 3 months training.

[QUOTE="Gspiele] Stu Hart: legit tough, legit shoot wrestling/sub skills, athletic, hw. Would probably be top 10 in the UFC today, with zero mma training.

[/QUOTE]
These people are fans of athletic soap opera. Why take anything they say seriously?

 

[Zomax]

JJ Watt or LeBron Jerms could be UFC HW champ with 2 weeks of TKD classes and watching a tape of UFC 1.

Neither one would be a top 20 Junior College wrestler at their weight in an MMA match.

Why would they even bother...? They make in a single year what all UFC fighter combined will make in their carer...

 

[Hi-Tech]

Fuck NFL, NBA, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. This is the most dominant and the most impressive elite A-level athlete I've seen in my lifetime

Would probably be the dirtiest fighter ever if he tried MMA though.

Just yesterday Sherdog had a 6 page thread that a pro-boxer would not adjust well to MMA even with a few years of training grappling unless they have trained grappling since their adolescence.

Now Sherdog is telling me A-level football players can close the gap with a few months or less than 2 years of training?

Thats because boxers are B-level athletes. Not quite A-level so their transition can't be guaranteed.

NFL&NBA = A
Boxing, soccer, hockey = B
baseball = C
MMA and Crossfit = D

 

[OldBoy91]

The WWE fanboys have been out in force lately and are annoying as fuck.

[chubbman]

A level athletes, the guy in yellow is Raphael Silva at 370 pound bodyweight, Teddy Riner at his left side is 310. None of these guys are below 300 pounds...

because fat judokas are killing it in mma

 

[Mochan]

I don't think anyone considers WWE guys A-level athletes...

I don't think anyone considers them athletes, period.

 

[TheScorpionDude]

Biased Ref who allowed Sapp to cheat. If Ernesto was allowed to bring a knife into the ring and he won via spilling Sapps blood on the floor would you count that as a win aswell?

How did he cheat ? Even though i posted the vid. i havent seen the fights in a while.

 

[AndrewGolota48]

The irony is that the 3 best NFL players (excluding Walker because those were hand picked squash matches) to ever compete in MMA all got KOd by guys with just as little experience who had "average joe" athletic backgrounds.

Two of those fighters were not even top 300 in their division and the third was Travis Browne who literally just started to train martial arts whereas his first round pick NFL player opponent had been training for years.

I may need to make a thread on this with video evidence. You have to be dumb at this point to believe the A level athlete thing because all evidence states otherwise. It shows NFL players can not only lose to the top notch fighters but can be KOd by local toughman level bar brawlers with similar levels of training.

 

[Mochan]

Fighters =/= Athletes

MMA needs fighters not athletes.

Hit after the bell ect.

Tired of all this bullshit talk about supposed "A level Athletes" from NFL,NBA or WWE being able to come over and smash the UFC HW Roster with no training as UFC fighters are weak couch potatoes . They use Brock Lesnar as evidence for this but they ignore that:
A) Brock lesnar has a wrestling pedigree that 95% of WWE guys and NFL guys lack.
B) Has years of MMA training and experience that WWE guys lack
C) Was a better athlete than the majority of WWE and NFL guys, when i say athlete I don't mean he did better in football or had better game skills I mean he put up numbers that puts most to shame. How many Defensive tackles run a 40 yard dash in less than 4.7 secounds, have a 35 inch vertical, standing long jump 10 feet and bench press 600 pounds?

With all that he did reasonably well against washed up fighters but as soon as he faced a top tier opponent, he was exposed and destroyed. Also the hardest opponent for these "athletic freaks" would be USADA and just as Lesnar was they would be impaled to the wall or shrivel up into nothingness.

Another Athletic Freak in MMA who would defeat 99% of WWE,NFL,NBA guys is Bob sapp.
320 pounds shredded while the majority of NFL guys at the same weight look like corndog munchers also ran a 40 yard dash in 4.8 secounds. Sapp then bulked to 350 pounds while still being leaner than the average Defensive lineman actually trained for MMA and his best accomplishment in the sport was almost beating big nog. Then he lost to every noname fighter he fought, miserably.

Sapp sucks but he still would crush any human who doesn't train.

Now you listen here TS, and you listen good: if Cristiano fucking Ronaldo trained UFC for a mere 6 months we'd have a new welterweight champion and GOAT. That's a real A level athlete and unfortunately we will never see his breed in MMA because of the money. You're just gonna have to accept my infallible word. Deal with it

Neither one would be a top 20 Junior College wrestler at their weight in an MMA match.
