Funny how an A level athlete can be this mediocre at fighting.

While Jon Jones sucks at every sport. But can fight.

Fighting isn’t playing.

He's actually a very unathletic fighter. I don't care what his background and sport stats are.

DAMMIT you got me, keyboard pal!

I'm going to bet (would bet a lot), that you stepping into an mma gym is an OCCURENCE that has never occurred.

Thank the lord you've got 50k posts on an mma forum.

It’s only 30k but that’s alright, you are pretty stupid.

Arguing that training your entire childhood for football would better prepare you for mixed martial arts than martial arts would sounds kinda fucking dumb to me. Just sayin.

Depends on the level JDS was training at....I would bet on football players good enough for major college programs much less the NFL being able to destroy guys that took casual TMA as kids... physicality matters A LOT unless you're talking about martial artists with a serious degree of skill.

i'm talking about what happened too. he got ktfo by a guy much smaller than him. yep, he's a much better boxer than Hardy, but whose fault is that? he signed up for the fight because he thought he could win. are you Greg Hardy's dad? brother? lover? because you seem awfully offended about nothing. never once did i bring up his sexual assault, but others in this thread have yet you're not climbing up their ass about that. why is that? sounds like you got a personal gripe with me.

he also got ktfo by Tai Tuivasa, is that imaginary? is Tai Tuivasa a world class boxer? if you got ktfo by Tai Tuivasa would you sign up to fight a world class cruiserweight? is everything ok at home? i don't give a shit about what he did outside of his fighting career, he's an idiot for signing up to fight this guy, he's an idiot for signing up for boxing period and you're over here trying to act like i'm living in an imaginary fairy tale? my brother in Christ, please seek help.

One you started the Brother lover comment I then in that moment understood you view sports through a lens of homosexuality and I want you to enjoy that peter son. Personally I think Herdy got thrown to the wolves early from the day he started mma and boxing. He was never terrible at either just too old to start where he did. This is why his record is what it is and he probably is about washed anyways

I still haven't really seen him truly sparked out, like stiff and all. He always kinda slumps over like he still has a little bit of consciousness left.

This is why I wish he was still in the UFC. This doesn't sit right with me. It's almost as if he gives up. I want Just Bleed out Stiff.

outside of a series of other character flaws, greg hardy just isn't very bright. dude does not learn lessons very well. you're not a great fighter, you're definitely not a great boxer. stop getting KOed and go find something else to do.

He was working at walmart for awhile.

NFL player with 6 months of training is a myth.

They've just moved the goalposts now. It used to be that whoever it was could literally switch sports and start training at 30 and dominate in a year. Now even training at like 25 isn't good enough, has to be from childhood, which is convenient because now it can never be disproven.

Royce White from the NBA and Hardy were both in their 20s. Royce trained for two years and lost to literally some random short fat guy in a small MMA promotion.

But then the goalpost became "yeah but those guys weren't the absolute best players in the entire league"....which makes no sense really because they are still better at football/basketball than 99.99999999% of the planet and should still be shockingly athleticlally superior to just about any MMA fighter.

So now the newest goalpost is that, in some theoretical alternate universe, if those guys only focused all their attention on MMA from childhood and not any other sport, they would dominate. But clearly that could never be proven, because if they DID do that, then people would say they weren't athletic enough to play football or basketball, thus aren't A-level athletes.

To me the funniest aspect is pretending that A-level athletes don't exist in the rest of the world because they culturally don't play American football. So like Ngannou growing up in Africa or JDS in Brazil can't possibly be NFL level athletes because they aren't American.

Ngannou and Gane started fighting deep into their 20s. They're the true A level athletes.
