The GOAT basketball player, mixed martial artist and athlete shows how it's done.

The existence of Michael Chandler and Roy Nelson proves that being more athletic does not equal being a better fighter.

Jones in his prime 210-216 Gustafsson weighted more DC did Rampage did Glover,Bader,OSP all weighted more than him he weighted similar with Shogun,Vitor, Evans he weighted more than Machida and Chael thats it

 

[USA!USA!]

To be fair to Jones, he started way too close to the hoop.. Gane started further out.. although Gane certainly does seem to be more explosive athletically.

JFC this again?

We knew that since UFC 1 lol
Some of the best fighters, like Khabib, Floyd, etc can't even do a backflip or a spinning wheel kick, and there's soft kids who do freerunning who can do 720 spinning shit and would do horribly in a real fight

Leaping ability is just one facet of athleticism, btw.

^ this x1000. There seems to be this weird idea that athleticism is only measured by explosive strength on Sherdog and all other areas are not important. Cardio is spoken about as a separate attribute to athleticism which is just weird.

 

[Th3Sav4ge]

what about being athletic in different ways?

Big Facts. The Jones haters love to exaggerate when it comes to Jones size. For example, Gus is bigger than Jones, but they never say Gus has a size advantage over his opponents. The size advantage only applies to Jones lol. Any person with a brain knows they just use that as an excuse to discredit Jones wins. Typical dumb shertards.

You just need to center your taichi and be in a mental state of athleticism, then you and Tom Brady are equals when applying judo throws.

 

[SmoothPies]

How high you can jump = overall athletic ability. Got it
