The talent pool for most other sports is enormous compared to MMA. As a result, the average athletes that start on an NFL or NBA team are superior, freakish athletes. There's definitely a few of them in MMA, I think GSP, Jacare Souza, Chris Weidman, and Edson Barboza could be proficient in any sport you put them in. For some other UFC fighters, not so much.
How long have you been waiting to use that line?
Anyways back to the topic, I don't think the athleticism gap is as big as people like to make it. And different sports require a different type of athleticism.
I would put some athletes like Edson Barboza, Anthony Pettis, or Hector Lombard at or above a lot of guys in other sports.
Can any MMa fighter jump 4 feet in the air and dunk a basketball? 6'4" Jon Jones couldn't.
Come to your own conclusions.
this looks more like 10 feet to me
as for the rest of your post, select one of your majestic unicorn basketball players and see how they get on with this
just because they dont have "drop me on my head" in the olympics doesnt mean its not a legit...aw hell naw whatever
