It’s so funny seeing all you nerds trying to discredit NFL players. In pure athleticism, nothing holds up against the NFL. Also, pretty damn impressive that Hardy had never trained any martial art in his entire life and 2 years later he’s competing at a high level at the highest level of fighting on the planet. Never mind the guys he’s fighting have been wrestling since they got out of the womb. I would love to see a cornerback or a safety come in and just tear it up. It’s only a matter of time.
Here’s another thing to think about: do you know why wrestlers do so well in mma? Let me guess, it’s because wrestling is SOOO important in modern mma? Wrong. Ask anyone who understand wrestling and they’ll tell you the level of wrestling (and grappling in general, barring a few specialists) is fairly low. Nothing you can’t lesrn in a year, probably less. Of course, none of you dorks could execute on these moves in a fight because they require an extremely high degree of athleticism to do effectively against a talented, resisting opponent. And that gets us to our answer. The reason wrestlers dominate is because they’re absolutely fantastic athletes. Sure, their experience with weight cutting and rounds definitely helps. However, the primary reason they dominate is because they’re light years ahead of everyone else WRT athleticism. Their explosiveness, quickness, balance — it’s all on another level...just like football players.
