If Zion Williamson trained MMA...

[Streeter]

Starting right now .......how long before he is GOAT GOAT? 6'6. 270 to 280lbs , mostly muscle. Even with the weight has freakish athletic ability like Lebron.. he is currently 19 years old.

No chance anyone fight over making much more playing basketball ........ but........ we talk about those A level athletes n this guy is at the top tier there n is still very young. How before he would over take Fedor as HW goat or even GSP/Bones as GOAT GOAT?

 

[CBohl]

We already have the GOAT Greg Hardy.

 

[wufabufa]

Wasteland this shit

 

[Kingz]

Probably couldn’t take a punch

 

[JKS]

Never gonna happen. Basketball players aren't fighters.

Can he take a punch? How is his cardio? Doesn’t he have bad knees already?

 

[H20]

People are quick to point out attribute and skills, but forget the main thing here. Is he a fighter? Could be a little bitch like Lebron too.

 

[Tsar]

He'd posterize Stipe with his mma dunks for sure. nuts to the face and right to the rim, shattering the backboard like vintage Shaq. I'd pay to see that. Just build a cage around a basketball floor and watch stipe try to use footwork to corner the big man. not gonna happen. i bet Stipe can't even dribble to ball down the court.

 

[zxyss25]

Hed probably be able to jump very high over kicks and to avoid take downs, but would still get knocked out

Thanks for posting a picture of Zion.

He's not much taller than Francis Ngannou (198cm to 193-195cm) and has a shorter reach (208cm to 211cm) as well.

I don't know what makes you think this guy is that much more talented than Ngannou, apart from the fact that Williamson is super young.

Those are some skinny ass legs, dude! At his height with legs that small I'd be worried about every opponent wrecking his knees with low/oblique kicks.

I'd say his legs are average for an athlete - certainly not like the ones of Jones though, haha.

I bet you have never heard of Zion.

He makes D1 basketball player Wilder look like a noob and that guy is probably the most gifted HW combat atlethe of all time.

Imagin eating a flying knee from Zion. That guy makes Romero flying knee look like a manlet.

I could say the same thing about Ngannou flying kneeing someone.

Also, how can you be sure he's the most gifted HW combat athlete of all time, when the guy has most likely never even touched a heavy bag?

Haha. True, but Jones's legs aren't carrying around 300lbs of mass with every step. Imagine someone throwing a leg kick at Zion and buckling his knee, bringing all that weight sheering down on his ACL... Plus, isn't he already known for having injury prone knees...? I thought he missed the first half of the season (his ROOKIE year) with a knee injury?

Well yeah, Jones is of course much lighter, hehe. (Although Zion wouldn't be 300lbs inside the cage either).

Yeah, i've heard of that injury. IIRC, they've ironically gave him instructions to build muscle and now he's even heavier...

He's huge, but he's too heavy for his own good!

Haha. Yeah, it's gotta be terrifying seeing that absolute TANK of a kid bearing down on you on the court, but at his size you've gotta be at least a little concerned about his career longevity.

He would get Zulu’ed
