Jumping attacks

Jumping attacks are kind of lame as is. Flying knee is the exception.

Jump kicks, jump punches, and jump slams / throws are hardly ever used, they're just too slow, and fighters don't jump high enough (Jon Jones trying to dunk, for example. Bonus points for posting it below).

Now imagine, NBA caliber a level athletes like LeBron transition to the UFC. Jump kicks and punches are suddenly back in style.

Imagine LeBron or Dwight Howard jumping like 4 feet into the air and landing with a vicious elbow.

They could even jump so high that no fighters could reach them, making them near invincible if they kept spamming jump attacks.

I can't even imagine any counters to this. It's kind of insane. I mean, it requires a level height and athleticism, but it can be pulled off so that these fighters never lose, or even take a blow.

It would be an insta-win for the jump talent.

Thoughts ?
What do you think of a washed up LW doing this to a top WW?

Ghost of Tyson vs the ghost of RJJ will probably have better technique in it than any UFC fight this weekend, the concept of flying attacks makes me cringe
 
Jumping attacks are fucking swell, but the more someone spams them, the less effective they are.

Having the ups that basketball requires could definitely be weaponized if times right. But even Michel had to reign in the Michel approach lol.

I would emphasize trying to replicate Yoels knee on The Chris.
You don't necessarily need crazy ups if you can time the takedown attempt with the knee.
 
leaping attacks are basically the opposite of lame. They are enjoyed,and often requested.

also fuck lebron and howard. Who in the top 10 did they ever beat?
 
Unbelievably lame thread. However, I would like to see a massive, vertical-jump axe-kick land.
 
It is a matter of physics. If a guy is planted on the ground and counters a jumping attack, he will hit you way way way harder than you hit him

I feel sorry for myself posting here but... I think the TS does not know much about any kind of physics. Wtf.
