Kevin Holland is First A level Athlete in UFC

[D 1 Wrestler]

it just shows how bad basketball refs (or rigged the games are) that they make calls that they clearly don't even see.

No doubt, nba is the most easily rigged sport out there

You must've forgotten about Marcus Jones. He was a first round draft pick and played in the NFL for 7 years. Didn't work out too well for him fighting, but granted he was knocked out by other fellow A level football athletes in Matt Mitrione and Brendan Schaub

As far as level of athleticism (and football success), Marcus Jones was >>> over Schaub and Mitrione. Both were much betters fighters than he was though.

 

[D 1 Wrestler]

Well people are pretty much wrong about that. Is all I can say. He has alot of tangibles like high fight IQ and toughness that makes him great. And besides he can't dunk a basketball which means he is a C level athlete, right?

He is C level, he uses his physical attributes well and has good skills. But imagine jones with NBA length or NFL strength and explosion. He wouldn't be in MMA

Ya when was the last time a championship won by foul?

I can tell you the last time a championship game was decided by 3 points of less.

 

[KeyboardFighter]

Nah but most olympic wrestlers come fr those states. I'm half joking m8

Ahh ok your just exagerating for you own amusement, your posting makes alot more sense in that way.

How can you possible know how to rank him C level? On what criteria? For example how would you rank GSP as an athlete?

But that doesn’t answer my question and were talking about mma. Also so your saying a foul is required to win to win a championship in a level athlete sport.

GSP is a level with no a level sport alternative in Canada. He's C level because look at his brothers.

He couldn't cut it in ice hockey so what does that say about him and your assesment?

Ice hockey is a c level finesse/accessory control sport not for everyone. Similar to golf, tennis, lacrosse

Haha now you are joking right? Similar to tennis and golf... and what the hell is basketball then? It's not even a full on contact sport.

I love how dumb people on here are

36 when he debuted and only started two years prior.

Not all A-levels can take a punch...

36 years old, hasn't competed at the top level in 4 years, and fought somebody 13 years younger than himself that still has more experience boxing

 

[grimballer]

LOL @ those 3 sports being the standard of highest athleticism.

highest paid athletes who can jump high and run fast...

nothing athletic about that

 

[Post 2 Decision]

Exactly and you don’t understand a individual sport.

Incorrect.

 

[MigitAs]

That is some creepy shit lol I never saw that one live.

turns out its actuallly aussie rules players who convert and dominate nfl.

ben graham, severio rocca, yom hornsey, tom hackett, mitch wishnowsky, michael dickson and max duffy.

ben graham holds the record for oldest recruited in the nfl. if that doesnt scream A1 then nothing does.

Graham was a punter
Rocca was a punter
Hornsey was a punter, I don't think he ever played a regular season game
Hackett was a punter
Wishnowsky is a punter
Dickson - punter
Duffy - punter
Dominate? I understand if you're not a fan of the sport, I don't care for football either, but a punter doesn't dominate anything.

Don't forget Stipe was a washed out baseball player who couldn't even come close to hacking it in the MLB, but somehow became HW champ and UFC HW GOAT at that. LOL

Roy jones was a mediocre development league basketball player and a freakish boxer who would make any a-level basketball athlete look c-level or worse in a ring. Not all skills translate from sport to sport.

how are rugby players weaker than nfl players, where is the proof.

They don’t have the same need to be strong, so they are not as strong overall. Clearly. But it depends on position.
