LeBron in MMA would be worse than CM Punk

[I am the Walrus]

I would take the average NBA player over just about any stupid karate instructor in the world

 

[King in the North]

No, I’m pretty sure he would be at minimum slightly better that CM Punk. Jesus.

 

[Krixes]

Lebron couldn't pass USADA, he'd cry if he was actually punched.

 

[A.S. Deep]

If LeBron were to get into MMA at any time in his career, he would get annihilated. Sure, he was a football athlete during his high school years and there’s been fighters like Herschell Walker that did good in MMA. Did Herschell prove himself at a higher level? And how were the drug tests at the time?

LeBron is a basketball player and basketball players can’t fight period. Take a look at Shaq, the most dominant force in the NBA of all time. He couldn’t throw a proper punch and was taken down by Barkley.

Colby vs Lebron in an MMA fight would look like Royce Gracie introducing the world to BJJ all over again but worse. To people saying Lebron has a chance is just based on his athleticism and a possible flying knee KO from his crazy leaping abilities.

I remember a guy once told me his karate instructor told him playing basketball and learning martial arts do not mix. That is because all that jumping and stress to the knees will not form a proper kick.

Lebron’s chances:

No one looks worse than CM Punk lol

Theres actually a good nba guy that’s coming to mma soon. Was a good player but had a wierd fear of flying so it got in way of his career.

Hes called Royce White 29 and hes 6”8. Hoping he debuts in Dana whites contender series soon. Hes been training with Brocks old coach for a while now I think

Your stupid







is the highest of all the stupid






no other stupid is as high as your stupid

Heres a good read on the nba guy transition to mma

His biggest issue is he tends to gas. He's gassed/cramped up before in playoff games.
All that muscle and his cardio is actually suspect if he has to go balls out for 5 straight minutes.

Same reason he would suck at soccer.

So you're saying he should take less "roids/TRT and more EPO?

Exactly. Anyone who thinks different knows nothing about MMA.

Fans of D level sport reduced to imaginary matchups.

 

[Prince Nephilim]

Lebron would flying knee KO Colby

This is a foolish post! A WWE bum will never be better than an extremely high level athlete

 

[SmilinDesperado]

A guy posts in this thread a gif of Ron Artest punching a fan straight in the face and you still post this. Now we’ve got to the point where Colby couldn’t even take a punch from Lebron? He doesn’t even need to know how to punch to hurt Colby? This is so weird.

????
I didn't put any percentages or guarantees on anything.
Ron Artest punching someone and not shattering their face instantly doesn't mean that all NBA players are weak betas. Who knows how hard he really hit him, how well it landed, or how good the guys chin was.

My point is that when you are as big as Lebron the potential to do damage is there, even if you aren't trained. I've trained with much bigger guys with little experience, and while I generally work them pretty easily, I also know that if they landed, they could hurt me.
Lebron is huge, athletic, and there is a lot of explosive training that goes into basketball. He could most definitely land a sloppy strike that could floor a smaller guy.

LeBeijing Jimmie wouldn’t do shit in MMA.

Recent Nba is full of bitches.

 

[Travis Alexander]

Kermit Washington would have been champ with 3 weeks training..

Didn’t he permanently lose vision in his eye from that punch?

Lebron’s chances:

fighting is natural talent and hard work, can Lebron be a prodigy? nobody knows he chose basketball.

this guy was a mediocre Baiseball player, but in MMA he is champion.

James received a perfect body for fights,this is great.

with proper training, he can be a scary fighter.

I can't imagine in a million years that Shaq could make 265 lbs, he would have a tough time making 300.

I think the weight limit in the UFC is ridiculous, a useless rule.

Kermit Washington would have been champ with 3 weeks training..

there are guys who have never trained in life, who have a scary punch.

fighting is a mystery, some guys have this natural fire inside them.

 

[MMA Maine-iac]

Can you imagine Lebron being approached by Dana saying, "Listen, kid. We'll set you up with 500k to show, 500k to win."

 

[Bearknuckle]

Lebron doesn’t have a chin, ive seen him get dropped by a screen from JJ Barea

 

[Bearknuckle]

I would take the average NBA player over just about any stupid karate instructor in the world

What about Wonderboys dad, he runs a karate school. What about prime lyotos dad lol. Pretty sure those guys would fuck up the average nba runner/jumper guy who has never been punched before.

 

[Xoleth]

Nobody would be worse than CM Punk

Stephen A Smith disagrees with you
