"Matt "Dr Strange" Riddle. This guy fights in another dimension. Here he is simultaneously fighting in the present and sparring with a ghost that was haunting the cage."

LOL C level sport with its C/D level athletes. LMAO

Unprecedented Mic skills

Young Brock especially was a freak, add in his combine numbers.

Funny thing is that Brock is a tremendous athlete by most standards held on here.

Brock is a solid B+ athlete even by NFL standards

But he came into MMA way too late and never developed the ability to absorb strikes

It is what it is. Prime Brock who trained MMA full time would be HW champ for 10 years.

If his reported combine numbers are true he's a solid A by NFL standards. They were JJ Watt level and he's a DE while Brock was a DT (typically less athletic).

Okay sure.

But his body was wrecked by the time he got into MMA
Also way too old to develop striking and striking defense
Also had diverticulitis
If Brock started training MMA in his teens and transitioned in his early 20s he would be UFC HW champ for 10 years and basically GOAT

Yah he got run over by a minivan.

I agree if he started earlier in MMA he would've been dominant.

Brock didn't seem to have the instinct, despite his raw athleticism. That's a lot to ask from a guy that never even played college ball though. Same with MMA. Brock is a mystery as to what might have been in 2 sports had he transitioned earlier or made them his sole focus from a young age. Particularly MMA which would have been a natural transition for him post collegiate wrestling.

Football is way too strategic of a game for a simpleton like Brock to excel at at the highest level
His athleticism advantage is mostly nerfed in that sport unlike in wrestling, where he can, and did, dominate with size and athleticism. He was never the most skilled wrestler.
In NFL, he has to be smart and a team player, that was never going to work out for Brock
In MMA, the question would be, if he started in his teens, would he develop the ability to take punches?
And the answer, although not a guaranteed yes, is "probably". He would have found much greater success in MMA if he started 10 years earlier.
