Most Athletic Fighters in the UFC right now

[Fatback96]

Who are your picks for the most athletic fighters in the UFC right now?

I'm not talking about learned skills, or size that a fighter could use to their advantage.
I'm talking about true athleticism, the kind that can't be taught, something that the fighter has and was born with before actually learning any skills at all.

My picks are:

Yoel Romero

Jon Jones (I know he's not actually ranked in the UFC right now, but he's worth mentioning)

Jose Aldo

Chad Mendes (I know, he's not in the UFC either right now, but he'll be back soon)

Alex Oliveira

Henry Cejudo

John Dodson

Did I forget anybody? Tell me! (preferably with gifs

Cant believe you dont have DJ, he's like an A level athlete but he's also pocket sized.

He's athletic, but he wins more because he's more of an amazing technician.

Considering manlets athletic should be a bannable offence.

GSP. Learned wrestling as a mma fighter and decisively beat most NCAA all-americans in that aspect of the game.

Anderson's striking accuracy and reflexes are second to none. It makes it more astonishing that he was not a power puncher in the traditional sense.

 

[Judoka1532]

In on particular order

Ngannou, Velaquez, Mark Hunt (yes I think he's an incredible athlete for his size)Cormier, Jones, Gustafsson, Dominick Reyes (look this guy up he was a football player...great athleticism) Uriah hall, GSP, Romero, Whittaker,Barboza, Mcgregor, DJ, Dillashaw, Garbrandt, Aldo, Sean O'Malley

Women: Nunes, Shevchenko, Namajunas, Mcmann, Nina Ansaroff (this is kind of a darkhorse pick but I've watched her and she's pretty athletic)

Aldo vs Mendes - the most athletic fights of all time?

That fight don't get enough love. Cruz vs TJ was billed as the highest level of skill ever in the octagon, but to me, Mendes vs Aldo was right up there. Mendes just came around at the wrong time and in the wrong division, but otherwise, probably the best fighter to never win a title.

 

[Sonny Qc]

Hunt

 

[Egészségére!]

 

[DS66]

(For the first two minutes of a fight at least)

 

[mb23100]

Gotta be Sage

 

[Kertol]

No such thing as the word athletic although based off what ppl think it means the answer is GSP i guess

 

[Benoitthegr8]

If Ngannou was born in the US he’d likely be a DE on a pro football team making the real coin

 

[The GIF Poster]

(For the first two minutes of a fight at least)

Zabit looks super athletic

Size does not reflect athleticism.

You sound ignorant, or just a troll.

There can be only so many Muggsy Bogues, my friend.

I myself am a manlet and I embrace this concept.
