So can Soccer Players make for good MMA fighters?

[capnlarge]

Canada is a weird place because we call it "soccer", I know my height in feet and my weight in pounds but if you give me the temperature in Fahrenheit, I have no idea what you're talking about

No soccer and MMA are two different things. Just because you can kick a ball far into a goal doesn't mean you're able to have good MMA kicks and punches with good power and form. They just aren't the same and playing soccer won't really help you with that except cardio wise. IMO

Serious answer?

What makes you say that?

Football has a reputation of people rolling on the floor, but it's still a physical game reliant on exceptional athleticism.

Not every 'soccer' player is going to be make a good fighter, obviously, but some certainly would!

There are some real meatheads that play soccer.
