UFC fighters that would have excelled at NFL

If any UFC fighter played in an NFL game AS IS, they'd get murdered.
But if they had played football and chosen football as their sport rather than training MMA, there are many fighters that could have excelled.

Kevin Randleman as a middle linebacker?
Kevin Holland as a wide receiver?
Kevin Lee as a running back?
Kevin other black person as another football position?
 
That list is fucking ridiculous, ironic, and also hilarious at the same time. The only one on that list that would work hard enough to even try to make that change would be GSP, and he's basically the smallest one on the list. The NFL is literally the best of the best, and a league full of athletic freaks.

He's really the only one disciplined enough to do it. He's at best a punter/kicker, or one very small WR. He's smart enough to learn the sport, and he's a specimen when it comes to training and pushing himself. I don't think he could do it, it would be one hell of a longshot, but if there's one who has the best chance, it's probably him.

Romero and Randleman were the first two to immediately come to mind. Had Romero been introduced to American Football young like those Midwest farm boys, and saw the money down that road... can't help but wonder. Explosive raw power but maybe their hand/eye is dogshit at 15 yards or better.

Silva had some remarkable qualities that would have translated well to a QB or WR (if he can run). Calm under pressure, ability to read opponents, his timing and precision were lethal when he wanted to be.

If Jones never skipped leg day? I could definitely see him turning out like Randall Cunningham. Tall scrambler that's not too terrified to take a hit.

Khabib as a 5'10, sub 200 pound LB in the NFL lolololol.

That list is ass. The only two I think remotely have the physical qualities to have even been in the conversation are Cain and Francis, and it would have taken both playing at a high level from a much younger age.

What's troubling, there are enough dumb shits in this world who will just blindly trust whatever AI says, bc "It's AI!" And it is obvious that it has a very long ways to go lmao. But bc it is in the state it is currently in, dumb people are going to get bad answers and become even dumber. Example as to why it's important to actually learn stuff, something that the youngsters don't seem to care about anymore. Calculators can't even solve 7th grade math equations correctly, and common response from the younger gens is, "Who cares, I've got a calculator." Humanity is doomed.
 
Only Jon Jones, Marcus Jones and Brock Lesnar would have a chances.
There literally isn't any athletic talent in higher divisions. Like none, zero.
Anybody who can compete in sports, goes to compete in sports. In MMA are the ones left.

I mean, could you even imagine to be in NBA, let alone champion, alcoholic up to 21, who then picks up the sport?

I think some fat HWs could be OL.
Probably the only ones who would have a chance, they'll be able to play only a few snaps though

Totally agree, we need to stop trying to phase humans out, and its all gonna be AI, totally soulless, nothing, its a glimpse of the future. I know how its going, self service checkouts, AI answering everything, where will it end.......

I was enquiring about some train tickets a few months ago, I was looking into going on this beautiful coastal train, and all I got was AI, you can't speak to a real human, chat bot this, chat bot that, when you call its AI telling you to press numbers, nothing makes sense and its not answering what I need to know, where is the actual human being I can ask.

I used this coastal train for my vacation in 2002 and 2005 and it was so simple, lovely family run business and it took less than 5 minutes on the phone and they helped me with everything. Now everything has changed, AI doesn't understand
