i dont think ufc guys are good at punching and kicking, its more the wrestling they are usually good at imo. and they have to learn boxing.
You have horrible prerequisite's for being an athlete. Surgeons should be athletes to then or maybe airline pilots.putting gymnasts at B level is a joke.
they are specialized but olympic gymnasts are A+ level athletes.
and F1 drivers and even NASCAR are athletes too. i didnt think so for a long time but the reaction time, precision, hand eye coordination and mental fatigue makes at least F1 drivers A level athletes.F1 drivers are some of the highest paid athletes in the world.
You've clearly never played hockey.
So
Levels
A+= NBA Players, you cant get higher than these guys. These guys have speed, can leap tall cars. And have smart IQ
A= NFL and Soccer Players. NFL guys are strong, fast and explosive. Soccer players are fast, endurance and agile.
B+= Hockey. these guys are tough gritty and can endure a long time.
B=Gymnast. These guys are strong, agile, versatile.
C= UFC fighter. These guys are good are punching and kicking.
C+=Nascar drivers. These guys are great at driving
D=Golfers. These guys are old and can play golf.

I havent, would it make any difference if I had? something being difficult doesnt mean it has the best athletes. Being big, strong, able to run fast and jump high is not of the same importance to a hockey player as it is to the other sports I mentioned.
Any particular reason you don't think hockey players do rigorous strength and conditioning training?
Look breh, I like hockey and think its a tough and highly skilled sport. But its utterly delusional to think they are going to be comparing well to athletes from football, rugby or wrestling in anything other than endurance. The average NFL linebacker or DE would be considered an absolute freak by hockey standards. Thats not a slight on hockey in any way, its still a tough game and possibly the most skilled team sport, but it is what it is.
Not one of the athletes from any of those sports would last through a full MMA workout.
Golfers,and NASCAR drivers lmfao......would gas as fast as the average person as their cardio isn't that great.
All the others NFL,NBA,NHL,SOCCER would last longer but would still gas as each of their cardio is good but they still get substitutes when they are tired during a game.
Mma fighters are A level athletes.
Like mentioned before if your at the top of your sport your an A level athelete......
Sorry but 'soccer' players easily have the cardio to last an MMA workout.
The majority of professional Football players, play for 90 minutes with only a 15 minute break at half time (45 minutes in). It's 45 minutes of action, 15 minutes break and then another 45. The sport is running orientated. As for substitutes, there are 11 players on each side and only 3 subs allowed per game. Most subs are made after the 60 minute mark, many times the teams don't use all 3 substitutes.
Speed, footwork, agility and cardio are so important. Put it like this, Yoel Romero is one of the best athletes in MMA, but he'd be fucking atrocious at Football. All of the top teams REQUIRE their players to run, run, run. As a center forward you're expected to make runs in behind the defense, to try make some space for yourself so your team mates can pass to you. In midfield you're expected to track runners, to at times 'press' (close down the opposition, aka, sprint at them and try win the ball back), to run with the ball to advance your team forward.
Different sports require different skill sets. As mentioned, Yoel Romero is clearly a great athlete...but at the same time, in Football he'd be fucking trash tier. His cardio and likely his footwork/nimbleness would be major, major faults. He's too heavy, too bulky and he would be dead on his feet after a few minutes. He couldn't handle it, the same applies to American Football players.
Though at the same time, needless to say most Football players would be awful at Basketball (most are simply too short) and American Football/Rugby (most are too slim, some of the bigger players could hypothetically make it aka be physically capable of it, if the skills/talent were there if they trained for more mass and took muscle gaining PEDs).
Apples and oranges. It's one of the reasons it's so hard to make 'tiers' or rankings.
Hockey players would adapt to rugby far, far better than football players too.
