What fighter who has not started MMA fighting to this day would you prefer seing in the UFC?
Who would have the best chance to succeed to championship material.
Please only active fighters who are not too old to make the transition.
Pride back then did cast some fighters like that right out of their specific martial art like Pavel Nastula.
These high level turnovers did get paid well from the beginning and were a welcomed breath of fresh air into mma. UFC could really profit doing that.
Please post a highlight video of your choosen fighter.
To me its really Rico Verhoeven
Height: 1,96m
weight: 258 lbs
reach: 77
Love his kickbox fighting style. He has the physical atributes much like Overeem. Even better in stand up minus the ground fighting skills.
With the right coaches Verhoeven imo could become champ at HW. He would demolish Ngannou or Stipe in straight stand up. Question would be how he would adapt to wrestling / ground fighting.
so, what are your picks for the possibly most successfull transfer into MMA from the world of boxing,judo,kickboxing,mt,karate, Wing Chun , BJJ, wrestling....etc. ?
