Why do MMA fans think 6'4 84" reach is GOAT genetics?

[superpunch]

Tons of sports have these guys dime-a-dozen. NFL wide receivers, NFL linebackers, NBA.. MMA gets one and your minds are all blown like he's some kind of superhuman.

 

[Leinster Rugby]

yeah but he was so much more than that.

he had these incredible performances. it was like they were more than mere performances, like they had almost been enhanced somehow.

 

[ryanrandy]

Well didnt you kinda answer your own question? "MMA gets one and your minds are all blown like he's some kind of superhuman" If you admit there is only 1 of them in mma wouldnt that be your answer?

 

[King.]

it's the combination with skill that does it. Struve has the same reach and is nearly 7 foot tall but can't put it together.

 

[91 seconds]

He had such amazing performances that only steroids could produce.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Combined with his eye-pokes, that reach made him a retina ruiner.

 

[Private Whatley]

he's 6'4 with a 7 foot wingspan. That's unusual in any sport.

It's goat genetics for mma

because he can cut to 205.....

realistically the vast majority of people with those dimensions would find it EXTREMELY difficult or impossible to make that weight cut.....but due to his super skinny legs.....JJ has the best dimensions for the LHW class....

 

[BigMuffler]

Because MMA has the most shallow and immature fanbase in sports, they're always thirsty to find the "ideal" something or other like little kids so even though other lanky guys like Overeem and Diabate have existed and didn't dominate LHW before, 1 lanky guy does it and they jump to call it the perfect build. Never mind that his YOUTH compared to say DC (and PED use) might be just as big or bigger a factor.

Because we don't get a lot of guys like that in MMA and if we do they just can't put it together like Jones. He could do it all poke a guy in the eyes,kick him in the knee and stick a needle in his own ass to make sure he was the stronger fighter lol.

 

[GordonMMARamsey]

Sherdog at this point thinks steroids gave him that reach.

Litmus test time.


How many MMAfighters are 6'4" with a 84" reach?

 

[Wanderlei Industries]

Yeah but unlike the other freaks he's willing to take the shitty pay. That's why we're impressed.

 

[Pied Piper]

he's 6'4 with a 7 foot wingspan. That's unusual in any sport.

James harden has those same stats.

Fun fact: steph curry and kyrie Irving are both 6,3" with a 6,0" wingspan. Inferior t rex arm genetics??

 

[Juice]

Because they have to blame it on something, they can't stand the fact that Jones is just that good.

Let me clear the air here, TS.

WE KNOW that the NBA and NFL have better athletes, because they pay more.
This has been stated so many times.

hes lazy as fuck.

 

[machidafan99]

I think 6'1 is ideal

 

[MyEnglishIsPeperoni]
