So much talk about meatheads like Romero, Ngannou and Hoodley being A-Level, when they are no more than muscle-bound donkeys who gas in 10 minutes. Same goes for AJ in boxing (look at Klitschko fight for reference. Gassed himself in the 5th after trying desperately to finish him, ended up almost getting finished himself in the 6th. LOL).
UFC’s real A-Level athletes:
At HW, there’s no one really impressive athletically. One of the reasons I can’t stand those bums.
LHW has many candidates, but the real deal has to be Daniel Cormier (ragdolls LHWs and HWs with next to no effort. Unlimited gas tank, never seen him gas. Unrivaled physical culture, evidenced by having learnt excellent boxing, despite being a wrassler).
At MW, Luke Cockhold is a specimen (tall, powerful, flexible, well-conditioned. His stand up is troubling, but his ground game and way he crushes guys on the ground show his physical superiority to anyone at MW).
WW has the GOAT - GSP (yes, he gassed at MW. However, putting on that much weight and ring rust will do that. At 170 in his prime... oh boy. Huge power and explosiveness, rivaling Hoodley... except he won’t gas no matter how intense it gets in there. Not to mention flexibility and movement culture thanks to gymnastics.
LW is competitive, but I’d say the guys who share first place are Tony Ferguson and Kebab (Kebab is a bum and fragile af, but he always overpowers and outlasts guys on the ground. Ferguson has no stop button and is athletically very gifted).
135-145 has Team Alpha Manlet (don't mind the jargon. Nothing but respect towards the TAM guys Chad, Cody, TJ, Urijah. Amazing athleticism on show there, especially the former three. Strong, resilient, huge gas tank. Just look at Cody’s gym footage. On pads, he’s faster and crisper than many pro boxers; on the mat, he moves like a BJJ black belt.
125 is obvious...
List any others guys!
