Also capable of doing a shooting star press, which is incredible for someone that size, and also held WWE titles multiple times. The man has credentials.Anddddd here comes the hype. If he got KO'd, he'd be a candidate for biggest hype train derailed of the year.
Brock Lesnar was a national champion wrestler, won the UFC HW title, and made it to the last cut on the Minnesota Vikings despite not playing college football which is unthinkable.
He is a WAY better athlete than Aspinall and it's not even close
Jones can’t dunk? He’s like 6’4 with ridiculously long arms, he’d only need to jump like 6”Ehhh. I mean rating athleticism is hard. LeBron James is athletic but I bet he can't fight. Jon Jones can't dunk a basketball but Gane can.
Yea, Brock was an athlete. But not very athletic in terms of cardio, striking and head movement--all areas Tom Aspinall easily surpasses him.
Somebody embed the videos of Jones trying to dunk vs Gane actually dunking.Jones can’t dunk? He’s like 6’4 with ridiculously long arms, he’d only need to jump like 6”
Never seen the video, just seems like his arms are so damn long he’d barely have to jump… not that dunking really proves anything or has anything to do with mmaSomebody embed the videos of Jones trying to dunk vs Gane actually dunking.
Also, was Chuck Liddell athletic? He was a good champion that couldn't even walk straight?
Is Gordon Ryan athletic? I bet he could do damage in MMA with two years of striking.
Indeed, the most insane physical abilities we've ever seen in the whole universe, hence why this happened :
Too bad he hadn't activated his power rangers knees yet.

He could've stayed in the NFL too but the motorcycle accident he got into ruined his chances to stay in the NFL due to the injuries.There is a reason literally everyone else in the thread is telling you you’re wrong. Be an adult and admit you were mistaken.
I dislike Brock Lesnar as much as the next guy but to say he wasn’t an athletic freak is simply ignorant. The guy was close to making an NFL team despite never having played.
The following are his combine test numbers at 6’3, 300lbs: 40-yard dash in 4.7 seconds, Vertical jump: 35 inches, Broad jump: 10 feet, and 225 lb bench press: 30 reps…
That is big time. Case closed.
Not talking about his skills, his athleticism alone. The dude is 6'5 260 lbs and is probably the fastest HW ever. And unlike Gane, he has great power in his hands. He's a pure destructive force, no heavyweights he fought could deal with his power, speed, and explosiveness.
The only one who I would probably put above Tom is Brock.
Francis is a good contender too, he's a little bit more powerful/stronger but he doesn't have the speed and dexterity of Aspinall.
There have been monsters, but mostly pre-USADA era.nah, there's been some absolute animals that came through MMA, especially at HW because a lot of the time physicality and raw athleticism matters a lot more in HW division than other divisions.

Brock, Ubereem, prime Arlovski, prime JDS.
I am scoffing when people call 35 year old HWs like Overeem and JDS past their prime. They are past something for sure.
Yes same guy who knocked down and arguably beat Tyson in his own sport.A guy who’s 0-1 in Boxing who got outboxed by Black Beast?
Pipe that nonsense down.

Ya know, before Travis Browne sucked, his movement was impressive. Pre bigfoot fight
