It stupid as fuck to think that no person in major sports couldn't be UFC champ if they choose otherwise, or hell with a few years training (look at Ngannou). Every time this topic comes up, you got the stupid shertards who thinks no pro sport player could ever become a fighter. Like the only people who can be a fighter, are those who don't have the skills to make it in these other sports making millions of dollars. So yes I'm making fun of those stupidos and their stupid logic.
And then you double down on this stupid take by saying that Lebron couldn't ever be a good fighter. LMAO Lebron would whoop your fuckin ass with the ease, I'm 100% sure of that. Not to mention that if Lebron chose to go MMA out of high school instead of making millions immediately in the NBA, he absolutely could have been a great fighter. But generally speaking, those who make it as a pro, usually are bigger, stronger, and faster than those who couldn't. So physically, these pro's have a better starting base than the others. Thats why the MW-HW divisions are so weak bc most of those big men are making millions in other sports instead of the peanuts with the UFC.
And to further prove my point, look who knocked the fuck out of Fedor, who is considered the HW goat. A fuckin washed out NFLer with minimum training. Ok, don't think Fedor is the goat, well look at Stipe who couldn't hack it in MLB (college baseballer). Plenty examples across the board like this. So to think that pro sport players couldn't be great fighters is such a retarded take.
