The UFC needs A level athletes like this.

Nah jones couldn't keep up with them. Meaning had Arthur trained mma as long as jon he would still be whopping that ass
Being good at football doesn't necessarily make you an amazing fighter. In other words your football or basketball playing skills aren't a measuring stick on how well you would do in MMA or any combat sport for that matter
 
MMA hasn't reached its peak in athleticism yet. Imagine all the Lebron built guys in the world and now imagine if they had a passion for MMA. Would make a stacked LHW/HW division. Jon jones' is surrounded by a buncha football guys, imagine if he didn't like MMA. Could've easily been signed by the NFL.
Deontay Wilder had a passion for basketball/football but his daughter was born w/ a disorder and couldn't keep up good grades so ended up in boxing. Imagine had he not gone down that route.

Wilder has only fought bums and he is bigger a stronger than all the fat slobs he’s fought, but he is a wild brawler.
 
The top level athletes that would make the best fighters aren't even allowed to compete in the UFC. Imagine a guy like Shaq training MMA seriously. Yeah no ones beating him if the UFC allowed him to fight
 
Chad Mendes must be an S level athlete then. Let's see this Durant guy do push ups followed by back claps and a backflip. Football gets you buff, but being athletic is a whole different thing.

Hey guys, Kevin Durant plays football.
 
By TS standards UFC already had its first S level athlete - Tank Abbott

 
Phil Heath could be champ if someone would give him a chance
 
Vladamir Klitschko has no chin. He was HW champion for a while.

Klitschko took an uppercut from the depths of hell from AJ in the later rounds and still was only stopped by the Ref. You’re high
 
315 for a professional athlete really ain't that impressive even if this wasn't faked, especially one Kevin Durant's size. Although it is a bit harder due to the length of his arms, it's still very doable for pretty much anyone training a couple years or even less.

Also it's fake, making it even more unimpressive
 
Kevin Durant gets slept by Eric Prindle

Stop putting down the sport

We’ve already seen what happened to Bob Sapp

What Klitchko has is great defense. His chin was his weakness. It is pretty well known in the boxing community.

So taking a flush uppercut and staying up from one of the hardest hitters at HW, after circa 10 rounds of back and forth is weak?

It sounds like you just started watching Wladamir's fights. Try watching some of his older fights when he was constantly getting rocked by everyone. The fights before his defense was patched up by Emmanuel Steward. Like seriously, go watch his fights earlier in his career then come back and tell me he has a solid chin.

Was this prior to or post his ten years undefeated?
