Both of them got KO'd by a true A level athlete
No, they were NFL drop outs that took adventage of the week MMA HW pool but they got exposed once they started to face better competition.

Did Karate as a kid. Not True!I think Matt Mitrione is quite possibly the best a-level athlete to ever make the transition into mma. He had zero combat sports background and yet still went straight into the ufc and did really well for himself until near the end of his career.
For being an NFL all star Hardy sure didn't look all that athletic. Slow, flat footed, and lumbering. I'd say in MMA Mitrione certainly was more athletic than Hardy. Better movement, faster, better foot work and better cardio. What makes someone a great athlete in NFL doesn't necessarily translate to MMA and other combat sports.No, they weren't athletic or explosive enough. Greg Hardy was an A level athlete though.
I would say Greg Hardy was a naturally gifted, explosive,freak athlete who was very well spoken while Matt Mitrione was a cerebral, blue collar, hardworking, thinking man’s fighter.No, they weren't athletic or explosive enough. Greg Hardy was an A level athlete though.
Bappa could kick the shit out of Tom BradyMitrione was a better athlete than Schaub and a much more natural fighter, Mitrione was very agile, coordinated and powerful, he also moved very well pretty light on his feet.
Mitrione was actually in the NFL too unlike Schaub who wasn't good enough to make the practice squad. Schaub was probably the stronger of the two though and his combine stats were decent but he seemed a bit uncoordinated.
I beg the differ. Heard it both ways b.Bappa could kick the shit out of Tom Brady
Ya you’re right Brady by elbows from the crucifixI beg the differ. Heard it both ways b.

His decline was sad to see. Could still take the punishment, but couldn't really dish it out like he used too. I wish he would have tried to pivot to his grappling towards the end. See if that could have gotten him a few more W's.Both of them got KO'd by a true A level athlete

And of course Schaub is an A level comedian. Shocked a man of such both athleticism and charisma didn't make it further in the UFC.
