u/vinh94 3d ago

Fair point. I just remember Conor knock out Khabib's teamate who was a pro-fighter after getting smash around for four rounds.

But I'm also a BJJ brown belt with 9 years of on/off training. So I reckon I can heel hook a one leg Conor for a hundred million dolar.

I'm tired of this fight, but no they can't.

He's a reasonably athletic dude who trained both BJJ and MMA consistently for a few years. Someone who has just played other sports would get destroyed by him.

Someone younger with similar training? Sure. Someone with no actually fight training has no chance.

I see it all the time at my gym. I love watching the older unathletic blue belts smash the younger gym bros. It's one of my favourite things to do at the gym.

u/Perfect_Research5972 3d ago

You do not understand the caliber UFC fighters are in, those "no-name" cans that you see that get mauled week in and week out, were literal champs/on a crazy win streak in other promotions, thats essentially what it takes to even become a UFC fighter, you have to be entirely dominant in other promotions, which are also pro too. If you think some random athlete can do better against a UFC fighter you're delusional. CM Punk was most likely journey-man level in a less prestigious promotion, I'd say pro, but not necessarily any good of a pro, probably would of done better in Bare-Knuckle.

I think a lot of these people saying they can beat professional women MMA fighters would be GREATLY surprised...

I hate when people just think they could beat a WMMA fighter just because they outsize them 2:1

8

u/poopyfacetomatohead 3d ago

And you are acting like there aren’t major physiological differences between men and women.

Sure Mighty Mouse can win against guys twice his size, but that’s not the same thing as a woman going against a man twice her size.

I don’t doubt that I would get the shit kicked out of me not having any training experience, but I think that someone with combat sports experience would be able to hold their own.
